3 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Basketball Plays for 1/6/17

John Wall, PG, Washington Wizards

FanDuel Price: $9,700

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

As per usual, the point guard position is loaded.

Isaiah Thomas is in the middle of a ridiculous hot streak and draws a helpless Philadelphia 76ers defense. Goran Dragic will see healthy ownership against the Los Angeles Lakers, while D'Angelo Russell is playing well on the other side of the ball and should be fairly popular.

Elfrid Payton has been playing very well and is in what should be a high-scoring game against the Houston Rockets. If Matthew Dellavedova sits out again, Malcolm Brogdon will again be a popular punt play.

With all these options to choose from, it's unlikely many people end up with John Wall in their lineup.

Why You Should Use Him:

Admittedly, Wall's price is a little too high to account for the fact that Bradley Beal is back in the lineup. However, that may work in our favor, as it will keep his ownership down.

Wall will take on the Minnesota Timberwolves, and the Wizards are projected to be one of the highest-scoring teams on the slate. The Wolves have been average against point guards this year, and Ricky Rubio is a decent individual defender, but they struggle to defend the areas in which Wall excels.

Minnesota has allowed the fourth-most points in transition per possession, and Wall ranks sixth in transition scoring. They've also been below average against the pick-and-roll, ranking in the bottom-half of the league in points per possession, while Wall also ranks sixth in points scored as a ball handler out of the pick-and-roll.

He's scored 69.3 percent of his total points out of the pick-and-roll or in transition this season, so he should have no problem exploiting Minnesota's weakness on defense.
