Devin Booker, SG, Phoenix Suns

FanDuel Price: $6,900

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

While not quite as loaded as center, the shooting guard player pool is also very deep tonight.

Top options James Harden and Giannis Antetokounmpo both draw terrific matchups, while Bradley Beal could end up being a trendy pick if John Wall sits. Both Avery Bradley and Marcus Smart are going to see an uptick in ownership with Isaiah Thomas off the floor. Evan Fournier might even see some ownership as a sneaky play in an up-tempo game against the Phoenix Suns.

Devin Booker was a major letdown in his last game, putting up just 24.6 FanDuel points against the Sacramento Kings with Eric Bledsoe sidelined, so even in a good spot against the Orlando Magic, he likely won't carry heavy ownership.

Why You Should Use Him:

Prior to posting the dud in his last game, Booker was experiencing quite the hot streak, averaging 36.5 FanDuel points in four games. As a shooter, some might draw the conclusion from last game that Booker was reliant on his point guard to get him good looks, but the numbers don't back that theory up -- he has performed better when he hasn't had to share the floor with Bledsoe this season.

Per Rotogrinders' Court IQ, Booker has seen boosts in both usage rate (+8.5%) and FanDuel points per minute (+0.22) without Bledsoe and Brandon Knight, who isn't likely to play, leading the team with a 37.8% usage rate and coming in second with 1.07 FanDuel points per minute.

Booker should take advantage of his expanded role against Orlando, who ranks 23rd in defensive efficiency and has allowed the sixth-highest three-point percentage this season. He is a fine option in all formats -- the potential for low ownership is an added bonus.
