3 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Basketball Plays for 3/31/17

Tobias Harris, PF, Detroit Pistons

FanDuel Price: $5,400

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Both Nikola Jokic and Draymond Green find themselves in great spots tonight and should see a fair chunk of ownership at the top end. There are also several appealing cheaper options sprinkled in at the position that will keep Tobias Harris' ownership down, especially after he struggled last night in a dream matchup against the Brooklyn Nets.

Why You Should Use Him:

On a night where most will be talking about Cousins' revenge game against the Kings, don't forget about the throwback Tobias Harris revenge game against the Milwaukee Bucks! Milwaukee was the first team to give up on Harris, shipping him away for essentially nothing early in his career.

Revenge narratives are fun and all, but what is really important in this one is how well this matchup fits Harris' skillset. Milwaukee has struggled to rebound the ball, ranking 24th in rebounding rate. They also have struggled against opposing shooters, coming in as one of just eight teams to allow opposing teams to knock down double-digit threes against them per game this season. Milwaukee also allowed the most points to opposing spot-up shooters this season and last.

It may come as a surprise, but Harris ranks fourth in the league in points as a spot-up shooter and leads all Detroit players by over 100 points in that category. Harris has shown the ability to get hot against Milwaukee's perimeter defense, dropping 23 points and 38.4 FanDuel points against them earlier in the year.

That was one of eight games with over 38 FanDuel points this season, so the upside is certainly there for Harris, even in a sometimes limited role for Detroit. He will look to reach that upside once again and is a viable tournament play at his discounted price tag.
