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:

We will probably take the risk and go with coach Herbert (5 CR) as Bayern has been a better team throughout the year.   

Overview

   The last game before the playoffs is here as only one team is yet to be determined as the Olympiakos opponent. The game between Real Madrid & Bayern is expected to be a great one but with just 2 teams we are facing very limited options. 

We will again divide our picks in main (6) -probably split equally between the two teams- and bench players (4) as we again have unlimited trades so.... Let's dive in:  

Main Players:

1. Facundo Campazzo (16) who showed that we were right to expect him to raise his game in the postseason.  

2. Walter Tavares (15.7 CR) did not have a great game in the loss against Paris but we are still going to keep him. as he remains the best big man in the play-in. 

3. Carsen Edwards (15.5 CR) stayed low for his standard in the victory against Red Star but we still back him for a good performance.

4. Devin Booker (13.5 CR) is expected to play an important role as he is a big body that can draw the opposing centers out of the paint and score from the outside.

5. Mario Hezonja (12.9) who will need to improve over his last game against Paris, 

6.  Weiller Babb (11.7 CR) had a really solid game last round and showed that he contribute in multiple ways.

Bench Players:

1. Dzanan Musa (12.3 CR) who is overdue for a really solid game.

2. Vladimir Lucic (9.9 CR) who is expected to feature heavily against the excellent forwards of Real Madrid.

3. Gabriel Deck (9.5 CR) who had a positive impact last round and has a good record in big games in the past.

4. Andreas Obst (6.5 CR) who might always have an explosive scoring output even though he was a non factor last game.
