Daily Fantasy Basketball Game Scripts to Target on 1/24/17

Rudy Gobert, C, Utah Jazz

FanDuel Price: $8,100

The Utah Jazz will take on the Denver Nuggets in a game that is expected to be surprisingly high-scoring -- at least for a Jazz game. Vegas has this one listed with a 211-point over/under, which is the third-highest on the slate, and Utah is projected for 104.25 points, 4.55 more than their season scoring average. That boost is the largest for any team playing tonight.

Even if Russell Westbrook doesn't agree, Rudy Gobert has been hard to contain recently, averaging 19 points, 16.2 rebounds, and 44.3 FanDuel points over his last five games. A look at his splits in similar game scripts this season suggests that he should be able to maintain those numbers in tonight's high-scoring game against Denver.

Per the RotoViz Game Splits App, in the six games the Jazz have been projected for at least 104 points this season, Gobert has averaged 36.9 FanDuel points per contest. For a larger sample size, he has averaged the same 36.9 FanDuel points in the 20 games Utah has had at least a 100-point implied total, as opposed to 29.6 FanDuel points in all other games.

The Stifle Tower hasn't played in any games with this high of an over/under, but in four games with at least a 205-point over/under, he's averaged 39.1 FanDuel points. In 12 games with at least a 200-point over/under, the big man has averaged 36 FanDuel points.
