Otto Porter, SF, Washington Wizards

FanDuel Price: $6,000

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

In a decent matchup versus the Boston Celtics on Monday, where Otto Porter found himself as the third highest-owned small forward, the Washington Wizards' sharpshooter posted a 14.6-FanDuel-point dud. The public doesn't like getting burned and will shy away from using Porter again, especially with the big name options available on Wednesday.

LeBron James, Jimmy Butler, and Paul George will all be in action, as well as lower-priced options like Marcus Morris and Terrence Ross.

Why You Should Use Him:

Take out Porter's flop on Monday, and the small forward has been a strong DFS play lately. In his previous seven games, Porter had produced four games with 30 or more FanDuel points. He averaged 16.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.9 steals, 1.9 three-pointers, and 30.7 fantasy points per night from March 8-18. With the Atlanta Hawks coming into town on Wednesday, Porter is in line for significant bounce-back performance.

Generally a stout defense, the Hawks come into the game on a slide, giving up an average of 107.3 points in their last 10 games. Their main weakness has been at the three-point arc, where opponents are just feasting. They have allowed the most three-pointers per game (12.6) at the third-highest success rate (39.6%) in those last 10 games.

Now, they have the bad luck of facing the NBA's second-best three-point shooter in Porter, who is making 44.5% of long range bombs this year.

For the season, the Hawks give up the third-most fantasy points to opposing small forwards. Add it all up, and the situation looks pretty good for Porter. The last time the 23-year-old played Atlanta, he went off for 21 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, 5 threes, and 44.2 fantasy points.
