Daily Fantasy Basketball Game Scripts to Target on 2/10/17

Giannis Antetokounmpo, SG, Milwaukee Bucks

FanDuel Price: $11,200

Giannis Antetokounmpo hasn't been quite his dominant self recently, but tonight's matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers should be exactly what he needs to turn things around.

His Milwaukee Bucks have an implied team total of 112 points, which is seven points above their season scoring average and is the third-highest on the slate. The 219.5 point over/under is the second-highest of all the matchups on Friday.

Per the RotoViz Game Splits App, Antetokounmpo has played much better in projected shootouts over the past two seasons. With an implied team total of at least 110 points, the Greek Freak has averaged 49.7 FanDuel points, compared to 38.8 in all others. When there's an over/under above 217 points, he has averaged 51.7 FanDuel points.

In addition to positive game script, the Lakers have no one who can hope to slow down Antetokounmpo. They rank 29th in defensive efficiency as a team and rank in the bottom 10 in terms of FanDuel points allowed against every position he plays (point guard, shooting guard, small forward).

If the game script holds up, it is hard to imagine Antetokounmpo not having a huge game. His upside makes him an intriguing tournament option tonight.
