3 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Basketball Plays for 2/24/17

D'Angelo Russell, PG, Los Angeles Lakers

FanDuel Price: $5,700

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

D'Angelo Russell has been maddeningly inconsistent this season. With a deep point guard player pool on Friday, it isn't likely that fitting him into lineups will be a priority for the masses.

Why You Should Use Him:

Russell has been the definition of inconsistency thus far in February (all season if we're being honest), with as many games of 33-plus FanDuel points as games under 16 FanDuel points (three). He did end the first half on a good note, posting 21 points and 33.8 FanDuel points, a performance he will look to build on in a terrific matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Russell Westbrook has the ability to be an elite defender, but his inconsistency on defense has resulted in Oklahoma City allowing the seventh-most FanDuel points to opposing point guards this season.

In addition to a plus-matchup, Russell should benefit from additional minutes and usage with Louis Williams traded to the Houston Rockets. Williams' 12.7 shot attempts per game led the Lakers this season, as did his 30.6% usage rate. So, there should be plenty of touches opened up for the Los Angeles guards going forward. Per nbawowy.com, Russell posted a 25.4% usage rate with Williams on the floor this season, which rose to a team-leading 27.4% without him.

With the potential for extended minutes and shot opportunities against Westbrook's defense, Russell is worth a look as a low-owned bounce-back option in tournaments.
