Daily Fantasy Basketball Game Scripts to Target on 3/8/17

Dennis Schroder, PG, Atlanta Hawks

FanDuel Price: $6,900

Despite some apparent issues with coach Mike Budenholzer, Dennis Schroder has played very well recently -- averaging 30.3 FanDuel points over the past five games. Schroder scored 23 actual points in 24 minutes in the last Atlanta Hawks game before being benched.

Assuming he isn't prematurely pulled from tonight's game, Schroder should be able to fare well against a Brooklyn Nets team that has allowed the second-most FanDuel points to opposing point guards. Atlanta's 115.25-point implied team total in this game is the second-highest on the slate and is a double-digit improvement over their season scoring average.

Schroder has benefited greatly from positive game scripts this season, averaging 38.3 FanDuel points in games Atlanta has had an implied team total of at least 110 points. In games with an over/under of more than 215 points, he has averaged 36.2 FanDuel points.

Everything is pointing towards a huge game from Schroder, but it is always wise to exercise caution when considering the erratic fourth-year point guard. He's a viable play in all formats, but his inconsistency and risk of being benched might make it worth it to create some hedge lineups.
