3 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Basketball Plays for 2/28/17

Wilson Chandler, SF, Denver Nuggets

FanDuel Price: $6,600

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Wilson Chandler seems to always be overlooked by the daily fantasy community. With a plethora of appealing small forward options available, that isn't likely to change tonight.

At the top end, Kevin Durant, Jimmy Butler, and Gordon Hayward should soak up a good portion of the ownership, as all find themselves in good spots. Value options such as T.J. Warren and Brandon Ingram are both stepping into larger roles for their teams following the trade deadline and may be trendy plays.

Why You Should Use Him:

Chandler has come back strong from the All-Star Break, averaging 31.3 minutes, 18.7 points on 16.3 field goal attempts, and 29.8 FanDuel points per game. He'll again start at power forward for the Denver Nuggets against the Chicago Bulls and look to build on his recent success.

Chicago has been average against opposing power forwards this season, but following the departure of Taj Gibson, their defense against the position has taken a big hit.

Gibson is one of the better defensive power forwards in the league, ranking 12th in defensive real plus-minus at the position (DRPM). He has been replaced in the starting lineup by Bobby Portis, who ranks 80th. Nikola Mirotic also has picked up significant minutes at the four for Chicago, and while he ranks 20th in DRPM, he has never been known as a quality defender.

Per nbawowy.com, Chandler has posted a team-high 26.7% usage rate since the All-Star Break, up from his 22.8% rate prior to the break. If he continues to be that aggressive, he should have no trouble finding success against Portis and Mirotic. He isn't as flashy of an option as Durant or Butler, but at a reduced price and ownership, he makes for an excellent tournament option.
