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

Stephen Curry, PG, Golden State Warriors

FanDuel Price: $10,600

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

The point guard position is surprisingly loaded for a three-game slate -- five of the six teams playing have point guards averaging over 35 FanDuel points, while five of the six teams also rank in the bottom half of the league in FanDuel points allowed to opposing point guards. If paying all the way up at the position, daily fantasy players are more likely to chase Russell Westbrook.

Why? Well, he's triple-doubled in four straight games, a stretch during which he has averaged 66.5 FanDuel points.

Paying for both Westbrook and Stephen Curry leaves you very shorthanded from a salary standpoint, so daily fantasy players will likely be left choosing between the likes of Damian Lillard, Eric Bledsoe, and Kemba Walker, all of whom are playing well recently and find themselves in advantageous matchups.

Curry has also disappointed in some good spots recently, including 32.8 FanDuel points against the Philadelphia 76ers and "just" 42.5 against the Brooklyn Nets, a game in which he played without Kevin Durant. So, even with Durant out tonight and the Golden State Warriors in a good spot against the Chicago Bulls, Curry isn't likely to be an overly popular.

Why You Should Use Him:

While Curry's numbers haven't jumped off the page, his FanDuel average (42.7) since the All-Star break is actually up from his season average. Even more exciting are his numbers with Durant off the floor.

Per Rotogrinders' Court IQ, Curry has maintained a ridiculous 36.6% usage rate and 1.40 FanDuel points per minute when he hasn't had to share the floor with Durant, a boost of 6.2% usage and 0.18 FanDuel points per minute.

He'll look to take advantage of the increased role against the Bulls, who have the second-worst defense against point guards on this small slate. They have allowed the eighth-most FanDuel points to the position, and with Rajon Rondo seeing more minutes recently, this is one of the best matchups on the night.

Curry has shown the ability to bust, but his upside in this matchup is immense. Six of his past 13 games have went for over 50 FanDuel points, two of which went for 60-plus. Given Westbrook's floor, he is probably the better option in cash games, but Curry has the ability to crush value with Durant out of the lineup. Give him a look in tournaments.
