Top 4 Small Forwards

  1. Giannis Antetokounmpo ($11,000) vs. Philadelphia 76ers
  2. Otto Porter Jr. ($7,500) vs. Indiana Pacers
  3. Allen Crabbe ($5,400) vs. L.A. Clippers
  4. Robert Covington ($5,300) vs. Milwaukee Bucks

Rationale:

  • The most important commodity Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo brings is opportunity. Milwaukee has kept Antetokounmpo on the court for an average of 37.2 minutes per game this season, the highest mark in the NBA, allowing him to post 27.2 points, 10.2 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.4 blocks per game. The last time Antetokounmpo played the Philadelphia 76ers, he posted 31 points, 18 rebounds and six assists, resulting in 60.6 fantasy points in FanDuel NBA leagues.
  • The Brooklyn Nets have forced Allen Crabbe to become one of the featured players in the offense over the past three games, with positive results. Crabbe has submitted two games with 20 or more points in the three-game stretch, averaging 18 points and launching 44 shots, increasing his field goal attempts to 11.1 per game on the year. The 3-point shot is the catalyst for the offensive outburst from Crabbe, as he has connected a total of 10 times from 3-point range in the three-game run.
