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

Rajon Rondo, PG, Chicago Bulls

FanDuel Price: $5,800

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

There are several appealing point guard options, most of which are in the same price range as Rajon Rondo.

Elfrid Payton has put up huge numbers recently and draws an up-tempo matchup against the Phoenix Suns, Jeremy Lin continues to be underpriced and faces the Boston Celtics, while Tyler Ulis excelled in his first game in a larger role and should be popular against the Orlando Magic. Also, Brandon Jennings could be a trendy value play if Wall ends up sidelined.

Why You Should Use Him:

It is that special time of year where Rondo is handed the reigns to a terrible team and is allowed to pile up huge hollow stat lines in a losing cause.

With Dwyane Wade out for the season, Cameron Payne out for tonight's game, and Jerian Grant receiving a coaches' decision DNP in the last Chicago Bulls game, Rondo should continue to play a huge role for Chicago like he has over the past two games, where he's averaged 35.5 minutes, 18.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 7 assists, and 38.3 FanDuel points.

If he sees that type of a role again, he is an absolute steal at his current price tag. If Wall ends up missing this game and Jennings assumes the starting role, Rondo's potential goes up even further. Jennings has been a complete liability on the defensive end, ranking 78th among point guards in defensive real plus-minus.

Even if Wall does end up playing, Rondo is worth a look in tournaments. If Jennings is forced into a larger role, Rondo becomes a viable play in all formats.
