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

Marcin Gortat, C, Washington Wizards

FanDuel Price: $6,400

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Marcin Gortat has shown capped upside this season, with his last game of 40-plus FanDuel points coming over a month ago. As a result, he tends to be a forgotten man in what is normally a deep center player pool. That should be the case again today, despite a tasty matchup against the Boston Celtics.

Why You Should Use Him:

Gortat has been a steady force inside for the Washington Wizards, averaging 32.2 FanDuel points and 37.7 minutes over his past seven games. He played 42 minutes last night against the Chicago Bulls, so there is some risk that he sees his minutes limited today. However, he has actually averaged 36.3 minutes per game on the back end of back-to-back sets this season, so he should see his normal allotment of playing time tonight.

Gortat will take on Horford and the Celtics, who have allowed the seventh-most FanDuel points per game to opposing centers. Horford is normally thought of as a quality defender, but he ranks 35th among centers in defensive real plus/minus this season. Boston also ranks 29th in rebounding rate this season, and Horford's rebounding rate is 50th among 57 qualified centers.

If looking for an example of how susceptible Boston is on the inside, look no further than last night as Jonas Valanciunas posted a monster 18-point, 23-rebound double-double in just 28 minutes.
