In order to stay on top of any last minute roster & team news/absences, we are using the ROTOWIRE page and their fantasy section for Euroleague basketball here. While there are probably also other resources on this, ROTOWIRE consistently provides any latest updates even with just a couple of minutes remaining before tip-off! So keep an eye and cut your losses short. 

Coach selection:

No more "ALBA" strategy.... so we need to move onwards with a new one. As amazing Paris and coach Splitter have doe this year, we will probably be going with home-court advantage and the experience in big games of coach Matteo (8.1 CR). We would suggest as an alternative coach Herbert (5 CR) slightly over coach Sfairopoulos again due to the home-court advantage.  

Overview

   The postseason is here!!! After a great regular season lets enjoy the most intriguing part of the season starting with the showdown of the first 2 Play-in games, played in a single turn this Tuesday April 15th.

Have a look at the playoff tree of the competition's postseason format for full information on the (potential) match-ups.

As some teams are now eliminated, our choices have now been a bit narrowed down. Additionally games are expected to be much tighter so picking will not be as easy.

We will divide our picks in main (6) and bench players as we now have unlimited trades so.... Let's dive in:  

Main Players:

1. T.J. Shorts (20.2 CR) is a definite pick for our team as on of the standout performers of this year and will be expected to carry Paris against real Madrid.  

2. Walter Tavares (16.1 CR) has been sensational lately and is expected to dominate a far inferior French frontline and will also probably be our captain.

3. Facundo Campazzo (15.8) who we expect to raise his game in the postseason.

4. Carsen Edwards (15.5 CR) has been red-hot for Bayern and is expected to continue.

5. Mario Hezonia (13.4) who has probably been Real Madrid's most consistent player this season

6.  Filip Petrusev (12.5 CR) is expected to shoulder heavy minutes as the main big man of Red Star also given the huge absence of Bolomboy.

Bench Players:

1. Vladimir Lucic (9.4 CR) who is expected to feature heavily against the excellent forwards of Real Madrid.

2. Michael Jantunen (9.3 CR) who is covering both center and PF positions for Paris and has been in a good form as of late .

3. Andreas Obst (6.9 CR) who might always have an explosive scoring output.

4. Dejan Davidovac (5.1 CR) as a filler pick playing PF; a position that Bayern has found difficulty to defend well through the year
