Giannis Antetokounmpo-Milwaukee Bucks (9,700): Antetokounmpo only had 14 points in 40 minutes last night against the Sixers but still totaled 50.75 fantasy points since he had nine rebounds, seven assists, five blocks, and three steals.  He produces in such a wide spectrum of categories that he is low-risk for a total bust especially since he has been playing big minutes and has at least 49 fantasy points in each of his last five contests. The Bucks have a winnable game tonight in Orlando and will look to make it back-to-back victories as they face the banged-up Magic tonight.∗∗∗∗

LeBron James-Cleveland Cavaliers (9,600): The Cavs close out their home schedule with a pair of games against the Hawks and Pistons this week before starting their run as the #1 seed in the Eastern Conference. Since the Hawks could be a playoff opponent in the later rounds, its unclear if the Cavs will rest their starters or let them play tonight, but LeBron has been playing well when he has been active lately including hanging 71 fantasy points on the Hawks a week and a half ago in Atlanta.  James has at least 48 fantasy points in seven of his last nine games active with three games over 60 fantasy points. Tonight, if he gets his usual minutes, he’ll be a good option to spend on.  ∗∗∗

Gordon Hayward-Utah Jazz (7,000): If you want to go with a player whose team has everything to play for, Hayward deserves a long look as he and the Jazz host the Mavericks in an important game for both squads tonight in Salt Lake City.  Hayward has 49.25 fantasy points and 47.75 fantasy points in his last two games and over 34 fantasy points in four of his last five.  He won’t have to deal with Chandler Parsons tonight when the Mavs come to town and should have the advantage against whoever the Mavericks send to guard him.  If the Jazz can pull off the win tonight, they’ll have a chance of avoiding the Warriors in the first round if they can get out of the eighth seed in the Western Conference. ∗∗∗
