Daily Fantasy Basketball Game Scripts to Target on 3/13/17
Nikola Jokic, PF, Denver Nuggets
FanDuel Price: $10,000
Tonight's slate of games is gross -- it features 12 of the 15 slowest teams are on this slate, including all six of the lowest-paced teams. So, when there is a potential fantasy goldmine such as the Denver Nuggets-Los Angeles Lakers game amid a slate full of low over/unders, you need to load up.
The 230.5-point over/under in this one is the largest on the slate by 16 points, while Denver's implied team total of 122 points is 11 points higher than their season scoring average and 14.5 points higher than the next-highest total. Nikola Jokic is easily the best player in this game and just happens to play for the team with the exorbitant implied total.
According to the RotoViz Game Splits App, Jokic has played much better in similar game scripts this season. When there's an implied team total of over 115 points, he has averaged 52.5 FanDuel points, as opposed to 30.3 in all other games. With an over/under above 225 points, his average sits at 51.1 FanDuel points.
He should feast on a Los Angeles team ranked second-to-last in defensive efficiency, 21st in rebounding rate, and 29th in FanDuel points allowed to centers. Jokic is an excellent play in all formats.
