3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 3/19/18

Giannis Antetokounmpo, SF, Milwaukee Bucks

Price: $12,500

A slightly cheaper way to pay up on the other side of that Bucks-Cavs game, Giannis Antetokounmpo has been posting some huge numbers of his own lately.

He's the only player averaging more minutes per game (38.1) than LeBron since the All-Star Break, and he has notched marks of 67.5 and 73.9 FanDuel points in his last two outings. That gives him three games with at least 70 FanDuel points across his last 13 -- the second-most in the NBA in that stretch.

Cleveland also makes for an appealing matchup -- especially while they're as thin as they are tonight. They rank only 19th in rebound rate since the break, and if Love joins Nance and Tristan Thompson on the bench tonight, they'll be without three of their four players who have managed rebound rates of at least 14% on the season. They also rank a middling 15th in defensive rating since the break, but their defensive rating with Nance off the court has been nearly 7 points worse than when Nance is on.

Giannis is a much more volatile producer than LeBron, and if you're paying up in cash, then you're better served biting the bullet and dropping the extra $600 for the King, but in tournaments, Giannis makes for a very strong alternative.
