3 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Basketball Plays for 4/12/17

Courtney Lee, SG, New York Knicks

FanDuel Price: $4,800

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

The New York Knicks are sitting every one of their regular starters tonight -- every starter but Courtney Lee, that is. So, he will surely be a popular option, right? Well, there are tons of viable shooting guard options on tonight's 14-game slate. The mid-range is especially loaded, as Gary Harris, Tim Hardaway Jr., Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot, and Victor Oladipo all should be popular plays.

Why You Should Use Him:

Lee has been one of the few steadying presences for the Knicks this year, and his finish to the season has been no exception. Over his past six games, he has averaged a useful 26.4 FanDuel points in 31.5 minutes per game. The Knicks will need him to contribute tonight as he will be part of a starting lineup that likely will feature four other players who have averaged a combined 5.4 points per game this season.

You'd expect Lee to see a huge increase in usage, which is backed up by the numbers. No New York player has seen a bigger boost without the likes of Derrick Rose, Carmelo Anthony, Lance Thomas, Kristaps Porzingis, and Joakim Noah than Lee, who has seen his usage rate rise by 7.9% and his FanDuel points per minute rise by 0.16.

Lee should have no trouble turning the increased role into increased production as the Knicks square off with the Philadelphia 76ers in tonight's tankfest. He is a viable play in all formats.
