3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 10/23/17
Giannis Antetokounmpo finds himself in a beautiful spot against a shorthanded Charlotte team. Which other high-priced players are in a sweet spot?

DraftKings Salary: $10,900

With Michael Kidd-Gilchrist again ruled out, the Charlotte Hornets simply have nobody who can check Giannis Antetokounmpo defensively. That is the case for Antetokounmpo's opponent essentially every night, but it is especially apparent tonight, when he will likely be defended by Jeremy Lamb or rookie Dwayne Bacon.

The Greek Freak has been just ridiculous to start the season, soaking up all the usage for the Milwaukee Bucks (34.3%) and topping 60 DraftKings points in each of his first three games. He probably won't continue to shoot 67.2% from the floor, but that certainly doesn't make him a fade candidate.

He's a near auto-play on DraftKings, where he carries just a $10.900 price tag, as opposed to his FanDuel-high $12,200 price. If you're not finding a way to play Antetokounmpo in cash games at this point, you are putting yourself at a disadvantage to the field.
