3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 4/4/19

Giannis Antetokounmpo, SF, Milwaukee Bucks

The Milwaukee Bucks can't quite coast to a 1-seed finish in the Eastern Conference just yet, so they're continuing to give their starters plenty of run. The Philadelphia 76ers are playing to hold onto the number-three spot, so with both teams expected to put forth some effort, this game has a tight 2.5-point spread while none of the other games on the slate are implied to finish with a margin of victory of fewer than nine points (as of Thursday morning).

The high blowout potential in the other games makes it a lot safer to pay up for a stud in the Sixers-Bucks clash, since you're not running as much of a risk that a player's minutes getting cut short.

Giannis Antetokounmpo has seen a decreased workload lately, averaging only 30.9 minutes per game over his last five, but there are two main reasons I'm not concerned about that.

All five of those games were decided by at least 10 points, and twice he failed to crack even five fourth-quarter minutes. The other thing is, with minutes being up in the air for all of this slate's studs, Giannis' efficiency gives him an edge as his 1.70 FanDuel points per minute on the year are second only to Anthony Davis.

The Sixers aren't a gimme matchup, but with this one expected to be close, Giannis should deliver a big outing.
