Daily Fantasy Basketball Game Scripts to Target on 2/16/17

Paul George, SF, Indiana Pacers

FanDuel Price: $8,600

Paul George hasn't looked quite like himself recently, but tonight's game script should help turn things around. The Indiana Pacers host the Washington Wizards tonight, in what is expected to be the higher scoring of the two games on tonight's slate. The over/under is set at 216 points, and Indiana's implied team total sits at 106.75 points.

Per the RotoViz Game Splits App, George has played significantly better in expected shootouts this season, averaging 40.2 FanDuel points when there's an over/under above 212 points, as opposed to 33.3 in all other games. With an implied team total of at least 105 points, he has averaged 37.3 FanDuel points.

George also has the best matchup of any small forward on this slate, as the Wizards have allowed more FanDuel points to small forwards than any of the other four teams. In five meetings with them over the last two seasons, he has averaged 45.3 FanDuel points.

If the game script holds up and it is a competitive, high-scoring game, George should be a big part of it. It would be surprising to see him not bust out of his slump given his production in similar spots this season.
