DraftKings Salary: $11,500
Giannis Antetokounmpo sat out Saturday's game with knee soreness, but he is listed as probable for the Milwaukee Bucks tonight. He should be all systems go for a Milwaukee squad with the highest implied total on the board against the Chicago Bulls. Chicago ranks in the bottom 10 in defensive efficiency, and they are in the bottom three in DraftKings points per game allowed to both small forwards and power forwards.
While there are few players in the league who can defend the Greek Freak, the Bulls are especially underequipped. They normally play three guards, running out undersized dudes like Justin Holiday, Denzel Valentine, and David Nwaba at the three, while their power forwards (Nikola Mirotic and Lauri Markkanen) are nowhere near quick enough to stay in front of Giannis.
Chicago has allowed the seventh-highest field goal percentage from within five feet, and with Robin Lopez getting phased out a bit recently, that number could get even worse. Antetokounmpo leads all scorers in points from within five feet and should get whatever he wants in this matchup. He is a terrific target in any format.
