Daily Fantasy Basketball Game Scripts to Target on 1/20/17
Kevin Durant, SF, Golden State Warriors
FanDuel Price: $10,500
The fantasy goodness is certainly not restricted to Harden and the Rockets, as there are plenty of appealing options to target on the other side of the ball as well. The Warriors have an implied team total of 120.5 points tonight, which is easily the largest on the slate.
Below is a chart breaking down Golden State's "big four" in situations similar to this. As you can see, the biggest beneficiaries of similar game scripts have been Kevin Durant and Draymond Green. Durant's numbers are representative of this season only.
| Name | 15-16 FD Pts | vs HOU | 120+ Implied Total | 225+ O/U |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stephen Curry | 45 | 47 | 43.5 | 44.7 |
| Klay Thompson | 30.4 | 25.1 | 29.3 | 31.1 |
| Kevin Durant | 46.9 | 68.2 | 51.5 | 48.4 |
| Draymond Green | 38 | 41 | 39.9 | 40.5 |
Durant has seen his FanDuel average balloon to above 50 points in the 10 games he has played in with an implied team total of over 120 points, and if you reduce that to the six games he's played in with a 120-plus point team total and a 230-plus over/under, his average has jumped to 52.9 FanDuel points.
Durant has topped 50 FanDuel points in four of his past seven games, a stretch during which he has averaged 50.1 FanDuel points. It would be surprising if he didn't top 50 FanDuel points in tonight's shootout against the Rockets.
