Daily Fantasy Basketball Game Scripts to Target on 3/22/17

Rudy Gobert, C, Utah Jazz

FanDuel Price: $8,800

In the last week, Rudy Gobert has been one of the best center options in DFS as he is averaging 47.4 FanDuel points over his last three games. In two of the contests, the Utah Jazz's big man recorded 50-plus fantasy points. While he posted a double-double in all three games and averaged 16.3 points per game, the Stifle Tower made his money blocking an average of 5.0 shots while grabbing 15.3 rebounds per game.

Gobert's domination down low should continue on Wednesday as the hapless New York Knicks come to town.

The Knicks are one of the NBA's worst rebounding teams. They allow the fourth-most rebounds to opponents while ranking last in the defensive rebounding percentage. All those extra rebounds have led to the Knicks allowing the most second-chance points in the league, leaving them as fantasy's 27th-ranked defense against opposing centers.

Gobert, on the other hand, ranks in the top five in both total rebounds per game (12.8) and total rebound percentage (21.8%). Add it up, and the stars are aligned for a monster night on the glass and in the box score for Utah's center.

Typically most Jazz games are low scoring; they average just 100.3 points per game. However, due to the Knicks' porous defense, the Jazz own one of the highest implied totals on the night (106.5). In similar game scripts over the last two seasons, Gobert has averaged more than three more fantasy points per night compared to his overall average.
