Daily Fantasy Basketball Game Scripts to Target on 1/12/17

Brook Lopez, C, Brooklyn Nets

FanDuel Price: $7,000

Brook Lopez and the Brooklyn Nets take on the New Orleans Pelicans. Both teams are dealing with some injuries, so the Vegas line could certainly change. However, what is not going to change is that this will be a quick-paced matchup between two below-average defenses.

As of now, the over/under in this one sits at 216.5 points, which is the second-highest on the slate and Brooklyn is projected for 105.8 points, which is the fourth-highest implied team total. In games Lopez has played in with over a 216-point over/under this season, he's averaged 34.8 FanDuel points (30.9 in all other games).

In addition to having favorable game script, Lopez has a matchup he should exploit against the weak interior defense of the Pelicans. No team has allowed more points via the post up this season than New Orleans, which is exciting news for Lopez, one of the league's premier post scorers.

He ranks fourth in post up scoring this season, and has the highest points per possession in the post among players with at least 100 such field goal attempts.
