3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 3/15/19
Even against the stingy Heat, Giannis Antetokounmpo makes for an elite play. Which other players are worth paying up for on Thursday's slate?

DraftKings Price: $10,900

Milwaukee Bucks small forward (let's be real, he could play any position) Giannis Antetokounmpo might not win the MVP this season, but regardless of his award status, Giannis' sixth season in the league has been nothing short of phenomenal.

Despite averaging his fewest minutes since his second season, Giannis is putting up career bests in points (27.0), rebounds (12.6, which is 2.6 more than his previous career best), assists (5.9), and shooting percentage (57.9%).

Tonight, he and his Bucks teammates will take on a familar foe in the Miami Heat. They've been a harder team for him to crack than others. In fact, he's topped 50.0 DraftKings points just once in his career against them. It didn't even happen last game (49.0 DraftKings points) despite finishing with a triple-double.

Our models see him getting on the right side of 50.0 for the second time tonight. We project him to finish with 27.1 points, 11.7 boards, 5.9 assists, and 56.4 DraftKings points in a game that we project to go down to the wire.
