Daily Fantasy Basketball Game Scripts to Target on 3/27/17

Kawhi Leonard, SF, San Antonio Spurs

FanDuel Price: $9,100

After a brief dry spell, Kawhi Leonard returned to his elite level of production by putting up 46.5 FanDuel points in his last game. He'll look to build on that tonight, as he and the San Antonio Spurs have the highest projected implied team total (108.25 points) and the highest over/under (211.5 points) on the slate as they take on the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Leonard has played much better in positive game scripts such as this, according to the RotoViz Game Splits App. In games with an implied team total of at least 105 points this season, Leonard has averaged 43.1 FanDuel points, as opposed to 36.4 in all other games. With an over/under of at least 210 points, that average has jumped to 45.5 FanDuel points.

He also should benefit from a matchup against the Cavs, who have struggled against small forwards this season. Only three teams on this slate have allowed more FanDuel points to opposing small forwards than Cleveland. A matchup against LeBron James is one we have seen Leonard get up for in his career, with the most recent example being his 53.7-FanDuel-point performance against Cleveland earlier this season.

All things point towards a big game from Leonard, and he is one of the few plays that stand out among a slate full of slow-paced teams and depressed implied team totals. He is a terrific play regardless of format.
