Giannis Antetokounmpo, SG, Milwaukee Bucks

FanDuel Price: $11,100

Giannis Antetokounmpo's fantasy production has been a little up-and-down recently, but there's no denying the upside he offers -- the Greek Freak has scored at least 55 FanDuel points in five of his last nine games. He is also one of only six players to have at least five games with 60-plus fantasy points this season.

There's also plenty of reason to believe Giannis will have a solid floor moving forward and the recent subpar performances won't become a trend.

He has more games with 40-plus minutes (3) than those with fewer than 34 (2) in his last 15 contests, averaging averaging 37.5 minutes with a 26.8% usage rate. His well-rounded production, with career-highs in rebound rate (14.0%), assist rate (26.5%), steal rate (2.5%) and block (4.8%) rate also means he can put up serious fantasy numbers even when struggling on offense.

He probably won't have a problem on offense Wednesday since he'll face the Denver Nuggets, who are the NBA's worst with regard to defensive rating while allowing top-three fantasy production to opposing shooting guards this season.
