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

Dario Saric, PF, Philadelphia 76ers

FanDuel Price: $7,300

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Dario Saric was all the rage for a couple weeks, but following a complete dud in his last game, daily fantasy players might be wondering if he's really worth what his price tag has risen to.

With Paul Millsap just $200 more and in a good spot against the Kevin Love-less Cleveland Cavaliers along with Serge Ibaka, LaMarcus Aldridge, Kristaps Porzingis, and Enes Kanter all in good spots and cheaper than Saric, there's a good chance the rookie power forward gets held off more than a few rosters.

Why You Should Use Him:

Saric saw his minutes get cut in Philly's last game -- a blowout -- but prior to that, he enjoyed a seven-game stretch with averages of 32.3 minutes and 38.4 FanDuel points. In the three games leading up to his dud, he was really starting to look like the player Philly fans envisioned when they traded for him three years ago, averaging 20 points, 11 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 39.9 FanDuel points in 36 minutes per game.

He'll look to get back to that type of production against the New York Knicks in a game that he should see his normal minute allotment, as the Sixers are just two-point underdogs. New York has struggled against power forwards all season, allowing the sixth-most FanDuel points to the position, but it's possible they'll be even worse tonight.

Joakim Noah is out for the year and Guillermo Hernangomez is doubtful to play, meaning they will likely utilize an undersized starting frontcourt of Porzingis and Lance Thomas.

Per nbawowy.com, New York's respectable 11th-ranked rebounding rate (50%) drops to a much more pedestrian 23rd-ranked 49% with Noah and Hernangomez off the floor. The 6'8" 225-pound Thomas will have a tough time keeping the 6'10" 245-pound Saric off the glass. It's also worth noting that Thomas' -1.50 defensive real plus-minus (DRPM) would rank 92nd among 93 qualified power forwards.

Saric couldn't ask for much better of a matchup than this, and he is a prime bounce-back candidate. He's a viable play in all formats -- the possibility for low ownership is just an added bonus.
