The following betting recommendations for EuroLeague player props are based on odds current as of 9:00 AM ET on Friday, September 25.
**Recommendations:**
- **TJ Shorts Over 15.5 Points (-115 FanDuel):** Shorts has moved on from a crowded Panathinaikos roster and is in a position to take on a primary scoring role for Valencia. Despite concerns about player rotations under the new coaching of Pedro Martinez, Shorts' high usage potential makes him a strong candidate for a standout performance early in the season.
- **Derrick Alston Jr Over 11.5 Points (-115 FanDuel):** Alston's performance last season was impressive, and he is expected to have an even greater role this year without relying on injuries to teammates. He averaged approximately 15.0 points per game in the preseason, suggesting he will be a central figure in the offense.
- **Braxton Key Under 5.5 Rebounds (-135 FanDuel):** After a successful Thursday with unders, this pick aims for another favorable outcome. Key had solid rebounding numbers in the preseason; however, Fenerbahce's tendency to rotate their frontcourt players could limit his minutes and opportunities.
- **Alec Peters Over 10.5 Points (-118 FanDuel):** With Peters stepping into a more prominent role now that he is no longer behind Sasha Vezenkov, he is anticipated to receive ample playing time and scoring chances. His potential to reach a high scoring output early in the season makes this a promising bet.
