Giannis Antetokounmpo posted 29 points, 15 rebounds, 11 assists, one block and two threes on 12-of-23 shooting and 3-of-7 from the line over 39 minutes as a starter in Miami's 113-109 home loss to Dallas on Monday, October 26. The five turnovers were the only blemish in a line that covered three double-digit categories.

The triple-double represents typical production for Antetokounmpo, who averaged 27.6 points, 9.8 rebounds and 5.4 assists over his previous 36 games last season. At a usage rate of 36.9 per cent and 61.4 per cent true shooting this season, he remains a pillar in both nine-category leagues and points formats, where he projects to 48.9 fantasy points a game.

Giannis Antetokounmpo

Antetokounmpo's 39 minutes marked a season high, 7.4 more than his average through four outings, and the triple-double showcased his multi-category reach. Over last season he contributed 0.9 steals, 0.7 blocks and 0.4 threes per game alongside his scoring and playmaking, making him a top-25 asset despite modest defensive numbers and free-throw percentage (65.0 per cent last season). His 61.4 per cent true shooting this year keeps his efficiency strong, though the 3-of-7 mark from the line Monday was a reminder of his one nine-category weakness.

Miami have one game left this week, also on Monday, with no back-to-back in sight. Antetokounmpo remains entrenched as a starter (100 per cent this season) and a high-volume creator, averaging 28.5 points, 9.8 rebounds and 5.0 assists in 31.6 minutes per contest through four games including this one. His heliocentric role and elite usage ensure he will deliver fantasy value night after night.

What to do

• Start Antetokounmpo in all formats for Miami's final game this week on Monday.

• Expect Antetokounmpo to contribute across the stat sheet in both nine-category and points leagues, though his free-throw percentage remains a drag in roto formats.

• Hold Antetokounmpo as a top-25 asset in nine-category leagues and a player projecting to 48.9 fantasy points per game.
