NBA
3 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Basketball Plays for 2/10/17
A seemingly tough matchup against Hassan Whiteside and the Miami Heat should scare daily fantasy players off Brook Lopez, but a deeper look suggests he has exciting tournament potential.

Darren Collison, PG, Sacramento Kings

FanDuel Price: $5,200

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

As always, there are plenty of appealing top options at point guard on Friday, but what should specifically lower Darren Collison's ownership is the fact that both Dennis Schroder and Derrick Rose are coming off big games and are in better on-paper matchups.

Why You Should Use Him:

As mentioned with Hardaway, Ty Lawson isn't expected to take the floor tonight. As a result, the very shorthanded Kings will give Collison all the minutes he can handle, as they have in the other two games Lawson has missed this season.

Collison averaged 36.5 minutes of court time when given this opportunity, which he turned into an average of 35.9 FanDuel points. In the six games Lawson has played fewer than 15 minutes, Collison has averaged 35.8 minutes and 12.7 shot attempts.

If he's looking at that type of volume against Schroder's defense, good things are likely to happen. Schroder ranks 83rd among 86 qualified point guards with a -2.99 DRPM this season. If Lawson indeed sits out, Collison is a good bet to crush value at his price tag.
