Giannis Antetokounmpo, SF/PF, Milwaukee Bucks

DraftKings Salary: $11,600

Giannis Antetokounmpo comes into tonight as the most expensive player on the slate, but for good reason. He has topped 60 DraftKings points in back-to-back games and has an average of 58.6 DraftKings points in the month of December. The Milwaukee Bucks also have one of the slate's highest implied team totals tonight, as they take on a Chicago Bulls team ranked 21st in defensive efficiency.

Chicago ranks fifth in DraftKings points per game allowed to both small forwards and power forwards and has absolutely nobody who can match up with Antetokounmpo. Justin Holiday and Denzel Valentine are at five- and six-inch height disadvantages, respectively, while Nikola Mirotic isn't nearly athletic enough to track Giannis. The Greek Freak averaged 57.6 DraftKings points in four meetings against Chicago last season, highlighted by a 74.75 DraftKings point performance -- and that team had Jimmy Butler on it. This year's version has no answer for Antetokounmpo, who shouldn't have any trouble reaching the 58 DraftKings points he needs to reach value.
