Giannis Antetokounmpo, PG/SF, Milwaukee Bucks

DraftKings Salary: $10,800

Giannis Antetokounmpo picked up right where he left off last season, dropping 37 points and 62.75 DraftKings points in the season opener. He ran into a little foul trouble early, but came back strong, posting a double-double by the end of the third quarter. He ended up playing 37 minutes even with the early foul trouble, and racked up a ridiculous 40.7% usage rate.

The Greek Freak will look for a repeat performance tonight against LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers, who had no answer for him last year. In four meetings with the Cavs, Antetokounmpo averaged 50.8 DraftKings points. Cleveland will have Jae Crowder to throw at him this time around, but Antetokounmpo still averaged over 45 DraftKings points when facing Crowder last season. That should be looked at as his floor in this one, and he already displayed his immense ceiling. He is a viable play in all formats.
