Daily Fantasy Basketball Game Scripts to Target on 1/25/17
The matchup between the Boston Celtics and Houston Rockets has the highest over/under on the slate, putting James Harden in a great spot.

Julius Randle, PF, Los Aneles Lakers

FanDuel Price: $6,500

Julius Randle has really struggled over the last couple weeks, and he has seen a sharp price decrease as a result. If ever there was a spot for a bounceback though, it is tonight against the Portland Trail Blazers. The Blazers have really struggled against bigs this season, allowing the seventh-most FanDuel points to power forwards and the fifth-most to centers.

In addition to an awesome matchup, Randle should benefit from the high-scoring nature of this game. The Los Angeles Lakers are projected for 105.25 points against Portland in a game that has the third-highest over/under (220 points) on the slate. Randle has performed quite well in similar situations over the past two seasons.

In games with this high of an over/under, Randle has seen his FanDuel average rise from 27 points per game to 32.8. In games the Lakers have had an implied team total above 105 points, Randle has averaged 28.5 FanDuel points.

While it may be hard to trust Randle given his recent struggles, both matchup and game script are strongly in his favor tonight. This may be the perfect opportunity to buy low on his price and ownership percentage.
