Daily Fantasy Basketball Game Scripts to Target on 4/11/17
Tyler Ennis, PG, Los Angeles Lakers
FanDuel Price: $4,000
Tyler Ennis has stepped into a larger role for the Los Angeles Lakers to close out the season, topping 20 minutes in each of his past four games, with two yielding 30-plus FanDuel points. With D'Angelo Russell out for personal reasons, Ennis will likely be looking at a huge workload, as he did when he played 39 minutes and put up 31 FanDuel points last time Russell sat.
Per RotoGrinders' Court IQ, it has been Ennis, not Jordan Clarkson, who has seen the biggest boost with Russell sidelined, averaging 0.92 FanDuel points per minute, as opposed to Clarkson's 0.83.
Despite playing without Russell, the Lakers are expected to exceed their season scoring output by over five points against the New Orleans Pelicans. Their implied team total of 110.75 points is the second-highest on the slate and the 218.5 over/under is tied for the highest.
The Pels have also allowed the 10th-most FanDuel points to opposing point guards this year, so Ennis should have a clearer path to success than the last time Russell was out, which led to him dealing with a stingy San Antonio Spurs defense.
