Daily Fantasy Basketball Game Scripts to Target on 1/30/17

Brook Lopez, C, Brooklyn Nets

FanDuel Price: $7,500

Brook Lopez and the Brooklyn Nets draw a rematch against the Miami Heat, to whom they suffered a three-point loss just five days ago in Brooklyn. Tonight's matchup will take place in Miami, and as a result, the Heat are currently listed as nine-point favorites. As it stands right now, the game's 217.5 point over/under is the highest on the slate.

Lopez has performed much better in games the Nets have kept to a single-digit deficit, so if the nine-point spread holds up, he has a very good chance of hitting value. Let's further examine how he has performed in game scripts similar to today's, though.

In games played with at least a 215 point over/under this season, Lopez has averaged 33.3 FanDuel points, as opposed to 31 in all other games. He's also played better in games that have had a spread of nine points or fewer this season, averaging six more FanDuel points than in other games.

If game script holds up in this one and the Nets can keep the game within striking distance, Lopez should be allowed to play a full allotment of minutes in a matchup that he dominated last time out (40.3 FanDuel points).
