Daily Fantasy Basketball Game Scripts to Target on 2/6/17
The New Orleans Pelicans have the highest implied team total on Monday's NBA DFS slate in what should be an up-tempo matchup against the Phoenix Suns. What does that mean for Jrue Holiday's outlook?

Marcus Morris, SF, Detroit Pistons

FanDuel Price: $5,500

With Andre Drummond and Reggie Jackson slacking a bit on the offensive end recently, it has been Marcus Morris picking up the slack by averaging 27.5 points (40.7 FanDuel points) over his past two games. He'll look to remain hot in tonight's matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers, where the Detroit Pistons are projected for 111.25 points.

In addition to being the second-highest implied team total, is the largest increase in their scoring average any team is expected to see tonight.

A look at the RotoViz Game Splits App shows that no Pistons player has benefited more from positive game scripts than Morris. In games with an over/under of at least 210 over the past two seasons, he's averaged 26.8 FanDuel points, as opposed to 23.6 in all others. With an implied team total of at least 110, his average has jumped to 28.3.

At his current price, it shouldn't be hard for Morris to at least hit value in a high-scoring game against Philly. However, if he is forced to take on a larger role on offense again, he has the potential to absolutely crush value in this positive game script.
