Daily Fantasy Basketball Game Scripts to Target on 1/25/17
James Harden, SG, Houston Rockets
FanDuel Price: $12,100
All eyes will be on James Harden and the Houston Rockets as they take on the Boston Celtics in what is easily expected to be the highest scoring game on the slate. The over/under in this one currently sits at 229.5 points, with Houston projected for 116.5 points -- both of which lead the slate.
Harden has only played in three games with an over/under this high over the past two seasons, so for a larger sample size, let's examine games he's played in with at least a 225-point over/under. In said games, Harden has averaged 58.3 FanDuel points, up from 49.4 in all other games. In games the Rockets have been projected for at least 116.3 points during that stretch, Harden has seen his average rise even further, up to 59 FanDuel points.
Harden has been a near lock for 50-plus FanDuel points recently, reaching that mark in four of his past five games and seven of his past 10. He's averaged 55.3 FanDuel points per night over his last 10 outings, and given his splits in game scripts similar to this one, he has a great chance to blow up again tonight.
