Best EuroLeague Bets for Friday, Oct. 18

As we dive into another exciting week of EuroLeague basketball, the betting landscape is looking particularly sharp. With intricate matchups and player performances to analyze, the potential for lucrative wagers is ripe. This article, part of our EuroLeague Picks series, aims to provide insightful bets for this Friday, October 18, so make sure to play responsibly while keeping an eye on the latest news.

Recap of Previous Insights

In the previous betting round, we experienced a bit of a mixed bag. While our hopes for Serge Ibaka hit a bump due to foul trouble, our other narratives panned out nicely—specifically, both unders on Edy Tavares cashed as predicted. As we continue to refine our approach, I hope to relay any late-breaking news that might affect betting lines, so don’t forget to check the threads on my Twitter account for real-time updates @RotoWireEuro.

Players to Watch and Bets to Consider

1. Mam Jaiteh Under 6.5 Rebounds (-110 FanDuel)

   Jaiteh has shown considerable promise this season, notably logging 29 minutes in his last outing. However, given that his team boasts three competent centers, it’s prudent to bet on him falling below the 6.5 rebound mark. With so many bodies on the board vying for rebounds, the odds lean towards the under being the more favorable bet in the long run.

2. Isaia Cordinier Over 12.5 Points (-118 FanDuel)

   Cordinier’s form has been nothing short of spectacular, particularly after his stellar performance during the Olympic Games. Currently leading his team in usage, he’s become a vital offensive cog. The recent performance of Kevin Punter, who also thrived against Monaco, gives reason to believe that Cordinier can maintain his momentum, provided he stays out of foul trouble.

3. Edwin Jackson Under 6.5 Points (-115 FanDuel)

   Jackson had a fleeting moment in his last game, scoring 10 points in an extended role. However, consistency is key, and the expectations might be set a little too high this time around. I suspect he’ll revert back to a muted scoring output, making the under an appealing choice.

4. Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot Over 2.5 Rebounds (-110 FanDuel)

   With Donta Hall possibly sidelined and a bit banged up, Luwawu-Cabarrot should see more playing time, particularly in a fast-paced game. As he adjusts to more minutes, betting on him to grab at least three boards seems well-placed, especially as he adapts to increased rebounding responsibilities.

5. Will Clyburn Under 11.5 Points (-110 bet365)

   This one comes with a caveat: Clyburn is a notorious scorer capable of lighting up the score sheet. However, his discomfort with his new team is evident, and while he managed a solid outing last game, it seems more of an outlier than a norm. Given that he’s still adjusting to the offensive system, the under feels like a prudent bet.

6. Nikos Rogkavopoulos Over 6.5 Points (+100 BetMGM)

   Rogkavopoulos is a player whose skill set shines through every time he steps onto the court. His proficiency from long range and ability to capitalize on transition opportunities make betting on him to exceed 6.5 points a solid choice. If this matchup unfolds as expected, with a higher pace, there’s a good chance he could snag opportunities for wide-open shots.
