3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 1/6/17
Giannis Antetokounmpo, SG, Milwaukee Bucks
FanDuel Price: $10,700
Giannis Antetokounmpo posted 53.6 FanDuel points against the New York Knicks on Wednesday, and he will be running back the same great matchup tonight.
The Knicks rank 26th in the NBA in defensive rating and have allowed above-average fantasy production to wing players (including the league's second-most fantasy points per game to shooting guards), and Giannis should once again thrive in this spot.
His salary has been climbing recently, but still hasn't quite matched his outstanding production. He has fewer than 40 FanDuel points in only one of his last 19 games, and is averaging 50.7 per game in that span. He is able to contribute in every area of the box score, averaging 23.9 points, 9.1 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.9 steals per game, which has gone a long way to making him one of the league's most consistent fantasy producers.
The Greek Freak has the third-most games of 40-plus FanDuel point performances of any player this season, putting him in elite company, surrounded in that ranking by James Harden and Anthony Davis, players who you will almost never see for less than $11,000.
