Daily Fantasy Basketball Game Scripts to Target on 2/23/17

Nikola Jokic, PF, Denver Nuggets

FanDuel Price: $10,900

Nikola Jokic came into the All-Star break on fire, averaging 53.2 FanDuel points over his final four games prior to the hiatus. The Denver Nuggets' offense should continue to run through Jokic as they take on the Sacramento Kings tonight, a game in which they are projected for 113.75 points. That is nearly three points above their season scoring average and is the fourth-highest implied team total on the slate.

According to the RotoViz Game Splits App, Jokic has played much better in favorable game scripts this season. He's averaged 38.5 FanDuel points in games with an implied team total of at least 112 points, as opposed to 29.1 FanDuel points in all other games. All four of his games during his recent hot streak came in game scripts with an implied team total above 112.

Against a Sacramento team ranked 24th in defensive efficiency that, without DeMarcus Cousins, will be forcing inexperienced players into heavy minutes in the frontcourt, Jokic should have no trouble continuing the dominance he displayed prior to the All-Star break. He is a viable play in all formats tonight.
