Daily Fantasy Basketball Game Scripts to Target on 3/21/17

Brandon Ingram, SF, Los Angeles Lakers

FanDuel Price: $4,500

It has taken a while, but Brandon Ingram has finally started to flash the potential many thought he had when he was taken with the second overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft.

Over his last eight games, the rookie is averaging 14.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.9 blocks per game on 52.1% shooting from the field. In seven of those eight games, Ingram has posted at least 22 FanDuel points while averaging 24.8 fantasy points per night since March 5th. The small forward's matchup with a Los Angeles Clippers team playing the second game of a back-to-back set should help Ingram keep the hot streak going.

Overall, the Clippers play strong defense, particularly against opposing backcourts, which is the bread and butter of the Los Angeles Lakers. However, the Clips have real trouble slowing down opposing small forwards, allowing the fifth-most fantasy points per game to the position. Ingram recorded his sixth-best game of the season the last time these two teams met, racking up 28.5 fantasy points.

The battle for L.A. should be filled with points. The projected over/under of 219.5 is the highest total of the night. While the Lakers are the underdogs, their implied total still sits at 105.3, a modest increase over their season-long average. In the 23 games Ingram has played with similar game scripts, he is averaging 19.7 fantasy points per contest.
