3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 12/13/17

Giannis Antetokounmpo, SF, Milwaukee Bucks

Price: $12,100

The player averaging the most FanDuel points per game this season is Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is averaging 56.1 while also playing the most minutes per game (37.5) in the NBA.

Nobody posts the kind of well-rounded production that Giannis does on a nightly basis, with 29.8 points, 10.4 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.6 blocks per game. That puts him second in points, 11th in rebounds, and first in combined steals and blocks per game.

Combining his ability to fill every area of the box score with his huge playing time has given him a phenomenal floor for fantasy scoring, and he still offers plenty of upside as well. He has not posted fewer than 40 FanDuel points even once this season, going below 50 only six times. His 18 games with 50-plus rank second in the NBA, as do his 8 games with 60-plus.

Opponents' numbers allowed to specific positions don't mean quite as much with a player like Antetokounmpo, since he is basically position-less, but the New Orleans Pelicans allow strong fantasy production to opponents at a variety of spots, allowing top-10 FanDuel points per game to the one through four spots.
