3 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Basketball Plays for 3/20/17

Gordon Hayward, SF, Utah Jazz

FanDuel Price: $7,600

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

When it comes to high-priced small forwards, Carmelo Anthony and Paul George will attract the highest ownership rates due to their star power. Otto Porter, Jae Crowder, and Trevor Ariza will see plenty of play as well, for those wanting to go in a modest direction.

Utah Jazz players tend to get overlooked due to their low-scoring offense. Gordon Hayward has been in a bit of a slump, too -- he's averaging just 26.1 FanDuel points in his last two games -- likely keeping his ownership rate low on Monday.

Why You Should Use Him:

Despite the pair of bad performances lately, Hayward has been a dependable fantasy option on a nightly basis.

Since February 1, the Jazz star has averaged 22.0 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.1 steals while shooting 47.5% from the field. In those 21 games, the small forward has 15 performances of at least 30 fantasy points and 6 with over 40. The drop in production in his last two games has also helped to suppress his price tag despite a plus matchup with the Indiana Pacers.

If the Pacers have had one weakness on defense, it has come against opposing small forwards. They rank in the bottom third of all teams in allowing fantasy points to the position (the 10th worst). Paul George -- the Pacer most likely to guard Hayward -- ranks 45th among the 81 qualified small forwards with a 0.00 defensive real plus/minus.

In Utah's only meeting with the Pacers this season, they scored 109 points, nearly nine more than their season average. In that game, Hayward dropped 27 points on 61.5% shooting with a 149 offensive rating. He will be in great position to take advantage of the Pacers again on Monday, as Indiana will be playing the second game of a back-to-back.
