3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 3/26/19
Giannis Antetokounmpo, SF, Milwaukee Bucks
Price: $12,400
Well worth the highest price tag on the slate, Giannis Antetokounmpo continues to show a ridiculous combination of floor and ceiling.
He's posted fewer than 47.9 FanDuel points in only 2 of his last 20 games, topping 50 in 15 of them. He's also dropped at least 70 FanDuel points 4 times in his last 15 games, and his last four include marks of 74.7 and 89.7.
He's one of only three players averaging at least 56 FanDuel points per game since the All-Star break, and he's doing that in only 31.9 minutes per game. Nobody else ranks even top 10 in fantasy scoring while averaging fewer than 32 minutes in that time.
That efficiency is incredible, but low minutes can be a concern for even the best players. That's not the case for Giannis tonight though, as the Milwaukee Bucks come in as only 4-point favorites against the Houston Rockets.
Since the break, Antetokounmpo has averaged 33 minutes per game in contests decided by 10 or fewer points, playing at least 35 minutes in three of those seven. He should be in for a bigger workload tonight than we've seen with the Bucks winning each of their last two games by at least 20, and that makes both his floor and ceiling even stronger.
