3 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Basketball Plays for 3/10/17

Ricky Rubio, PG, Minnesota Timberwolves

FanDuel Price: $7,100

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

The point guard position in Friday's eight-game slate will likely be the spot many pay up for. Isaiah Thomas, John Wall, and Kemba Walker all have some of the most favorable matchups of the night. Stephen Curry is always a popular play, as well.

If people are looking for a bit of salary relief, Elfrid Payton will be a big target coming off a monster game on Wednesday and is cheaper than Ricky Rubio.

Why You Should Use Him:

Ever since word got out the Minnesota Timberwolves were looking to deal him, but were unsuccessful, the point guard has ramped up his production. In six games since the All-Star break, Rubio is averaging 12.2 points, 6.3 rebounds, 11.3 assists, and 2.2 steals. That has been worth over 38 FanDuel points per night.

In the last week, he recorded his first triple-double of the year and has two consecutive games with 42 or more fantasy points. The T-Wolves point guard will be set up nicely on Friday with a plus matchup to try and make it three in a row.

With the Golden State Warriors coming to town, who play at the second-fastest pace in the league, the game is projected to be one of the higher scoring contests of the night. The last time these two teams played, the Timberwolves put up 108 points, which is three more points than their season average. The matchup in the backcourt is also conducive for production.

Not known for his defense, Steph Curry has struggled to contain opposing point guards at times, and the Dubs allow the seventh-most fantasy points to opposing point guards of the teams playing on Friday.
