Power Play
Giannis Antetokounmpo has been playing well recently. He’s averaging 28.0 points, 13.8 rebounds, 7.4 assists, 1.0 block, and 1.4 steals (59.5 fantasy points) in 30.5 minutes per game over the last 10 days. Antetokounmpo gets an elite matchup against the Atlanta Hawks. They currently rank eighth in the NBA in pace, while ranking only 28th in the league in defensive rating. Antetokounmpo will benefit from the pace, giving him extra opportunities to add peripheral stats. He comes with triple-double potential on a nightly basis, as well. Antetokounmpo will also see added usage with Eric Bledsoe injured, and the former is a player that comes with 70+ fantasy point upside in this matchup.
John Collins returned from his suspension in the Atlanta Hawks last game. He scored 27 points with 10 rebounds, 2 blocks, and 2 steals (51 fantasy points) in 34 minutes. Collins saw 20 shot attempts in that game, and he’ll continue to be the second option in the Atlanta offense. He gets a plus matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks, who lead the NBA in pace. While they boast an outstanding defense, Collins will see extra opportunities for fantasy points. He’s a player that flashed plenty of upside prior to his suspension, and this total is a bit low for his talent and matchup.
