Daily Fantasy Basketball Game Scripts to Target on 3/20/17

DeAndre Jordan, C, Los Angeles Clippers

FanDuel Price: $7,600

There is no doubt about DeAndre Jordan's rebounding and defensive ability -- he is averaging 13.6 boards and 1.7 blocks per, both top-10 ranks in the NBA. However, since the All-Star break, Jordan has also boosted his scoring, reaching double-digit points in 11 of 13 games while averaging 14.4 points.

The added offensive element has helped his fantasy game, as Jordan has posted five performances with at least 33 FanDuel points in his last seven games, and he's averaging 34.9 fantasy points since the break. The Los Angeles Clippers' matchup on Monday with the New York Knicks puts Jordan in a prime position to continue his rise.

Overall, the Knicks allow 108.6 points per game, sixth-most in the NBA. Their poor defense has pushed the spread to 10.5 points in the Clippers' favor while giving them. an implied total of 114.0. In the six games with a similar game script Jordan has played in this year, he has averaged 38.1 FanDuel points -- a 5.5-point boost over his other 60-plus games played.

Also in Jordan's favor is New York's inability to slow down opposing big men -- they allow the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing centers. Part of that has to do with with their league-worst defensive rebounding rate of 74.1%, which has led to opponents scoring a league-high 14.8 second-chance points per game.
