Daily Fantasy Basketball Game Scripts to Target on 3/3/17

Eric Bledsoe, PG, Phoenix Suns

FanDuel Price: $8,800

On the other side of the ball, we have Eric Bledsoe and the Suns, who have the third-highest implied team total on the slate (111 points). Bledsoe saw limited minutes last night in a blowout win over the Charlotte Hornets, but was still quite efficient -- he hit 3-of-4 shots and scored 29.3 FanDuel points in 24 minutes of action.

In the five games prior to that, Bledsoe maintained a FanDuel average of 44 points in 36 minutes per game.

He should be able to get back to that level of production in a head-to-head matchup against Westbrook, who, for all his theatrics on the offensive end, has been a liability on defense. The Thunder have allowed the sixth-most FanDuel points to opposing point guards this season and will be forced to leave Westbrook on Bledsoe with Andre Roberson likely to be tasked with slowing down Devin Booker.

A look at the RotoViz Game Splits App suggests Bledsoe should thrive in this game script. In games the Suns have had an implied team total of at least 110 points this season, Bledsoe is averaging 39.8 FanDuel points, as opposed to 33.9 in all other games. With an over/under of at least 220, that average jumps to 43.8.

Bledsoe doesn't have quite the upside Westbrook does, but he comes at a significant discount and also should thrive in this quick-paced, back-and-forth affair. He is a terrific play regardless of format.
