Daily Fantasy Basketball Game Scripts to Target on 1/10/17

D'Angelo Russell, PG, Los Angeles Lakers

FanDuel Price: $6,700

D'Angelo Russell has been on a tear, averaging 37.5 FanDuel points over his past five games. He'll look to remain hot in tonight's matchup between the Los Angeles Lakers and Portland Trail Blazers, which has the second-highest over/under on the slate (222). The Lakers are road underdogs, but still projected for 110.3 points.

Over the past two seasons, Russell has averaged 25.5 FanDuel points when the Lakers have had at least a 110.3-point implied team total, as opposed to 22.7 in all other games. His numbers look even better when examining games L.A. was involved in with at least a 220-point over/under. In such games, Russell has seen his FanDuel average jump to 29.8 points.

In addition to a positive game script, Russell draws a plus-matchup against Damian Lillard, who ranks 80th among 85 qualified point guards in real defensive plus-minus. At just $6,700, with matchup and game script in his favor, Russell is one of the strongest point guard plays on the slate.
