George Hill, PG, Utah Jazz

FanDuel Price: $6,000

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

There are quite a few point guards in good spots tonight. Enough so that George Hill isn't likely to be a chalky play, even in an advantageous matchup against Russell Westbrook and the Oklahoma City Thunder.

John Wall and Stephen Curry will go at it in what is easily expected to be the highest-scoring game on the slate and both should be popular plays. Damian Lillard, Kemba Walker, Mike Conley, and D'Angelo Russell are all playing well and are also in good spots, which should be enough to keep Hill's ownership down.

Why You Should Use Him:

Hill is hard to feel confident in because he can disappear at any time, as evidenced by his 8.7-FanDuel-point performance just 4 games ago. However, he also has displayed big-time upside when aggressive, with performances of 32.6, 36.6, and 41.8 FanDuel points coming in his last 7 games.

If any matchup can bring out the best in a point guard, it is a meeting with the Thunder. OKC has allowed the sixth-most FanDuel points to the position and Westbrook has posted a -0.24 DRPM this season. In his past five games against Westbrook, Hill has averaged 32.2 FanDuel points.

OKC often tries to mask Westbrook's ineffectiveness on the defensive end by putting Andre Roberson on opposing point guards and hiding Westbrook on an off-guard. However, they won't have that luxury tonight with Roberson likely to be tasked with defending Gordon Hayward. With the Jazz bigs doing battle with Taj Gibson and Steven Adams, both proficient defenders, Hill clearly has the best matchup of Utah's offensive playmakers.

If he is aggressive tonight, he should have no trouble crushing value at his price tag. However, given his tendency to disappear on offense, Hill is hard to trust in cash formats. His upside makes him an excellent tournament play, though.
