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

Mike Conley, PG, Memphis Grizzlies

FanDuel Price: $7,700

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Point guard has plenty of appealing options available tonight, which should keep Mike Conley's ownership down. For starters, Russell Westbrook is playing at a level at which he simply cannot be ignored, averaging 68.3 FanDuel points over his past six games. Top-end options like Stephen Curry and Chris Paul are also in great spots.

Just below Conley, Elfrid Payton has three triple doubles in his last five games and will be on the radar of all daily fantasy players. Derrick Rose should also be a trendy pick in a good matchup with Kristaps Porzingis out, while George Hill is in a solid spot against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Why You Should Use Him:

Conley has really played well recently, with 39-plus FanDuel points in seven of his last nine games. Despite that, he has remained moderately priced, providing us with an excellent opportunity to buy low.

Conley draws one of the best matchups on the slate for a point guard, as the Atlanta Hawks have allowed the sixth-most FanDuel points to the position thanks in large part to the individual efforts of Dennis Schroder. Schroder has been a complete liability on the defensive end this season, ranking 83rd among 89 point guards in defensive real plus-minus (DRPM).

This is also a pace-up game for Conley and the Memphis Grizzlies, who rank 28th in pace of play. He should benefit from the extra possessions in an advantageous matchup against Schroder and the Hawks, who play at the 10th-fastest pace. Conley is a terrific play in all formats, with the potential for low ownership is just an added bonus.
