3 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Basketball Plays for 2/16/17

Paul George, SF, Indiana Pacers

FanDuel Price: $8,600

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Paul George has scored less than 25 FanDuel points in two of his past three games and is part of what is one of the deepest positions on the night, as small forward actually has four or five viable options. With plenty of other places to pay up on this slate, it's unlikely many do so for George. If Dwyane Wade sits, it will increase the chances that George goes overlooked, because both Jimmy Butler and Doug McDermott would see a boost in ownership.

Why You Should Use Him:

George has struggled to find his shot recently, but he's remained aggressive, attempting 34 shots across his last two games. In the 10 games prior to his cold stretch, George averaged 39.6 FanDuel points, so he should get back on track sooner rather than later.

He will take on the Washington Wizards, who have posted strong numbers against small forwards for most of the season, but they have seen their rank against the position creep in the wrong direction recently -- sitting at 16th in terms of FanDuel points allowed to the position, which is the worst on the slate. Over the past few seasons, George has toasted the Wizards, averaging 45.3 FanDuel points against them in the last two years.

Given his recent struggles and the fact that he isn't playing in an expanded role, like Butler probably will be, George is a tough sell for cash games tonight. However, George could be a tournament-changer at low(ish) ownership on such a small slate.
