Let's get to it!
Guard
McKinley Wright IV, Dubai Basketball (15.1 credits)
Wright is one of seven guards who accrued over 95.0 total fantasy points over the last five Rounds, and his role as the initiator for Dubai makes him a valuable option. He's one of the pricier options on the slate, but his consistency makes him tough to pass up. He scored at least 16 points in four of his last five appearances, a stretch over which he averaged 17.0 points, 2.4 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.8 three-pointers per game.
Cameron Payne, Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade (10.5 credits)
Payne finds himself on the injury report, but he is not dealing with a serious setback and should be ready to play Friday against Real Madrid. Payne has been excellent of late, averaging 16.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.2 steals per game over his last five outings. He ranks 11th among guards in total fantasy points over that span.
TJ Shorts, Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens (9.9 credits)
Both Kendrick Nunn and Kostas Sloukas are working back from injuries, but it's unclear if either will be 100 percent, and Shorts is coming off his best game of the season. With Nigel Hayes-Davis seemingly on the way Panathinaikos could be rejuvenated, and Shorts -- after lighting up Fenerbahce several times last season -- could be a sneaky option.
Jordan Loyd, Anadolu Efes Istanbul (9.0 credits)
Loyd stuffed the stat sheet in both games last week and averaged 27.5 fantasy points per contest. Efes will still be down several players in Round 28, so it's likely Loyd will fill a similar role. He's a solid bet when he's healthy, which he appears to be now. Plus, he will not cost you all that much.
Forward
Sasha Vezenkov, Olympiacos Piraeus (21.2 credits)
Yes, Vezenkov costs close to 25 percent of your team's entire budget. However, it's hard to find a better option than Vezenkov, who will head into the break as the frontrunner for the MVP award. He is having an outstanding season and most recently posted a 20-point, eight-rebound performance in a win over Virtus. Vezenkov put up at least 20 points in seven of his last nine outings, and since the start of that stretch is averaging 21.9 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 2.3 triples per night. He easily led all forwards with 133.0 FPT over the last five Rounds.
Kameron Taylor, Valencia Basket (12.8 credits)
Taylor has been one of the best players in the league since the calendar flipped to 2026. He dropped a double-double his last time out and since the start of January is averaging a robust 15.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.6 threes per game over eight appearances. Vezenkov was the only forward to put up more than Taylor's 100.60 fantasy points over the last five Rounds.
Azuolas Tubelis, Zalgiris Kaunas (12.1 credits)
Tubelis earns a spot here again coming off a week in which he put 26 points in a win over Monaco and 22 in a loss to Efes. He is averaging 16.6 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.4 threes per night since the start of January, and since the start of that stretch he has tossed up139.80 FPT over eight Rounds. That figure ranks fifth among forwards, and first among players at that position with a credit value below 12.5.
Tarik Biberovic, Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul (8.2 credits)
Biberovic has been on a tear of late and is coming off back-to-back 19-point performances over which he went 12-of-20 from the field. Biberovic has reached double digits in five straight games -- his longest streak of the campaign -- and has been entreched as a starter for the top team in the league. Biberovic ranks eighth among forwards in total fantasy points over the last five Rounds -- and he's the only player with a credit value below 8.5. By all accounts, he's a steal if he's able to continue playing the way he has been.
Center
Mfiondu Kabengele, Dubai Basketball (15.0 credits)
Kabengele was contained by Walter Tavares and Real Madrid his last time out, but fortunately that made him a bit more affordable. Prior to that he averaged a sizzling 18.8 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.3 steals over a four-game stretch. Despite the off night he put up more fantasy points than any other center over the last five Rounds, and he will now face a Milan club that will be down its top option -- Josh Nebo -- at the center spot.
Wenyen Gabriel, FC Bayern Munich (8.2 credits)
If you don't want to spend too much at the center spot Gabriel could be an excellent option. He has not made a lot of noise this season, but over the last six Rounds he averaged 9.5 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks per night. He has become the top option at the center spot for Bayern, and he will have a favorable matchup against a Maccabi team that does not possess a lot of depth at the same position.
Head Coach
Pedro Martinez, Valencia Basket (7.0 credits)
Martinez has led Valencia to the third spot in the standings, and he has as appealing a matchup as you could ask for in Round 28 -- a home game against an ASVEL team that sits in last place. He's probably going to be pretty popular, but he should be.
