Daily Fantasy Basketball Game Scripts to Target on 1/26/17

Paul George, SF, Indiana Pacers

FanDuel Price: $7,700

Paul George broke out of his slump in his most recent game, posting 42.9 FanDuel points in what was expected to be a high-scoring game against the New York Knicks. That game had a 218-point over/under and finished with 212 points scored. That is right in line with the 212-point over/under listed for tonight's matchup between the Indiana Pacers and Minnesota Timberwolves, which is the second-highest over/under on the slate.

George has played considerably better in shootouts this season, averaging 42 FanDuel points in 16 games that Indiana has played in with an over/under of 212 or more points, as opposed to 33.2 in all other games. He's also averaged more when they've had an implied team total of 104.2 or higher, as they do tonight. In such games, he's averaged 36.45 FanDuel points.

In addition to a favorable game script, George draws a terrific individual matchup against Andrew Wiggins. The talented youngster is beginning to come into his own as a scorer, but Wiggins has been a liability on the defensive end, ranking 78th among 80 qualified small forwards in defensive real plus-minus.
