3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 2/4/19
Producing like a stud with John Wall out of the picture, Bradley Beal offers elite upside against the Hawks tonight. Which other high-priced players should be on your radar on Monday?

Giannis Antetokounmpo, SF, Milwaukee Bucks

Price: $11,600

With Chris Paul likely back in action after sitting in the second half of a back-to-back, James Harden becomes more of a usual top-tier stud, making the $2,200 in savings you get with Giannis Antetokounmpo very easy to like.

The Milwaukee Bucks' 117-point implied total is only two points behind the Houston Rockets', and this game against the Brooklyn Nets has a spread one point closer than Rockets/Suns.

The Nets can be a tough matchup, allowing bottom-five fantasy production on the wing, but Giannis' versatility makes him tough to nail down at one position, which is encouraging against a Brooklyn squad that allows above-average production in the frontcourt and at the point.

Surpassed only by Harden and Anthony Davis, Giannis is averaging 55.1 FanDuel points per game this season -- numbers that would have tied him for first in the NBA last year. He's filling up the stat-sheet with 26.6 points, a career-high 12.5 rebounds, a career-high 5.8 assists, and 2.9 combined blocks and steals in only 33.1 minutes per game.

Our models project Giannis for only 3.3 fewer fantasy points than Harden as the slate's top scorer, and with the price difference that makes Giannis the clear top play.
