Daily Fantasy Basketball Game Scripts to Target on 3/22/17
An expected high-scoring affair against Cleveland should benefit Nikola Jokic. What other game scripts should you target?

Victor Oladipo, SG, Oklahoma City Thunder

FanDuel Price: $6,100

Victor Oladipo has been hit or miss most the year for fantasy owners. However, in the last six games, he has been on target as the Oklahoma City Thunder guard has posted five games with 30 or more FanDuel points.

The key has been the accuracy of Oladipo's shooting. While the 24-year-old is shooting a career-high 45.3% on the year, in the last two weeks, he has been dropping shots at a 48.9% rate, including 60.0% from beyond the arc. That has led to an average of 18.7 actual points and 28.7 FanDuel points per game over those two weeks.

Dipo will look to continue his hot-shooting ways on Wednesday as the Philadelphia 76ers come to town for what Vegas has pegged as the night's second-highest-scoring affair.

The over/under for the game is 218, with the Thunder favored by 11 points. That gives them an implied total of 214.5; only the Cleveland Cavaliers are projected for more. With that many points to go around, Oladipo could feast. In the 18 games the shooting guard has played with a similar game script, he has scored 2.0 more fantasy points per night compared to his overall average.

Besides the bonus of a high-scoring affair, Oladipo should benefit from facing one of the league's worst defenses against two-guards this season. The Sixers are the second-best defense-versus-position matchup on tonight's slate for shooting guards, meaning there will be plenty of opportunities to rack up the points for Oladipo -- who coincidentally has scored 18.5 actual points per game in 10 career games versus Philly.
