Daily Fantasy Basketball Game Scripts to Target on 2/7/17
Nicolas Batum, SG, Charlotte Hornets
FanDuel Price: $7,400
Nicolas Batum finds himself in a spot very similar to Harden, with his Charlotte Hornets projected for 114.75 points against the Brooklyn Nets, in a game that might be a blowout, as evidenced by the 10.5-point spread. The over/under is also set for 219.
In games with an over/under of at least 215 points this season, Batum has averaged 35 FanDuel points, up from 32.7 in all other games. If expanding the range for a larger sample size, that number has remained consistent, with a 34.6-FanDuel-point average with an over/under above 210.
In games with an implied team total of at least 110 points, Batum has averaged 37.3 FanDuel points. If you expand that to last year's games, he has averaged 37.7 in such games.
The potential for a blowout is something to keep in mind, but given his splits in spots like this and his matchup against the Nets (second-most FanDuel points allowed to shooting guards), Batum seems like a steal at just $7,400. Just cross your fingers that Brooklyn can keep this one close.
