Kemba Walker, PG, Charlotte Hornets

FanDuel Price: $8,000

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Monday night is full of point guard options, including some of the league's best. Russell Westbrook, Stephen Curry, Chris Paul, and John Wall will all likely be higher owned than Kemba Walker. There are also a few low-priced options in the explosive Houston Rockets-Denver Nuggets matchup that will be on plenty of rosters.

Walker is also coming off a pair of lousy performances, where he has earned just 37.6 total FanDuel points.

Why You Should Use Him:

Before Walker put up the two bad games, the Charlotte Hornets' point guard was playing some of his best basketball of the season over the previous month. In the 13 games he played from February 13 to March 13, Walker recorded 11 games with at least 38 FanDuel points. He averaged 26.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.1 steals, and 41.4 fantasy points.

Walker draws an excellent matchup on Monday against the Atlanta Hawks, who allow the third-most fantasy points to opposing point guards of all the teams playing Monday (eighth overall). While Dennis Schroder can rack up the points on offense, he is one of the NBA's worst defensive point guards, ranking 83rd out of 89 qualifiers with a -2.53 defensive real plus/minus.

Two of the Hawks' biggest weaknesses are strengths for Walker. They give up the second-most steals and three-pointers in the NBA, while Walker has drained a career-high 2.9 threes and has averaged over 1.1 steals per game for five consecutive seasons.

In Walker's two previous games against Atlanta this season, he has put up 39.0 and 39.2 FanDuel points. Both marks would pull in just under 5x value at his $8,000 price tag on Monday.
