Top Guards
PlayerTeamOpp.DK $DK FPPGFD $FD FPPG
Johnny JuzangUCLABAMA740025.18610023.07
It is a bit of a surprise that a guy scoring around 25 fppg would be the top guard on the playbook but Juzang has been that good this tournament. In three games this tournament the Kentucky transfer has been money for the Bruins scoring 67 points in 3 games. He has also chipped in on he glass with 12 rebounds over that span. Against a high octane Alabama offemse expect the Bruins to continue to rely on Juzang for scoring production.
Chris DuarteOREUSC730031.80750029.22
Chris Duarte is the type of guard that has the ability to show out in teh NCAA Tournament. In Oregon's first and only game this touramanet Durate was fantastic. Durate finished with 23 points, 7 assists and 3 rebounds, pacing the Ducks to sprint past the Iowa Hawkeyes. In a loss to USC earlier this year he was ok with 11 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists but he only shot the ball eight times. Look for him to be more aggressive this time around. Teammate Will Richardson is a fantastic paydown option as well at $6800 DK / $5500 FD.
Joel AyayiGONZCRE710027.89790028.09
Gonzaga has so many options offensively that it could create a great opportunity for Ayayi. Ayayi most likely will draw Mitch Ballock on defense, who is probably Creighton's worst defender. Joel is also just a very steady fantasy performer due to his ability to rebound out of the guard position with 7.3 rpg. He also has posted at leas 20 fantasy points in 8 of his last 10 games. Think Ayayi is a good cash play, especially in DK.
Marcus ZegarowskiCREGONZ700030.00720025.15
Creighton has kind of flipped the script so far this tournament and become a more defensive minded team. In their two wins they've given up a total 120 points, yet Marcus Zegarowski still paces the offense. Zegarowski has scored 27 points, dished out 10 assists and added 5 rebounds. Against Gonzaga Creighton wont be able to slow down their offense thus they will have to rely heavily on Zegarowski to fuel their offense.

John Petty Jr.BAMAUCLA600025.77600023.32
John Petty Jr. has great value in this slate due to his ability to impact the game in the scoring and rebounding department. Petty Jr. is averaging 12.5 ppg and 5.3 rpg on the year. So far in the NCAA tournament he has upped those to 15 ppg and 6.5 rpg. Petty Jr is an excellent value play for GPP contests on both platforms.
Tahj EaddyUSCORE570023.00540021.13
Lost in the shuffle of USC's great, lengthy frontcourt has been the play of 6-2 guard Tahj Eaddy. Eaddy has only scored 21 points in 2 games this tournament but has also added 13 assists and 10 rebounds. He also went off in the only meeting against Oregon this year with 24 points.
Scottie BarnesFSUMICH550024.58560022.98
Scottie Barnes has yet to really show up this NCAA Tournament and his pricetag has shown that. The freshman phenom has only tallied 10 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, plus has added 8 turnovers in the two games. However Barnes has been a good fantasy performer all year and he should matchup well against Michigan's smaller guards. Take a flyer on Barnes in a cash game.


Other Guards to Consider

  • Will Richardson - Oregon - $6800 DK / $5500 FD
  • Eli Brooks - Michigan - $6700 DK / $5800 FD
  • Jaden Shackelford - Alabama - $6400 DK / $5600 FD

Top Forwards
PlayerTeamOpp.DK $DK FPPGFD $FD FPPG
Evan MobleyUSCORE850038.22900035.83
Evan Mobley earns the top spot for forwards on both platform's slate due to his abilty to score in the paint and dominate on defense. In Mobley's last 4 games he has averaged 19.75 ppg, 10.5 rpg and 4 bpg. In a blow out win against Oregon earlier this year Mobley was a bit quiet with 11 points and 5 rebounds. With a lot of value on the forward position, I may not invest on the FanDuel pricetag but he'sdefinitely worthy in DK.
Drew TimmeGONZCRE820033.59840031.99
Drew Timme absolutely abused Brady Manek and OU's frontcourt in Gonzaga's Round of 32 victory. Timme finished with a career-high 30 points and added 13 rebounds. Manek had the size but couldn't deal with Timme's quickness with his footwork. Christian Bishop presents a different challenge, as he is a more mobile big but may not have the size to contend with Timme in the post. In a game that should be pretty high scoring, look for Drew TImme to continue is dominate ways.
Franz WagnerMICHFSU780029.90730032.38
Franz Wagner seems like a player that would be a great fit on FSU, with his length and abiltiy to impact the game in numerous statistical categories. Wagner absolutely stuffs the stat sheet with 12.8 ppg, 6.3 rpg, 3 apg, 1 bpg and 1.3 spg. In a game that should be on the lower scoring end of the slate, Wagner's versailty makes him an excellent play. Look to get Wagner in your lineups, especially in GPP contests.
Eugene OmoruyiOREUSC760030.50780028.14
The Oregon Ducks sure do love their Canadian forwards and Eugene Omoruyi is no exception. Omoruyi has averaged 16.7 ppg, 5.3 rpg and 2.3 apg. In this game USC's length does concern me with Omoruyi only listed at 6-6 and it certainly showed in the game against the Trojans earlier this year. Omoruyi only scored 9 points and grabbed 3 rebounds in the loss against USC but in the second time around look for the Ducks to try and make adjustments to get him more involved.
Corey KispertGONZCRE750031.14720028.76
Creighton has actually been pretty solid defending the perimeter this season, allowing oppenents to shoot at a 31.5% clip from deep. However they haven't faced a shooter like Corey Kispert. Kispert shot a sizziling 46% from deep this year on 6.4 3pt attempts per game. He is also just an efficient shooter from anywhere on the court shooting 54.5% from the floor on the year. Expect Kispert to knock down his share of shots in a up-and-down game.

Jaime Jaquez Jr.UCLABAMA660024.40640024.16
Jaime Jaquez Jr. has come back down to earth after his dominate performance against Michigan St in the First Four. However he has still been a vital piece to the Bruins run to the Sweet 16. Since the First Four, Jaquez has scored only 23 points but added 15 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks. In a game that should be up-and-down and Jaquez being one of UCLA's top scoring options think he presents good value. Keep in mind he is only listed as a guard in FD.
RaiQuan GrayFSUMICH620026.90590025.10
RaiQuan Gray was great in the Seminoles opener against UNCG with 17 points and 7 rebounds, however against a Colorado team where he should have had similar success he only posted 9 points and 6 rebounds. The matchup against Hunter Dickinson is an interesting one because Gray will give up serious height. However I still love his value due to his playing time. Gray is second on the Noles in minutes played and Leonard Hamilton plays him a lot for a guy that loves to sub guys in and out.
Balsa KoprivicaFSUMICH510020.4540019.27
With RaiQuan Gray giving up inches to Dickinson, Balsa Koprivica could see some serious minutes in this one, maybe with Gray moving to the 4. Consider this against UNC in the ACC tournament Balsa played 28 minutes and dominated with 17 points, 11 rebounds and 4 blocks. Balsa could be an absolute steal on this slate in a cash game.
Denzel MahoneyCREGONZ470023.47460017.62
Denzel Mahoney may have the best value on the slate with a dirt cheap pricetag of $4700 on DK and $4600 in FD. Under the $5000 mark you really arent going to find a starter that produces like Mahoney. Mahoney averages 30+ mpg this year and so far in the NCAA tournament is averaging 12.5 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists. Get Mahoney in a cash lineup.
