Nothing is out of the realm of possibilities for Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo, which is exactly why he should be included in every FanDuel NBA lineup.

Off nights from Giannis Antetokounmpo are perhaps the rarest element of his game.

The 6-foot-11 guard is pulling off one of the most spectacular feats during a season littered with amazing accomplishments. Antetokounmpo is leading Milwaukee in every major statistical category.

In his fourth season, Antetokounmpo is one of just two players, along with Draymond Green, averaging a least 1.5 blocks and 1.5 steals per game this season.

As dominant as Antetokounmpo has been defensively, his ability to create easy shot attempts for teammates and himself has made the 22-year-old a premier prospect in FanDuel NBA play.

The Bucks are placing the ball in his hands for 4.8 minutes a game, more than anyone else on the team, and with good reason.

The 15th overall pick of the 2013 NBA Draft is averaging 23.2 points, 8.6 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.7 steals per game. For good measure, Antetokounmpo is connecting on 52.5 percent of his attempts from the field, just 0.6 percent away from the team lead.

Antetokounmpo has made converting at such a high rate look simplistic, as he can sprint down the court in less than two dribbles and take off from seemingly anywhere and be within range for a dunk.

The rim has been rocked by Antetokounmpo 124 times this season, fourth most in the league, propping up his shooting average to 57.3 percent on attempts inside of the 3-point arc.

Only Monday against Detroit, Antetokounmpo found the bottom of the net just twice on nine attempts from the field, leading to a quiet of eight points, six assists, four rebounds, a block and a steal.

The quite figures still managed to produce 24.8 fantasy points in FanDuel NBA tournament play, just the third time in his last 20 appearances he has failed to reach 30 fantasy points.

Antetokoumpo has been held below 15 points on just six occasions this season, but has responded by averaging 23.4 points in his next outing.

Milwaukee closes out its season series with the Nets Wednesday night, a team it has already defeated three times this year.

Brooklyn is surrendering a league-high 113.9 points per game and has allowed Antetokounmpo to post averages of 20 points, 9.3 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game in the previous three meetings.

Following a rough outing against the Pistons, Antetokounmpo could light up the Nets Wednesday night, leading to a phenomenal performance in FanDuel NBA league play.
