3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 3/28/19
Giannis Antetokounmpo, SF, Milwaukee Bucks
FanDuel Price: $12,400
Giannis Antetokounmpo is the slate's most expensive player, but he offers massive upside in a nice spot against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Milwaukee Bucks own a slate-high 120.25-point implied total, and we peg Giannis to put up 54.6 FanDuel points.
LA has been good lately versus small forwards, limiting them to the fifth-fewest FanDuel points per game over their past 15 contests (38.22). They ain't played anyone like Antetokounmpo, though.
The key to Giannis reaching his ceiling lately has been his minutes as they've fluctuated quite a bit over his past seven games. In the three outings in that span in which he's seen at least 34 minutes, he's scored 89.7, 74.7 and 54.6 FanDuel points. In the three in which he has seen between 30 and 34 minutes, he's amassed 42.8, 56.5, and 53.1 FanDuel points. He also had a 36.3-point dud in that stretch, but that came in just 26 minutes in a blowout win.
We project Antetokounmpo for 33.3 minutes tonight versus a Clips team that has surrendered at least 105 points in 22 straight games, giving Giannis a great floor. And if he sees a little more run, he could deliver a ceiling performance.
