NBA
3 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Basketball Plays for 3/27/17
George Hill should thrive in an advantageous matchup against the Pelicans, but a deep point guard player pool could keep his ownership down.

Seth Curry, SG, Dallas Mavericks

FanDuel Price: $5,300

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Seth Curry has really struggled in the last couple months and won't be overly popular tonight despite his recent expanded role. The likes of DeMar DeRozan and Buddy Hield are probably going to be the most popular pairing at the position and should keep Curry's ownership down.

Why You Should Use Him:

Head coach Rick Carlisle mentioned he wanted to get Curry more playing time at point guard, which has led to more minutes and production in his past two games. He's averaged 32.5 minutes and 23.4 FanDuel points in the past two Dallas Mavericks games, and he should be looking at a similar role tonight.

The recent position change should be especially helpful to Curry in this particular matchup, as it means he will likely spend more time being defended by Russell Westbrook, who has been a liability on the defense -- Westbrook has a defensive real plus-minus of -0.19 this season.

Curry has already displayed the upside to exceed value at his new position, putting up 29.6 FanDuel points in his first start at point guard, along with six games of 35-plus FanDuel points on his ledger this season. He's tough to stomach in cash games with two single-digit finishes in his last five games, but the matchup provides plenty of upside for tournament consideration.
