DFS: Counterattack - Thursday's Top Contrarian Plays

Here are the top low-ownership options for Thursday, November 19:

PG Mo Williams, Cavaliers (vs Bucks)

Many DFS players will stay away from Williams due to Milwaukee's top-ranked defense against point guards. However, he's averaging over 15 points this season and shouldn't be overlooked.

Playing with LeBron James and Kevin Love has really opened up the floor for Williams. The 13-year veteran is shooting a career-high 47 per cent from the field and has 20 or more points in four of his last eight games.

PF Draymond Green, Warriors (at Clippers)

A matchup against Los Angeles' tough interior defense of Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan will steer DFS players far away from Green.

Green was one point and one rebound away from his third consecutive double-double on Tuesday against the Raptors. While Stephen Curry is obviously the focal point of the offense, allowing Green to work down low just opens up Golden State's perimeter game that much more.

As Andrew Bogut is eased back into action following a concussion, Green will continue to be the big guy Golden State looks for in the paint.

C Greg Monroe, Bucks (at Cavaliers)

Monroe is coming off his worst game of the season where he only had four points. Factor that in with a matchup against Cleveland's No. 1 defense against centers, and Monroe will have extremely low-ownership on Thursday.

Before his disastrous outing against Washington, Monroe had three straight double-doubles. His season average of 16.5 points and 9.7 rebounds gives him a good chance at a double-double every night.

He was signed in the offseason to not only be a leader, but the go-to-guy on offense. While Giannis Antetokounmpo has opened a lot of eyes with his great play, Monroe is still the guy the Bucks will look to in the clutch, and can always be looked upon in daily fantasy.
