Daily Fantasy Basketball Game Scripts to Target on 1/30/17
Mike Conley, PG, Memphis Grizzlies
FanDuel Price: $7,500
Gasol isn't the only member of the Grizzlies playing excellent basketball right now. Mike Conley has averaged 35.7 FanDuel points in the month of January, and he has displayed big upside at times, with 6 of his 13 games resulting in 38 or more FanDuel points.
Similar to Gasol, Conley has seen his numbers improve on the rare occasion that Memphis gets to play in a higher-scoring atmosphere. In games played with an implied team total of over 100 points this season, Conley has averaged 35.3 FanDuel points, as opposed to 29.4 in all other games.
Considering they rank 28th in pace of play, it should come as no surprise that Memphis hasn't scored many points in transition this season, ranking 27th. When they are forced to push the pace, it has been Conley who has led the charge, easily leading the team in transition points. As such, he should find success tonight against Phoenix, who has played at the third-fastest pace in the league and allowed the highest effective field goal percentage in transition this season.
Our projections love Conley tonight, too, listing him as the best value of any point guard over $4,000. Given the game script in what should be an uptempo, high-scoring affair against the Suns, he is an excellent play at his price tag.
