Kevin Love, PF/C, Cleveland Cavaliers

DraftKings Salary: $7,800

For as well as Antetokoumpo's skillset fits this matchup, Kevin Love might have an even more advantageous matchup. The Milwaukee Bucks are terrible at rebounding and defending the three -- two things Love does very well.

Milwaukee ranks 28th in rebounding rate, so it should come as no surprise that Love has collected 28 boards in two meetings with them this season. The Bucks also have given up the highest three-point percentage in the league and the third-most points per possession to spot up shooters.

This is no fluke, either -- no team allowed more points to spot-up shooters last season than the Bucks did. Their aggressive defensive scheme utilizes more traps than normal, which gives opponents opportunities to find open shooters on skip passers if you have capable distributors. You know, like this guy.

Love has averaged 53.8 DraftKings points in two meetings with Milwaukee this season and could go for another big one tonight. He's a strong option in any format.
