Daily Fantasy Basketball Game Scripts to Target on 2/8/17

Marc Gasol, C, Memphis Grizzlies

FanDuel Price: $8,600

Marc Gasol and the Memphis Grizzlies draw one of the most favorable matchups on the slate by taking on the Phoenix Suns, who have allowed the second-most points per game this season. As a result, Memphis has an implied team total of 110, which is 9.3 points higher than their season scoring average and the sixth-highest total on the slate.

They're listed as 10-point home favorites, which is slightly concerning, but the upside with such a high implied team total more than makes up for it.

According to the RotoViz Game Splits App, Gasol has played in just three games with an implied team total this high during the season, but Gasol has averaged 38.9 FanDuel points when the Grizzlies are projected to score triple digits, as opposed to 32.1 in all others.

Similarly, he's only played in a handful of games with an over/under this high (210), so we'll use games with an over/under above 205 as our split. In 11 such games this season, he has averaged 38.3 FanDuel points.

Against a Phoenix team allowing the third-most FanDuel points to opposing centers and a beautiful game script at his disposal, Gasol profiles as one of the top centers on a loaded 12-game slate. The only real concern is that this game turns into a blowout and he sees limited minutes.
