3 Under-the-Radar Daily Fantasy Basketball Plays for 2/8/17

Jeff Teague, PG, Indiana Pacers

FanDuel Price: $7,400

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Point guard always seems to be a loaded position, but on a slate of this size, trying to predict who will carry the highest ownership is truly a headache.

To name a few, John Wall, Isaiah Thomas, Mike Conley, and George Hill are all in terrific spots and are likely to deflect a lot of ownership from Jeff Teague, who hasn't been playing quite up to his standards lately.

Why You Should Use Him:

There have been a few clunkers thrown in there, but overall, Teague has played well over the past couple weeks, averaging 36.4 FanDuel points during his past seven games. He's also shown elite upside, with 6 of his past 11 games going for 39 or more FanDuel points, which is exactly what we're looking for in our tournament plays.

It's a bit risky in hoping to hit on the positive side of variance with Teague, but given his individual matchup against Kyrie Irving, Wednesday seems like as good a spot as any for a bounce back. Irving's defensive real plus-minus (DRPM) of -1.16 ranks 50th among point guards, and the Cleveland Cavaliers have allowed the sixth-most FanDuel points per game to opposing point guards.

In three meetings with Irving over the past two seasons, Teague has averaged 40.5 FanDuel points.

Despite his struggles from the field recently, Teague hasn't deferred, instead looking more aggressively for his shot. He has 39 field goal attempts over the past 3 games and has made it to the free throw line 21 times. If he continues to be in attack mode on offense, there's a good bet more of those shots find the bottom of the net against Irving's defense.

Teague's game has been too volatile to consider him in cash games tonight, but he is an excellent tournament pivot off some higher-owned point guards.
