Giannis Antetokounmpo, SF, Milwaukee Bucks

Price: $11,000

Despite having 10 games on tap tonight, we're surprisingly short on top-end fantasy options. That leaves Giannis Antetokounmpo standing out even more than he usually does.

The Greek Freak had been going through a bit of a slump lately, leaving him with his second-lowest salary since his season-opener in October. He snapped out of that slump on Wednesday night, going off for 31 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 assists in only 29.2 minutes of action. That game was a 21-point blowout, and usually, we can count on Giannis to play tons of minutes, leading the league with 37.9 per game.

He also leads the NBA with 54.6 FanDuel points per game, and even in a shaky matchup against the Toronto Raptors, Antetokounmpo is way under-priced here. It comes as no surprise that numberFire's models project him as Friday's top fantasy scorer by a big margin.
