3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 3/21/18

Giannis Antetokounmpo, SF/PF, Milwaukee Bucks

DraftKings Salary: $11,200

If LeBron is option 1A today, Giannis Antetokounmpo is 1B. He comes in at a $500 discount and will have slightly lower ownership, but the Greek Freak has been nearly as dominant as King James recently. He has averaged 66.9 DraftKings points in three games over the past week, and his game script is every bit as good as LeBron's.

The Milwaukee Bucks-Los Angeles Clippers game trails Cleveland-Toronto for the highest over/under on the slate by just half a point while Milwaukee actually boasts a higher implied team total than Cleveland. They also draw an exhausted opponent as the Clippers will be traveling from Minnesota to Milwaukee and playing their fifth game in seven nights.

The matchup is better for the Bucks, too, as the Clips rank in the bottom 10 in opponents points per game while Toronto boasts a top-10 scoring defense. The Clippers also have no answer for Antetokounmpo from an individual matchup perspective, and if Tobias Harris (illness) doesn't suit up, that becomes even more apparent.

If you can find the extra $500 to fit James in, he is the preferred option. However, Antetokounmpo projects as an almost identical play on paper. If you need a slight savings to make the rest of your roster work -- or if you just want to pivot to the lower-owned of the two in tournaments -- Giannis is a viable option.
