Giannis Antetokounmpo, PF, Milwaukee Bucks
Antetokounmpo naturally has what it takes to contribute more than a third of this fantasy-point goal, considering he’s scored between 50.4 and 72.4 MKF points in the last eight games alone, and he’s eclipsed 50 in 22 of 31 games overall this season. Antetokounmpo also went off for 66.7 against this same Pelicans squad the first time the two teams met on January 29 and is averaging a whopping 63.6 MKF points per 36 minutes without sidelined teammate Jrue Holiday (COVID-19 protocol) on the floor.
Zion Williamson, PF, New Orleans Pelicans
Williamson has turned into an elite fantasy force in his first full season, averaging 25.1 points (61.6 percent shooting), 6.8 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.0 steal across 32.8 minutes through 29 games. The big man has scored 20 more actual points in nine straight games, a stretch during which he’s averaging 28.7 points, 5.7 rebounds and 4.3 assists while coming just short of a steal per game (0.9). Those numbers equate to an average of 44.2 MKF points, and it’s also worth noting Williamson garnered 46.3 against the Bucks in the first meeting.
Brandon Ingram, SF, New Orleans Pelicans
Ingram has been a consistent fantasy producer throughout the season courtesy of the 23.9 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.7 assists he’s averaging, as well as his career-best figures of 88.2 percent and 39.4 percent from the free-throw line and three-point range, respectively. The one-time second overall pick of the Lakers put up a solid 39.0 MKF points against the Bucks in the first meeting and comes into Thursday having eclipsed 40 MKF points in four of the last six contests. Milwaukee has also been relatively generous to Ingram’s small forward position, yielding 43.2 MKF points per game to the position on the season.
