3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 11/16/18

Giannis Antetokounmpo, SF, Milwaukee Bucks

Price: $11,500

Giannis Antetokounmpo has had a terrific fantasy floor this season, failing to hit 50 FanDuel points only 3 times in 13 games.

Now, 50 FanDuel points isn't anything special at this price point, but nobody has hit that mark more than 10 times (and only one other player has done it more than 8), and Giannis combines that floor with a terrific ceiling.

He's got performances of 69.6 FanDuel points (just three games ago) and 78.6 (the fifth-highest single-game score for any player this season) to his name as well. This blend of floor and ceiling comes from his ability to fill up every area of the box score, averaging 25.8 points, 12.7 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.4 blocks in only 32.8 minutes per game. Those are career-high marks in both rebounds and assists, as well as the second-most points per game of his career despite playing his fewest minutes per game since the 2014-15 season.

The Chicago Bulls rank only 24th in defensive rating and 26th in rebound rate this year, while they are also allow top-10 marks in both steals and blocks allowed per 100 possessions. This is a spot where Antetokounmpo has the potential for big production in any area, and the potential that he does it in multiple categories makes this a prime spot for him to show off that ceiling again.
