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

Jrue Holiday, PG, New Orleans Pelicans

FanDuel Price: $6,800

As mentioned with BroLo, this game is the only one expected to be both high scoring and competitive throughout, making it one of the best to target. The Pels have a 110.8-point implied team total, which is the third-highest on the slate.

Among New Orleans players, Jrue Holiday has been the most positively affected by game scripts in his favor over the past two seasons. He's also been a victim of several injuries, which has led to inconsistent playing time, which skews his splits. To get a more accurate representation of how certain game scripts have impacted his performance, the following numbers will all be representative of games where he has played at least 30 minutes (he's averaging 33 minutes per game since Christmas), while also matching the criteria of the split.

When the Pelicans have had an implied team total of at least 110.8 points over the past two seasons, Holiday has averaged 37.4 FanDuel points. He's averaged 36.9 in games with an over/under of at least 216.5 points during that time.

Anthony Davis is also questionable, and Holiday has averaged 40.4 FanDuel points in games Davis has missed over the past three seasons.

Oh yeah, and he gets to face the Nets, who have allowed the most FanDuel points to opposing point guards this season. No matter how you slice it, Holiday is one of the top point guard plays on the slate.
