Best EuroLeague Bets for Tuesday, Jan. 6

Starting the year 3-2 with a +350 winner on Derrick Alston Jr was a nice way to kick off 2026. We were just one Stefan Jovic point away from a 4-1 day with two plus-money hits, so the process is clearly in a good place.

Now we move on to a slate that's full of chaos with transfers and injury news aplenty. Our best picks are below, but check out RotoWire's EuroLeague Injury Report and EuroLeague News if you want to consider more options.

All odds for EuroLeague player props current as of 7:15 AM ET Tuesday.

PICKS TO CLICK

Bruno Fernando 10+ Points (+105 DraftKings)

Going back to the well on a guy who went under for us last week? A tradition unlike any other.

The key difference this time is Tyrique Jones is unavailable after joining Olympiacos. That changes the entire frontcourt rotation for Partizan. While the matchup isn't ideal, Fernando is more than capable of scoring when handling a full workload -- even against someone like Daniel Theis -- and he should get that Tuesday with Tonye Jekiri just joining the team.

I debated between Fernando or Cameron Payne for my Partizan prop, especially with Duane Washington out, but Partizan's backcourt minutes have been much more volatile. That gives Fernando the edge.

Tornike Shengelia 15+ Points (+105 bet365)

Shengelia returns to EuroLeague action after an extended absence, and I'm expecting a strong "back to work" performance. Rust shouldn't be an issue, as he has made a couple domestic appearances following his layoff.

The matchup couldn't be better against a Maccabi team that bleeds points at every position. Will Clyburn is still sidelined and Jan Vesely is uncertain due to an illness, which opens the door for Shengelia to dominate the usage in Barcelona's frontcourt.

Thomas Heurtel Over 16.5 Points+Assists (-115 bet365)

Shaquille Harrison 10+ Points (+265 DraftKings)

With Nando de Colo gone, so are his 20 minutes and 25 percent usage rate. These two teams play fast, and ASVEL carries an 81.5 team total, plus someone besides Glynn Watson is going to have to pick up the scoring load.

Enter Heurtel, who I think fills de Colo's spot as the floor general seamlessly. As a bit of insurance, I also like Harrison at big plus money. If he gets hot, this number is very live. There's even a realistic path where both cash.
