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

Robin Lopez, C, Chicago Bulls

FanDuel Price: $4,400

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

If paying down at the center position, people are much more likely to go with Jonas Valanciunas than Robin Lopez. If not, Hassan Whiteside also figures to be a popular play.

Why You Should Use Him:

Lopez has put up a solid 25.3 FanDuel points over his past four games while averaging over 30 minutes of playing time in that stretch. He's averaged 7.5 boards per game during that run, and he could be looking at double-digit boards tonight against the Dallas Mavericks, who have been demolished on the glass this season.

No team has a worse rebounding rate than the Mavs, whose horrendous rebounding rate (46.3%) gets even worse with Andrew Bogut out of the lineup, as he is tonight. Over their past five games, their rebounding rate has dropped to a laughable 42.2% as they've allowed the opposing team's starting center to average 15.4 boards.

Lopez doesn't have huge upside, but if he sees 30-plus minutes again in this one, it'd be very surprising if he didn't snag at least 10 rebounds against the soft Dallas frontcourt. He should have no trouble reaching value at his price, and his salary opens up a lot of options when constructing lineups.
