Best of the Best

Giannis Antetokounmpo (FanDuel Price: $11,300) - The first two games of Antetokounmpo's season have been near perfection. The Milwaukee Bucks' forward has posted consecutive games of at least 60 FanDuel points as he is averaging 35.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 3.0 steals per game. The Greek Freak has started to come into his own offensively and is controlling the Bucks' offense, owning a 36.4% usage rate and 31.4% assist rate. Even on those nights his shots don't fall, his ability to rack up steals and blocks -- combined 3.5 per game so far this year -- helps give him a high floor. That shouldn't be a concern tonight, though, as he faces a Portland Trail Blazers team that allowed the sixth-most points per game (108.5) last season.
