3 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Basketball Plays for 1/26/17

Danilo Gallinari, SF, Denver Nuggets

FanDuel Price: $5,800

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

The top three options at small forward, Gordon Hayward, Paul George, Andrew Wiggins, are all in great spots and are reasonably easy to fit into lineups at $8,000 or less. All three should see their fair share of ownership, which should keep Danilo Gallinari's ownership down, especially considering the way he's played recently.

Why You Should Use Him:

While it's true that Gallinari's production has slowed down a bit this season, especially since Nikola Jokic has taken the league by storm, it doesn't mean he can't still crush value at his price tag in tonight's matchup against the Phoenix Suns.

Phoenix has allowed the fourth-most FanDuel points per game to opposing small forwards, which is pretty easy to do when you rank third in pace and 25th in defensive efficiency. Speaking of pace, this game should be played at a blistering one, as both teams rank inside the top-five in that category. Both also rank in the bottom-six in defensive efficiency, so the slate-leading 229-point over/under should come as no surprise.

While Phoenix loves to push the tempo, it has perhaps been to their detriment at times -- they have allowed the third-most points in transition and no team has allowed a higher effective field goal percentage in transition than the Suns. Gallinari hasn't posted dominant numbers in transition this season, but last year he was a force to be reckoned with, posting a higher effective field goal percentage in this situation than all small forwards not named LeBron James.

Gallinari hasn't been quite himself this season, but he's shown the ability to be an elite scorer, especially in up-tempo games. Given the matchup, there's reason enough to take a chance on him at his price tag in tournaments.
