3 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Basketball Plays for 1/16/17

Derrick Rose, PG, New York Knicks

FanDuel Price: $6,200

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Point guard isn't quite as deep as we've grown accustomed to, but there are still plenty of appealing options today. At the top, John Wall and Damian Lillard draw a head-to-head matchup, and together they should account for a decent bit of ownership. Just below them is Jeff Teague in a terrific spot against the New Orleans Pelicans.

In the same mid-price range as Derrick Rose, both Dennis Schroder and Elfrid Payton find themselves in good spots and should be popular enough to keep Rose's ownership in check.

Why You Should Use Him:

Rose hasn't put up huge numbers since returning, but it has not been for lack of opportunity. He has averaged 31.7 minutes and 14.3 field goal attempts over his past three games, and Rose could be looking at even more tonight with Porzingis doubtful to play.

He also draws a matchup against the Atlanta Hawks, who have allowed the fifth-most FanDuel points per game to opposing point guards. Dennis Schroder will spend most of his time matched up with Rose, and he ranks 74th among 85 qualified point guards in defensive real plus-minus.

Rose's recent inconsistencies make him more of a tournament play than a cash-game option, but he has plenty of upside tonight given the matchup.
