3 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Basketball Plays for 3/21/17

Marc Gasol, C, Memphis Grizzlies

FanDuel Price: $7,900

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Since he plays for the Memphis Grizzlies, which comes with a slower pace and a low-scoring offense, Marc Gasol is often lost in the crowd of DFS options. This particularly happens with loads of choices at center, like in Tuesday's busy eight-game slate.

Hassan Whiteside costs only $800 more than him and has a favorable matchup with the Phoenix Suns. The same can be said for Andre Drummond, who will matchup with the Brooklyn Nets and costs $100 less. For those looking to go cheap, youngsters Alex Len and Ivica Zubac will get plenty of run at nearly half the cost of the Grizzlies' big man.

Why You Should Use Him:

Over his last 15 games, Gasol has ratcheted up his all-around play, averaging 17.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 6.1 assists. Just two games ago, he recorded his second triple-double of the season. In the last five weeks, the three-time All-Star has recorded at least 30 FanDuel points in 12 contests, including 6 games of 40 or more fantasy points. Since February 10, he is averaging a cool 35.6 fantasy points per night.

Tuesday also brings a matchup with one of Gasol's favorite punching bags, the New Orleans Pelicans.

In his three previous meetings with the Pels this season, the Grizzlies' center has nearly averaged a triple-double with 17.0 points, 11.3 rebounds, 8.7 assists, and 47.9 fantasy points per game. In fact, back on December 5 against New Orleans, he recorded his first triple-double of the season as he posted his best fantasy night of the year (62.7 FanDuel points).

After the two teams last met, the Pelicans added DeMarcus Cousins in the middle. While it seems daunting, his presence won't impact Gasol's performance much -- when he played Cousins and the Sacramento Kings twice before, the Spaniard still averaged 40.5 fantasy points.
