Daily Fantasy Basketball Game Scripts to Target on 1/23/17

Giannis Antetokounmpo, SG, Milwaukee Bucks

FanDuel Price: $10,800

Giannis Antetokounmpo has posted back to back subpar outings by his standards, but those were both in slow-paced games against the Orlando Magic and the Miami Heat. Tonight, he finds himself in a much better spot, as the Milwaukee Bucks take on the Houston Rockets, in the game with the highest over/under on the slate (224 points).

Milwaukee is projected for 109.3 points against Houston, which is 4.5 points higher than their season scoring average. Per the RotoViz Game Splits App, Antetokounmpo has performed much better in situations like this over the past two seasons, averaging 49.2 FanDuel points in games with at least a 109-point implied team total, as opposed to 37.9 in all other games. He hasn't played in any games with an over/under of at least 224 points, but in games with an over/under above 215 points, he has averaged 55.4 FanDuel points.

The Greek Freak has also been unstoppable in transition this season, trailing only Russell Westbrook in transition scoring and shooting an unprecedented 67.3 percent from the field in transition. The Rockets have allowed the fourth-most fast break points this season and have no chance of containing Antetokounmpo in transition.

Just five days ago, Antetokounmpo put up 58.2 FanDuel points in this spot, and it wouldn't be surprising at all to see him match that total tonight. He has everything going in his favor in this one and is a terrific play in all formats.
