3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 2/27/19

Giannis Antetokounmpo, SF/PF, Milwaukee Bucks

DraftKings Price: $11,000

There are quite a few stud plays worth considering on this big eleven-game slate. James Harden is worth a look in what should actually be a competitive game for the Houston Rockets against the Charlotte Hornets. So, too, is LeBron James as the Los Angeles Lakers look to be in a fantasy bonanza against the New Orleans Pelicans, against whom he just put up 64.75 DratKings points on Saturday.

For my money, however, all eyes should be on Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo. In most years, what Giannis is doing could be a lock for MVP. Unfortunately for his hardware collection, 27.2 points, 12.7 boards, and 6.0 assists per game are likely going to take a back-burner to The Bearded One's 36.3 points per game.

He'll have to settle for destroying opponents and making his fantasy owners happy, which should happen tonight when the Bucks travel to northern California to take on the Sacramento Kings. Giannis' history against the Kings is as solid as you'd imagine. He's scored 65.0 or more DraftKings points in three of his past four against them, scoring 57.25 in the other (yeah, I know, a real downer).

Our models see him continuing his success against them tonight; we project him to score 58.2 DraftKings points in a game with a total set at a huge 234.0 points.
