Giannis Antetokounmpo's 2023 NBA fantasy basketball projections

Giannis Antetokounmpo is a very good NBA fantasy basketball choice. CBS Sports projects Antetokounmpo to average 49.4 fantasy points per game this season and a total of 3,796 points in the 2023 campaign.

It would be an uptick from his 3,276 points last season in 63 games. He averaged 52 fantasy points per game, however, CBS Sports projects Antetokounmpo to play 77 games this season with the new star-player resting rules.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is a certified first-round pick no matter what kind of league you play in. He is an efficient scorer and will also help in steals, rebounds, assists and block categories.

Antetokounmpo should see plenty of usage even with Lillard’s added scoring. He will likely face fewer double teams as defenses must spread out to account for the dynamic two plus Khris Middleton in the midrange and Brook Lopez on the wings and down low.

As such, Giannis Antetokounmpo is a very safe choice this season.
