Daily Fantasy Basketball Game Scripts to Target on 3/13/17
On a slate full of low totals, the high over/under in the Nuggets-Lakers game really sticks out. How can we attack this game?

Andrew Wiggins, SF, Minnesota Timberwolves

FanDuel Price: $7,300

While it pales in comparison to the gaudy projections for the Denver-L.A. game, the matchup between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Washington Wizards has an over/under of 214.5 points, which is 8.5 points higher than the next-highest total. Minnesota's 107.75 point implied team total is a three-point improvement over their season scoring average and the highest among teams not in the Denver game.

Andrew Wiggins has struggled a bit recently, but has seen his price drop quite a bit as a result. A look at his splits suggest tonight's game might be the perfect opportunity to buy low.

In games with an over/under of at least 210 points this season, Wiggins has averaged 34.3 FanDuel points, up from 27.9 in all other games. With an implied team total of at least 106, that average has jumped to 35.7 FanDuel points.

In a pace-up game against a Washington team that has struggled to defend wings over the past few seasons -- including 47.2 FanDuel points allowed to Wiggins in their only meeting this season -- it wouldn't be the least bit surprising to see him get back to the 39.2 FanDuel points he averaged in February.
