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

Nikola Jokic, PF, Denver Nuggets

FanDuel Price: $9,900

Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets get to take part in the game with easily the highest over/under on the slate -- their matchup against the New York Knicks is expected to yield 228 points. The Nuggets are 2.5-point underdogs, with an implied team total of 112.75 points -- second-highest on the slate.

Jokic has posted much stronger numbers in shootouts this season, averaging 51.1 FanDuel points when there's an over/under above 225. He's also performed slightly better in games with an implied team total of at least 110, averaging 34 FanDuel points, as opposed to 29.8 in all others.

The Knicks have really struggled to defend opposing bigs this season, ranking in the bottom half of the league against both centers and power forwards in terms of FanDuel points allowed.

Jokic is one of the NBA's most talented big men and prior to a three-game absence, he was really finding his groove (averaging 49.8 FanDuel points in the seven games prior). Tonight's game script and matchup should help him get back on track. Enjoy being able to roster him at under $10,000 while you still can.
