Daily Fantasy Basketball Game Scripts to Target on 2/15/17

Eric Bledsoe, PG, Phoenix Suns

FanDuel Price: $8,800

The Phoenix Suns host the Los Angeles Lakers in what should be the fastest-paced game on the slate, as both teams rank in the top seven in that department. Both teams rank in the bottom four in defensive efficiency as well as points allowed per game. Their two previous meetings have yielded an average point total of 230.5, which makes tonight's over/under of 225 points actually seem somewhat conservative.

As a member of the Suns, Eric Bledsoe is no stranger to shootouts, and has posted discernibly stronger numbers when playing in them. He has averaged 42.8 FanDuel points when the Suns have had an implied team total of at least 112 points this season, as opposed to 33.9 in all other games. That average has climbed to 43.8 when playing with an over/under above 220 points.

Bledsoe also should benefit from Los Angeles' inability to defend point guards, as the Lakers have allowed the fifth-most FanDuel points to the position. Los Angeles allowed 55.3 FanDuel points to the explosive point guard the last time they met, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him match that total tonight.
