Giannis Antetokounmpo, SF, Milwaukee Bucks

Price: $11,700

We've seen Giannis Antetokounmpo increase his per-game fantasy output with each season he has been in the NBA. He started all the way down at 18.2 per game as a rookie in the 2013-14 season, and when he hit 51.7 last year (6th in the NBA), it looked like he might not have a ton of room to keep improving.

He has quickly dispelled that notion to start the 2018-19 season, though, beating last year's average in each of his first three games, with scores of 53.6, 54.5 and 58.0 FanDuel points.

His 38.6% usage rate is the highest mark among anyone who has played even 5 minutes this season, and both his total rebound rate (23.2%) and assist rate (28.0%) are on pace to be career-highs.

Tonight he's up against a Philadelphia 76ers team that is not only on the second half of a back-to-back, but that also went to overtime on Monday, putting him in a good spot to keep rolling.
