NBA
3 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Basketball Plays for 2/15/17

Andre Drummond, C, Detroit Pistons

FanDuel Price: $8,600

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

The NBA has treated us to a loaded 14-game slate tonight with plenty of appealing options across the board. Andre Drummond is taking on a Dallas Mavericks team that has performed well against centers on paper, along with having the lowest over/under on the slate. So, don't expect him to be overly popular.

Why You Should Use Him:

Drummond has recently looked like the dominant force we grew accustomed to last season, with averages of 15.8 rebounds and 42.1 FanDuel points over his past 5 games.

He'll look to continue his dominance on the glass against the NBA's worst rebounding team, the Mavericks, who have posted a pathetic 46.4% rebounding rate this season.

Drummond makes his living on the glass -- he's a league-best rebounding rate this season, which is the third time in the last four seasons he has led the league in said category. In his one meeting with the Mavs this season, Drummond grabbed 17 boards despite playing just 27 minutes due to foul trouble.

He should dominate the paint against Dallas, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him maintain his recent string of production. The slate-low over/under is definitely concerning, but it's hard to pass on the league's best rebounder against the league's worst rebounding team in tournaments, where he'll have low ownership.
