Top Guards
| Player | Team | Opp. | DK $ | DK FPPG | FD $ | FD FPPG |
| Scotty Pippen Jr. | VAND | UGA | 9800 | 34.48 | 8500 | 31.68 |
| Pippen Jr. is rightfully the price king on both sites in a very favorable matchup here vs. Georgia’s bad defense and fast pace. The Vandy stud is averaging 24.4 PPG and 41 DK over the past ten games and had 23 points and 43 DK against UGA in the last matchup. His high usage and heavy shot volume give him a top-tier floor/ceiling combo on this slate. | ||||||
| Javon Freeman-Liberty | DPU | STJN | 9700 | 39.72 | ||
| When Freeman-Liberty faced St. John’s at the end of February, he smashed with 39 points and 62 DK in a high-scoring game. He also had 24 points and 37 DK in this matchup earlier this season. As DePaul’s alpha in a fast-paced environment, we can expect him to put up stud-level numbers once again like we’re used to from Freeman-Liberty. The DK price tag is high, but the floor/ceiling is among the best in the country. | ||||||
| Jared Rhoden | SHU | GU | 8200 | 30.53 | 7800 | 28.04 |
| The matchup vs. Georgetown is one we love to target for DFS, so let’s do it here with Rhoden. He’s taken on a bigger offensive role in Bryce Aiken’s absence and is averaging 17.2 PPG and 31.4 DK over the past ten games. Rhoden will benefit from a pace-boost against a struggling Hokies defense today and his cash floor is pretty comfortable. | ||||||
| Mark Smith | KSU | WVU | 7600 | 27.88 | ||
| On the DK slate, we have Kansas State getting a favorable matchup vs. West Virginia. Both Mark Smith and Nijel Pack are great plays here but Smith gets the slight nod being cheaper for similar production. He had 33 and 38 DK in two games vs. WVU this season and his rebounding ability gives him a solid floor. Smith would also get a bump if we get word that Markquis Nowell is out. | ||||||
Other Top Guards:
- Terrell Brown Jr. – Washington ($9,300 DK / $8,200 FD)
- Posh Alexander – St. John's ($8,500 DK Only)
- Aminu Mohammed – Georgetown ($8,000 DK / $8,300 FD)
- Boo Buie – Northwestern ($7,300 DK Only)
- Kihei Clark – Virginia ($6,600 DK / $5,500 FD)
Value Guards
| Player | Team | Opp. | DK $ | DK FPPG | FD $ | FD FPPG |
| Jaxon Etter | UGA | VAND | 4100 | 12.5 | 4500 | 11.48 |
| Etter was back in Georgia’s starting lineup the last two games and had 18 and 15 DK with the increased role. If you’re looking for a bargain play tonight, Etter isn’t bad as he had two solid performances vs. Vandy earlier this season with 26 and 18 DK in those games. We’ll take that all day at these cheap 4k-level prices. | ||||||
| El Ellis | UL | UV | 4000 | 14.18 | 4600 | 12.74 |
| Who knows what to expect from Louisville’s rotations anymore? If we go off yesterday’s game, Ellis led the team in usage rate (31%) and put up 24 DK while coming off the bench. He has been one of the Cardinals’ better players since the mid-season coaching change, but the playing time is tough to trust at this point. In a pace-down matchup vs. Virginia, he’s still an interesting GPP dart. | ||||||
| Jamir Harris | SHU | GU | 3400 | 12.01 | 5500 | 10.00 |
| Harris is playing a key role off the bench for Seton Hall with Bryce Aiken sidelined and he’ll also benefit from playing a poor Georgetown defense today. Harris put up 20 DK vs. the Hokies last matchup and just had 23 DK in the regular-season finale. The DK price tag is a great value, though he’s still affordable enough on FD. | ||||||
Other Value Guards:
- Myles Cale – Seton Hall ($5,800 DK / $5,100 FD)
- TJ Bamba – Washington State ($5,500 DK / $4,600 FD)
- Darius Maddox – Virginia Tech ($3,900 DK / $4,100 FD)
- Kody Stattmann – Virginia ($3,200 DK / $4,500 FD)
Top Forwards
| Player | Team | Opp. | DK $ | DK FPPG | FD $ | FD FPPG |
| David Jones | DPU | STJN | 8400 | 32.83 | ||
| Jones is the 1B to Freeman-Liberty in terms of DePaul’s DFS production and will also benefit from this favorable, fast-paced game environment vs. St. John’s. He went off for 24 points, 10 rebounds and 54 DK in this matchup not too long ago and had 35 DK vs. the Johnnies earlier this season. He could be hard to fade in cash on the DK slate. | ||||||
| PJ Hall | CLEM | VT | 7600 | 28.3 | 7600 | 26.49 |
| Hall returned to the Clemson starting lineup yesterday and smashed with 43 DK and a double-double. It’s a good sign for someone that was a DFS stud before his late-season foot injury. In limited playing time vs. Virginia Tech previously, Hall had 12 points and 18 DK over 13 minutes - so we know he can have success in this matchup if he gets a full workload now. | ||||||
| Jayden Gardner | UV | UL | 7400 | 27.58 | 7900 | 26.11 |
| Although Gardner had just 12 DK last game (against Louisville), he was on a tear beforehand. The Virginia power forward had at least 27 DK in the nine previous games and is averaging 32.7 DK over the past ten outings. Ideally, we get a bounceback performance from him today, though the prior struggles vs. the Cardinals are a bit concerning. | ||||||
| Pete Nance | NW | NEB | 7100 | 29.98 | ||
| On the DK slate, this matchup vs. Nebraska is a tasty one. The Cornhuskers struggle on defense and play fast, which sets up well for any opponent for DFS. Nance, meanwhile, is pretty affordable for a guy that just put up 48 DK in his last game and had 38 DK the last time he played Nebraska. He could be popular in cash at just over 7k on DK. | ||||||
Other Top Forwards:
- Kobe Brown – Missouri ($7,500 DK Only)
- Jordan Wright – Vanderbilt ($7,200 DK / $6,000 FD)
- John Harrar – Penn State ($7,000 DK / $7,500 FD)
- Nate Roberts – Washington ($5,700 DK / $7,400 FD)
Value Forwards
| Player | Team | Opp. | DK $ | DK FPPG | FD $ | FD FPPG |
| Efe Abogidi | WSU | CAL | 4900 | 20.12 | 5500 | 19.06 |
| Abogidi is weirdly underpriced today after going for 35 and 23 DK in his last two games. Even though he rarely cracks 25 minutes now, he’s been efficient DFS-wise when on the floor by averaging 19.5 DK over 20 minutes per game in the last ten outings. Abogidi smashed Cal the last time he faced them to the tune of 17 points, 11 rebounds and 43 DK. He also had 22 DK in the previous matchup vs. Cal. | ||||||
| Liam Robbins | VAND | UGA | 4500 | 15.56 | 5100 | 14.54 |
| Vandy’s center has been back playing for a month now after missing most of the season with an injury. He’s looking pretty comfortable and is a solid cash value in a favorable matchup vs. Georgia. Robbins has 21+ DK in three of the last five games and will benefit from facing a UGA squad that’s poor at rebounding and interior defense. | ||||||
| Ronnie DeGray III | MIZZ | MISS | 4100 | 18.37 | ||
| Even though DeGray comes off the bench for Missouri, he’s still regularly playing about 25 minutes per game and racks up enough stats to return value on this cheap price tag. He’s averaging 19.8 DK over the past ten games and has 20+ DK in six of the last 11. He’s also put up 23 and 25 DK in the two matchups vs. Ole Miss this season. The potential 5x return on DK is hard to ignore here. | ||||||
| Tyrese Samuel | SHU | GU | 3800 | 17.62 | 5000 | 15.50 |
| How about another Seton Hall player to finish up the playbook? Again, this matchup vs. Georgetown is one to target for DFS and Samuel is a bit too cheap for his upside – especially at sub-4k on DK. The big man has 17 DK or more in five straight games coming into tonight and should have enough rebounding and put-back opportunities for a decent floor in cash. | ||||||
