Daily Fantasy Basketball Game Scripts to Target on 1/31/17
The Wizards have the third-highest implied team total on Tuesday's NBA DFS slate. What does that mean for Bradley Beal's outlook?

DeMarcus Cousins, C, Sacramento Kings

FanDuel Price: $11,400

DeMarcus Cousins continued his reign of terror against the Philadelphia 76ers yesterday, with his fourth game of at least 60 FanDuel points in his last six. His average sits at 59.6 FanDuel points during that stretch, a number that seems sustainable when examining his splits in contests with similar game scripts this season.

Thanks to a huge decrease in pace of play this season, the Kings haven't played in nearly as many shootouts as last year. In fact, Cousins has played in just two games with an over/under above 220 this season. In games with an over/under of 215 or above, though, his average sits at 56.1 FanDuel points, up from 47.6 in all other games.

The Kings also have the eighth-highest implied team total on the slate (106.75 points). In 23 games that Cousins has played in with an implied team total of at least 105 points this season, he has averaged 50.8 FanDuel points.

In addition to a beautiful game script, Cousins gets to face off against a Rockets defense that has allowed more points in the post than any team this season. Everything is pointing up for the Boogie Man in this one, and he is very likely to keep his recent hot streak going.
