3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 2/4/19
Giannis Antetokounmpo could be in for a big night against the Nets. Who else should you pay up for?

DraftKings Price: $10,900

Houston Rockets guard James Harden was once again a must-play on Saturday night with Chris Paul resting. Paul should be back tonight, however, which dramatically lowers Harden's potential upside in a game against the Phoenix Suns. As such, Harden is no longer in must-play territory, and we can look elsewhere for studs tonight.

One such stud--often highlighted here--is Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo. Tonight's game against the Brooklyn Nets sets up well for Giannis, and he has shown in recent meetings against them that he could be in for a big night.

Giannis has scored 70-plus DraftKings points in three out of his past nine games against the Nets, who, at 28-26, come into tonight's contest with the sixth-best record in the Eastern Conference. The game has a total set at 229.5, second highest on the slate and an indication that fantasy points will flow like the Amazon.

We project the dazzling sixth-year star to score 55.3 DraftKings points, just 3.0 below our projection for Harden at a $2,000 discount.
