Daily Fantasy Basketball Game Scripts to Target on 4/5/17

Nikola Jokic, PF, Denver Nuggets

FanDuel Price: $10,000

The game all daily fantasy players will have their eyes on is the matchup between the Houston Rockets and Denver Nuggets, thanks to its 239.5-point over/under, which is nearly 20 points higher than the next-highest total on the slate. Despite being 8.5-point underdogs, the Nuggets have the second-highest implied team total on the slate (115.5 points), which is also a 4-point improvement over their season average.

According to the RotoViz Game Splits App, Nikola Jokic has seen a big boost to his numbers when playing in similar game scripts. He has seen his FanDuel per-game average climb by 11.4 points when playing in games with an implied team total of at least 115 points, and his average in games with an over/under of at least 225 points sits at 46.9 FanDuel points.

In addition to an advantageous game script, Jokic should benefit from a matchup against the Rockets, who have allowed the fifth-most FanDuel points to opposing centers. He had a great game in their last meeting as he nearly triple-doubled on his way to 46.6 FanDuel points.
