Daily Fantasy Basketball Game Scripts to Target on 3/6/17
Kawhi Leonard, SF, San Antonio Spurs
FanDuel Price: $9,200
Kawhi Leonard has been on an absolute tear over his past three games, averaging 56.6 FanDuel points. That now gives him 50-plus FanDuel points in five of his past eight games.
He'll look to access that 50-plus FanDuel point upside again tonight in what should be a high-scoring game against the Houston Rockets. The San Antonio Spurs are 3.5-point favorites in the game with the highest over/under on the slate, and their 112.25-point implied team total is nearly six points above their season scoring average.
Leonard hasn't played in any games with an over/under this high this season, but in 15 games with an over/under above 210 points, he has has averaged 45 FanDuel points, as opposed to 38 in all other games. In games San Antonio has had an implied team total of at least 110 points, he has averaged 46.2 FanDuel points.
Houston has been average against opposing small forwards, allowing the 11th-most FanDuel points to the position, but the up-tempo nature of this game should be enough for Leonard to put up huge numbers. Last time the Rockets visited San Antonio, Leonard put up 47.9 FanDuel points and it wouldn't be a surprise to see a repeat performance tonight.
