Giannis Antetokounmpo, SF/PF, Milwaukee Bucks

DraftKings Price: $11,200

When it comes to piling up the fantasy points, Giannis Antetokounmpo doesn't need any help. He's averaging 57.4 DraftKings points on the year, 57.6 in the last 10 and a cool 64.2 over the last five. The Milwaukee Bucks star has seen his usage rate increase to 33.9% over the last five, up from 30.9% for the year.

Giannis has been more productive at home this season, too. While averaging 56.3 DraftKings points on the road, he has put up 58.5 in Milwaukee behind a higher usage rate (31.7%) and assist rate (30.7%).

As for that help, tonight it comes in the form of the Los Angeles Clippers and their 23rd-ranked scoring defense (113.5 points allowed per game). That and their 102.49 pace give the Bucks the night's highest implied total at 120.75 points. A nine-point spread bodes well for a close game, which should bring out full Giannis for 30-plus minutes.

Our models have the Greek Freak as Thursday's top projected scorer. His 58.4 DraftKings points would end the night three clear of the next-closest player.
