Daily Fantasy Basketball Game Scripts to Target on 3/2/17
The Oklahoma City Thunder are projected to outscore their season average by nearly four points tonight against the Portland Trail Blazers. A look at Russell Westbrook's splits suggests he should thrive in this spot.

Draymond Green, PF, Golden State Warriors

FanDuel Price: $8,300

After quite the offensive cold streak, Draymond Green has responded with back-to-back games of over 37 minutes, 14 points, and 43 FanDuel points. He really took control of the offense with Kevin Durant going down early in the game, accounting for 14 of the team's 28 assists.

He should be a focal point of the offense once again with Durant out for the foreseeable future, in the game with the highest over/under on the slate (220 points). The Golden State Warriors also have the highest implied team total (113.75 points) and are 7.5-point road favorites against the Chicago Bulls.

Green has played much better in projected shootouts this season, averaging 37.5 FanDuel points with an over/under of at least 220 points, as opposed to 33.5 in all other games.

While Chicago has been decent against opposing power forwards, most of those numbers were accumulated while Taj Gibson was still on the roster. Gibson is one of the better defensive power forwards in the league, ranking 13th in DRPM at the position. He has been replaced in the starting lineup by the inexperienced Bobby Portis, who ranks 85th.

Everything is pointing up for Green in this game, and he is clearly the top power forward option on a small slate. He's a viable play in all formats given the advantageous game script and matchup.
