THE SLATE

We're going with an abridged version of the article today, but will stick to the normal process.

The over/unders for all six games are within six points of each other, so focus more on injury situations than expected pace on the final day of Round 20.

BAR FC Barcelona at CSK CSKA Moscow

Key Injuries: Nikola Mirotic (BAR), Brandon Davies (BAR), Victor Claver (BAR), Will Clyburn (CSK), Daniel Hackett (CSK)

Best Bets for Success

Mike James - averaging 8.1 more points on DraftKings than anyone else on the slate.
Nikola Milutinov - recorded a double-double Wednesday and in six of the last seven Rounds.
Nick Calathes - CSKA ranks third-worst in assists allowed to opposing guards.

DFS Darlings: Pierre Oriola

PAN Panathinaikos OPAP Athens at ULK Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul

Key Injuries: Ioannis Papapetrou (PAN), Howard Sant-Roos (PAN), Danilo Barthel (ULK), Ali Muhammed (ULK)

Best Bets for Success

Nemanja Nedovic/Georgios Papagiannis - will get extra opportunities with Papapetrou out.
Jan Vesely, Nando de Colo, Marko Guduric

DFS Darlings: Lorenzo Brown

ZAL Zalgiris Kaunas at DYR Zenit Saint Petersburg

Key Injuries: Patricio Garino (ZAL), Steve Vasturia (ZAL), Alex Poythress (DYR)

Best Bets for Success

Kevin Pangos/Arturas Gudaitis - Pangos has been Zenit's best player this season, but Gudaitis was the past two Rounds.
Marius Grigonis - Zalgiris' best scorer, but Zenit is easily the best at slowing down guards.

DFS Darlings: Austin Hollins

ASV LDLC ASVEL at OLY Olympiacos Piraeus

Key Injuries: William Howard (ASV), Amine Noua (ASV), Kostas Papanikolaou (OLY), Aaron Harrison (OLY)

Best Bets for Success

Kostas Sloukas - Few have been more productive of late.
Norris Cole - Olympiacos is allowing plenty of points and threes to opposing guards.

DFS Darlings: Shaq McKissic, Moustapha Fall

MAD Real Madrid at MUN FC Bayern Munich

Key Injuries: Anthony Randolph (MAD), Sergio Llull (MAD), Rudy Fernandez (MAD), Nihad Dedovic (MUN), Zan Sisko (MUN)

Best Bets for Success

Walter Tavares - Will no doubt be focused on a better showing after having his worst game of the season last time these sides matched up.
Wade Baldwin - With Jalen Reynolds contending with Tavares and Vladimir Lucic playing in just his third game since returning, Baldwin -- under the $9,000-mark on DraftKings gets the top spot.

DFS Darlings: Alex Tyus, D.J. Seeley

RED Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade at PAM Valencia Basket

Key Injuries: Jordan Loyd (RED), Landry Nnoko (RED), Marko Simonovic (RED), Bojan Dubljevic (PAM), Vanja Marinkovic (PAM)

Best Bets for Success

Johnny O'Bryant - Valencia is giving up the most points and rebounds to players at the forward positions.
Mike Tobey - Red Star has done a good job against centers, but they are a bit short-handed in the post and Dubljevic remains sidelined.

DFS Darlings: Klemen Prepelic, Dejan Davidovac
