3 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Basketball Plays for 1/12/17

Tyson Chandler, C, Dallas Mavericks

FanDuel Price: $5,200

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Brook Lopez and Pau Gasol are both in good spots, while Joakim Noah and Robin Lopez both might garner some attention in their revenge matchup. Tyson Chandler is rarely a popular option at this stage in his career, and he isn't likely to see the attention he should in a terrific matchup.

Why You Should Use Him:

Okay, yes, Chandler doesn't offer much on the offensive end. He has reached double-digit points in just two of his past eight games. I get that. However, given his recent work on the glass, his inability to put the ball in the basket hasn't mattered much from a fantasy perspective. Over his past six games, Chandler has averaged 26.9 FanDuel points, thanks in large part to 13.8 boards per game. Over his past three games, he has posted averages of 30.5 FanDuel points and 17.7 rebounds.

Guess what the Dallas Mavericks are really bad at? Rebounding.

No team has a worse rebounding rate than the Mavs this season. They also are likely to be without Andrew Bogut, who is their most competent rebounder. Without Bogut on the floor, their league-worst 46.4 percent rebounding rate drops to an even worse 45.2 percent, per nbawowy.com. It should come as no surprise, then, that Chandler grabbed 18 rebounds in his last meeting with the Mavs.

He isn't an exciting option, but given the way he has been crashing the glass lately, it wouldn't be surprising to see him grab 15 to 20 rebounds against the Mavs, which would make him almost a lock to reach value at his price tag.
