3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 12/10/18

Giannis Antetokounmpo, SF, Milwaukee Bucks

Price: $12,300

You're not going to find anyone with a fantasy floor much better than Giannis Antetokounmpo's at this point.

He had one fantasy dud (31.9 FanDuel points) when he was limited to 26.2 minutes in a blowout win last week, and other than that he has not fallen below 49.6 FanDuel points since November 6. In that stretch he also has six games above 60 FanDuel points and three games above 70, showing off an elite ceiling as well.

There is certainly some blowout risk tonight, as the Milwaukee Bucks are 13.5-point favorites, but a matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers is appealing enough that his upside makes him well worth the risk.

The Cavs' 115.1 defensive rating is the worst in the NBA by a huge margin, with a 2.2-point gap between them and the second-worst team. That's bigger than the gap between the 29th-ranked and 23rd-ranked teams.

Giannis has averaged 37.4 minutes per game in his last seven contests that have finished with a margin of victory under 20 points, so if this game stays relatively close he should have plenty of opportunity to take advantage of this matchup and improve on his second-ranked mark of 55.4 FanDuel points per game.
