Tony Parker, PG, San Antonio Spurs

FanDuel Price: $4,500

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Tony Parker is rarely a highly-sought after player in daily fantasy, and with fill-in point guards T.J. McConnell and Shelvin Mack in the same price range, that doesn't figure to change today.

Why You Should Use Him:

Parker has been playing surprisingly well over his last four games, averaging 18.3 points, 5.3 assists, and 27.6 FanDuel points during that stretch. He will attempt to maintain his recent success in tonight's matchup against Kyle Lowry and the Toronto Raptors.

Lowry is generally thought of as a quality defender, but point guards have found success against the Raptors over their past five games. During that span, Lowry has allowed starting points guards, D'Angelo Russell, Eric Bledsoe, Stephen Curry, C.J. McCollum, and Mack to average 40.3 FanDuel points, with all but Mack posting a 40-plus FanDuel point performance.

Per the RotoViz Game Splits App, Parker has averaged 27.6 FanDuel points in his last five meetings with Lowry, which is 3.8 points higher than his average in all other games during that span. Given his recent performance, Parker's outlook is very similar to that of fellow value plays, McConnell and Mack, yet he will come at much lower ownership.
