NBA
3 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Basketball Plays for 2/7/17

Clint Capela, C, Houston Rockets

FanDuel Price: $5,100

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

The only other potential value play at center worth mentioning today is Miles Plumlee, so Clint Capela likely isn't going to go completely overlooked. However, there really isn't a need to pay down at center tonight with value at other positions, so with top options like Brook Lopez, Nikola Vucevic and Mason Plumlee all in good spots, Capela's ownership should be held in check.

Why You Should Use Him:

Capela has been given over 30 minutes in back to back games and has really been playing well as of late. He's averaged 26.8 FanDuel points over his past five games, which clears value at his price tag. He should see a lot of minutes tonight to contend with Vucevic down low.

His opponent, the Magic, have allowed the eighth-most FanDuel points to opposing centers this season. They sit just 24th in rebounding rate and have allowed the ninth-most blocked shots to their opponents -- both areas in which Capela excels. Orlando also ranks in the bottom-five in both points allowed to bigs in the pick and roll and points per possession allowed in the post.

Capela hasn't had a game with less than 20 FanDuel points in eight outings, and he has shown that the upside is there, posting a 36.8-FanDuel-point performance against the Atlanta Hawks five days ago. He is a fine option in all formats tonight.
