Daily Fantasy Basketball Game Scripts to Target on 1/13/17

Dennis Schroder, PG, Atlanta Hawks

FanDuel Price: $7,000

Dennis Schroder and the Atlanta Hawks are projected for 108 points against the Boston Celtics, which is the fifth-highest implied team total on the slate. Their 108-point implied team total is 5.3 points above their season scoring average, which is the second-highest expected increase on this slate. The 213.5-point over/under is the fourth-highest on the slate.

Schroder has been everything Atlanta could have hoped for in his first stint as a starter, especially lately, as he's averaging 33.5 FanDuel points over his past five games. He's played even better in game scripts similar to today's. When playing with at least a 213.5-point over/under, Schroder has averaged 35.6 FanDuel points this season. When playing with at least a 108-point implied team total, he's averaged 33.3.

In addition to positive game script, Schroder will benefit from the absence of Boston's best on-ball defender, Avery Bradley. Instead, he'll spend the majority of his time being guarded by Isaiah Thomas, who ranks dead last among 437 qualified NBA players in real defensive plus/minus this season.

Schroder has everything going in his favor -- matchup, game script and price. He is a terrific play in both cash and GPP formats.
