3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 2/13/19
Giannis Antetokounmpo, SF, Milwaukee Bucks
Price: $11,900
If Harden's injury has you concerned, or you just can't find the value to fit his hefty price tag, Giannis Antetokounmpo is an excellent consolation.
Giannis has rattled off three 60-plus FanDuel point performances in his last four games, and the last time he posted fewer than 44.1 in a game was on December 22. The 17 games since then have seen him top 60 fantasy points nine times, while only falling below 50 on four occasions. He's averaging 57.2 FanDuel points per game in that stretch, despite playing an average of only 32.6 minutes.
Even if we expand our view to the entire season, he ranks third in the NBA with a strong 55.6 FanDuel points per game -- a mark that is on pace to be the ninth-highest single-season average since 2000.
His matchup isn't great tonight, taking on an Indiana Pacers team that ranks second in the NBA in defensive rating, but Antetokounmpo is cheap enough relative to both his recent and his season-long production that you can afford to stomach the tough matchup here -- both his floor and upside remain among the best available.
