Giannis Antetokounmpo, SF/PF, Milwaukee Bucks

DraftKings Price: $11,300

First off, if you want to roster James Harden, go ahead and do it. Picking him to have a bad game at this point is almost a fool's errand. That said, he and the Houston Rockets are huge 14-point favorites at home against the Cleveland Cavaliers, so there is a (minute) chance he doesn't play 90 minutes and score 300 DraftKings points.

If you don't go with Harden -- or somehow want to build a really crazy stars and scrubs lineup -- then Milwaukee Bucks do-everything man Giannis Antetokounmpo presents a very solid alternative. Giannis heads into tonight's game with a bruised hip and sore quad, but he is still probable despite those minor afflictions.

If he starts (and we should hopefully know by tip-off as the game starts at 7:30 Eastern), then use him as he's dominated the Knicks recently. I don't use the word lightly. He's topped 60.0 DraftKings points in each of his past four games against New York. He's scored more than 56.0 DraftKings points in 8 of his past 10 games against them.

We have Giannis projected for 57.9 DraftKings points tonight, which would equate to a value of 5.2 DraftKings points per minute. Lock and load, folks. Lock and load.
