3 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Basketball Plays for 1/11/17

DeAndre Jordan, C, Los Angeles Clippers

FanDuel Price: $7,500

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

DeAndre Jordan was expected to step up for the injury-plagued Los Angeles Clippers over the past month, but his fantasy output disappointed. As a result, he has flown under the radar in daily fantasy. With the likes of Karl-Anthony Towns, Joel Embiid, Al Horford, and Nikola Vucevic all in good spots, it isn't likely that Jordan finds himself highly owned tonight.

Why You Should Use Him:

Jordan has performed noticeably better with Paul in the lineup over the past few seasons, which shouldn't be surprising due to his struggles to create his own shot and Paul's impressive playmaking ability. Since the start of the 2014 season, Jordan has averaged 34.8 FanDuel points with Paul in the lineup, as opposed to 30.6 without him. During that same span, his average has jumped to 38.1 FanDuel points without Blake Griffin. So, we should be looking at prime-time Jordan in this one, with Paul back to distribute and Griffin not there to take shots and boards from him.

Jordan's matchup against the Orlando Magic provides him an opportunity for a big game as they have really struggled against opposing bigs this season. Orlando has the seventh-worst rebounding rate in the NBA, and starting center Bismack Biyombo ranks 30th among centers in rebounding rate. Jordan ranks third in the NBA in rebounding rate and second in rebounds per game.

Both Biyombo and Vucevic rank outside the top 25 in defensive real plus/minus among centers, and no player has allowed more points in the post than Biyombo this season.

Jordan is in a great spot, and he could come at relatively low ownership. It will be hard to fade some of the centers listed above, but if you're making multiple lineups, getting some exposure to Jordan isn't a bad idea.
