3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 12/1/16
Giannis Antetokounmpo, SG, Milwaukee Bucks
FanDuel Price: $10,300
Giannis Antetokounmpo is a fairly unique fantasy option in that he has the ability to put up big numbers in just about any stat category. He is averaging 22.8 points, 8.6 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 2.1 steals and 2.1 blocks in 34.8 minutes per game, while also sporting a 28.9% usage rate.
He has topped 60 FanDuel points twice in his last four games -- posting a season-high 63.9 on Tuesday -- and brings that big production into an ideal matchup against the Brooklyn Nets.
Brooklyn's 111.1 defensive rating is the second-worst mark in the league, and they have combined it with playing at the league's second-fastest pace, giving opponents a ton of opportunity for fantasy production. They have also allowed top-10 fantasy production to opponents at every position expect power forward this season.
Playing up in pace tonight with an ability to contribute fantasy points even on possessions in which he doesn't touch the ball, Antetokounmpo is both a safe bet for solid production as well as one of the highest upside plays on the slate.
