3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 3/12/19
With Jimmy Butler sidelined, Ben Simmons should have no shortage of opportunity to take advantage of a great matchup against the Cavs. Which other high-priced players should be on your radar?

Giannis Antetokounmpo, SF, Milwaukee Bucks

Price: $12,000

Giannis Antetokounmpo is the most expensive player on Tuesday's slate, and he's worth it.

His floor is basically unmatched at this point. He's fallen below 46.0 FanDuel points exactly once in his last 25 games, and that was a return from injury that saw him play limited minutes. Even if we include that game, he's put up an average of 57.2 FanDuel points in only 33.0 minutes per game over his last 20 outings.

Despite his last five games including two matchups with teams that rank top-three in defensive rating, he's also averaging 55.9 FanDuel points per game over those five.

Tonight he's in a far softer spot against the New Orleans Pelicans. The Pels rank 24th in defensive rating while playing at a top-five pace this season. In full tank mode since the All-Star break, New Orleans leads the league in pace over their last 10 games.

The Pels allow top-10 fantasy efficiency to opponents at both wing and both forward positions, so Giannis should continue to feast here.
