3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 1/25/19

Giannis Antetokounmpo, SF, Milwaukee Bucks

Price: $11,500

If you can't make space to pay all the way up for Harden, Giannis Antetokounmpo is priced down a bit at what looks like a modest $11,500.

He's been largely overshadowed by Harden's dominance, but despite playing only 32.0 minutes per game, The Greek Freak is averaging 55.2 FanDuel points per game since the start of Harden's hot streak. He ranks second in the NBA (ahead of Harden, even) with an average of 1.66 FanDuel points per minute, so it's not exactly surprising he's producing at an elite level even while his minutes are down.

He's played in five games since missing one contest two weeks ago, and all five of those game were decided by at least 10 points, leaving him averaging an especially low 29.1 minutes per game over his last five. And still, he notched at least 46.0 FanDuel points in all five of those games, averaging 50.7 per. He had been priced no lower than $12,000 in six of the seven games before his brief absence, so we've got him at a discount here.

There's still blowout risk tonight -- the Milwaukee Bucks are favored by 11.5 points against the Charlotte Hornets -- but that doesn't take him out of play. As we've seen, his efficiency still gives him a great floor in blowouts, and that's especially true tonight, as the Bucks sport a slate-high 120.75 implied total.

If the game does end up close (or stay close until late), we can be in for another look at just how strong his upside can be (his five games with 70-plus FanDuel points are the third-most in the NBA), which his price tag does not capture tonight.
