3 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Basketball Plays for 1/23/17

Kristaps Porzingis, PF, New York Knicks

FanDuel Price: $7,000

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Kristaps Porzingis has struggled since returning from a nagging achilles injury and is part of a deep power forward player pool.

Paul Millsap, LaMarcus Aldridge, and Jabari Parker all are likely to soak up some ownership at similar price points to Porzingis, while Tobias Harris, Terrence Jones, and David Lee all figure to be popular value plays.

Why You Should Use Him:

Porzingis hasn't looked quite like himself, but he started and played 33 minutes in his last game. So, the New York Knicks at least think he's close to full health. If ever there was a spot for bouncing back, it is tonight's matchup against the Indiana Pacers.

Indiana has struggled against bigs this season, allowing the 13th-most FanDuel points to opposing power forwards and the sixth-most to centers. They have the fourth-worst rebounding rate and have allowed the fifth-most blocks per game to opponents, both areas in which Porzingis excels.

The Pacers have allowed the most points to opposing bigs out of the pick-and-roll, as well as the sixth-most points and third-highest points per possession in the post.

The Unicorn hasn't looked like the dominant force we know he can be lately, and he's not worth considering in cash formats until he rights the ship. However, his struggles may have opened up a perfect opportunity to buy-low on his upside in tournaments, where he can be had at low ownership.
