Daily Fantasy Basketball Game Scripts to Target on 1/4/17

Giannis Antetokounmpo, SG, Milwaukee Bucks

FanDuel Price: $10,500

Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks are projected for 106.8 points against the New York Knicks, which is the second-highest implied team total on the slate. Unlike the Golden State Warriors, who have the highest implied team total, this game is expected to be very competitive, with Milwaukee favored by just 1.5 points.

As the table below displays, no Bucks player has seen a bigger boost when playing in game script similar to this than the Greek Freak over the past two seasons.

The "In Split" displayed on the chart is games the Bucks played with over a 106.8-point implied team total while "Out of Split" displays all other games. The data was pulled from the RotoViz Game Splits App.

Player In Split Out of Split
Giannis Antetokounmpo 45.5 36.2
Jabari Parker 30.8 24.3
Greg Monroe 28.8 29.2
John Henson 19.8 16.1


Antetokounmpo has seen a jump of nearly 10 FanDuel points in his average in said games, and if you break it down to those played this season, his average jumps to 50.3 FanDuel points. In an individual matchup against Derrick Rose, who ranks 71st among 86 qualified points guards in defensive real plus-minus, and with game script working in his favor, Antetokounmpo is easily one of the best plays on the slate.
