3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 12/17/18
Giannis Antetokounmpo, SF, Milwaukee Bucks
Price: $11,800
Giannis Antetokounmpo showed us in his last game that a brief four-game fantasy slump wasn't anything to be too worried about. He erupted for 74.8 FanDuel points on Friday, marking his fourth game with at least 70 fantasy points over his last 11 contests.
Despite the bounce-back outing, Giannis' price-tag fell again, and it's down under $12,000 for the first time since November 23 (which was, coincidentally, also following an outing of 70-plus fantasy points).
Giannis played 37.5 minutes in his last outing, making that the fifth time in his last nine games that he has eclipsed 37 minutes, and with his second-ranked average of 1.62 FanDuel points per minute, playing time like that makes it unsurprising that he's hitting 70 FanDuel points so often.
Tonight's matchup with the Detroit Pistons may have warranted a drop in salary if Giannis had been more expensive recently, but the short slump had already driven down his salary, leaving him under-priced despite the tough matchup.
