Daily Fantasy Basketball Game Scripts to Target on 3/6/17

Nikola Jokic, PF, Denver Nuggets

FanDuel Price: $9,900

After a brief dry spell, Nikola Jokic has bounced back with averages of 21 points, 14.7 rebounds, 8 assists, and 49.9 FanDuel points in his past three games, two of which were triple-doubles. He should be able to build on his recent dominance in what is expected to be a high-scoring affair between the Denver Nuggets and Sacramento Kings tonight. The 217.5-point over/under in this one is the second-highest on the slate, while Denver's 115-point implied team total is easily the highest on the slate.

According to the RotoViz Game Splits App, Jokic has played much better in similar situations this season. In games the Nuggets have played with an implied team total of at least 115 points this season, he has averaged 51.1 FanDuel points. The Kings have decent numbers against centers on the season, but the new-look Kings have struggled to contain opposing bigs. The past four bigs to face Sacramento (Rudy Gobert, Karl-Anthony Towns, Brook Lopez, and Frank Kaminsky) have averaged 48.1 FanDuel points against them, up from their combined season average of 33.3.

Jokic reportedly has been dealing with an illness, so keep an eye on his status leading up to tip off. If he is cleared for action though, Jokic could very easily put up another huge total in a plus-matchup and game script.
