Giannis Antetokounmpo, SF, Milwaukee Bucks

Price: $12,200

Giannis Antetokounmpo has been having an amazing season, ranking second only to Anthony Davis in FanDuel points per game with 55.6 FanDuel points per game -- 3.6 points more than the third-ranked player.

With a price tag often close to Davis', though, Giannis hasn't been someone I talk about a lot in this column because most nights Davis is the stronger play. But on tonight's slate, Giannis is the guy.

He's $700 cheaper than Brow, and also in a far better spot. Friday's matchup between the Milwaukee Bucks and Golden State Warriors has a massive 240.0-point over/under, and the Bucks being 1.0-point favorites means a couple of big things. First, that this game should stay close, which would likely make it a shootout in which starters are getting a ton of minutes, and, second, that the Bucks' 120.5-point implied total is Friday's highest.

Giannis' production fell off when he played only 26.3 minutes in a blowout in his last game, but he hit at least 50 FanDuel points in each of the seven games before that, with at least 60 in five and at least 70 in three of those.

Look for him to bounce back to that kind of form tonight.
