PICKS TO CLICK
Dzanan Musa 12+ Points (+111 DraftKings)
Dzanan Musa 15+ Points (+275 DraftKings)
Dzanan Musa 18+ Points (+640 DraftKings)
Dzanan Musa Over 1.5 Assists (-126 FanDuel)
To start off, I'm going 0.35 units on at least 15 points and 0.15 units on 18. The main play here is Musa to get 12 points, so if you're only taking one bet from this game, that's the priority.
He played the most minutes since his return from an extended absence in Tuesday's overtime victory over Olympiacos, looked solid throughout and emerged unscathed. Now he draws his former team in a spot that screams upside -- which is why I'm attacking this game from multiple angles.
Musa had the best stretch of his career with Real Madrid, and while there's likely no bad blood, his usage and minutes were always inconsistent there. This feels like a spot where he'd love to show out, so I'm projecting a slight bump in usage.
The Musa assists are more of a sprinkle, but if you're building a same-game parlay, I'd also be tempted to add Filip Petrusev. He has been slowed by an injury of late, but this could be a spot where Duabi lets him loose.
Alberto Abalde Over 1.5 Threes (+145 FanDuel)
This is only a half unit play, but with Gabriel Deck remaining out, Abalde's minutes floor is very stable. He's not a high-volume shot hunter, but his teammates do an excellent job finding him in rhythm and he's shooting a sizzling 48 percent from long range in EuroLeague play this season.
Jerian Grant Over 15.5 Points+Assists (-115 bet365)
Surely this line gets raised eventually. Since Kendrick Nunn went down, head coach Ergin Ataman has leaned heavily on Grant for minutes and usage. He's playing nearly the entire game, consistently clearing this number and now gets another favorable backcourt matchup against Partizan.
Chris Jones Over 15.5 Points+Assists (-115 bet365)
Isiaha Mike Over 17.5 Points+Rebounds+Assists (-115 bet365)
We will cap things off with a pair of "what-if" bets. Jones becomes very playable if either Elijah Bryant or Vasilije Micic sit out, and as of print time the former is expected to remain sidelined. Even if Micic plays, given his age and the fact he was injured just two days ago, there's a real chance his minutes are limited to the low 20s, and that keeps Jones firmly in play.
For Mike, I'm only playing this if Vladimir Lucic remains sidelined. Mike logged 28 minutes Tuesday and went just 2-for-12 from the field, but the usage was there. When this team is depleted -- particularly without Lucic, who plays a similar position -- Mike consistently sees expanded opportunities. He just has to hit a couple shots.
