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

Greg Monroe, C, Milwaukee Bucks

FanDuel Price: $6,300

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Despite being a small slate, there are still plenty of appealing center options today, which should keep Greg Monroe's ownership down. At the top, Dwight Howard, Nikola Vucevic, and Myles Turner are all in great spots, and Joel Embiid always demands attention.

At the lower end, Monroe will compete with Marcin Gortat, who has one of the best matchups on the board, and Joakim Noah, who should see some added ownership with Kristaps Porzingis unlikely to play.

Why You Should Use Him:

After a five-game hot streak in which he averaged 36.4 FanDuel points, Monroe has seen his minutes diminish recently, averaging 24 over his past three. He's remained productive in those minutes, however, averaging nearly a FanDuel point per minute. Tonight, if he sees minutes near what he was averaging before, Monroe should have no trouble exceeding value against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Philly has allowed the sixth-most FanDuel points per game to opposing centers this season and the third-highest points per possession in the post. They also boast the eighth-worst rebounding rate in the league.

Monroe and the Milwaukee Bucks are projected for 106.8 points against the Sixers, which is nearly two points higher than their season scoring average and the fourth-highest implied team total on the slate. This game has all the makings of a get-right spot for Monroe, whose likely low ownership make an excellent tournament option.
