Miles McBrideWVUT870032.48800030.56
Miles McBride has surged up to one of the highest priced guards due to his recent play. In his last seven games, McBride has posted 30+ fantasy points 5 times and 25+ fantasy points in every game during the stretch. It is worth noting that in the first matchup against Texas he was held to 12 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists but that was a month and a half ago, McBride is a goodplay in GPP contests for both platforms.
Marcus CarrMINNILL820034.64  
Any time Marcus Carr is playing at The Barn he will be showing up in my playbook. The guy is one of the top guards in the country but he takes his game to the next level at home. The Canadian guard is averaging 22.9 ppg, 4 rpg and 5.6 apg at The Barn. In the first game against the Illini the Gophers got blown out but Carr still put together a solid slash line of 16/6/4. He is probably my favorite amongst the top priced guards this week.

James BouknightCONNNOVA640032.14710029,74
James Bouknight returned from injury earlier this week against Providence and dazzled in his return. The sophomore guard had 18 points off the bench and showed why he is one of the top guards in the country. Against Villanova expect Hurley to ramp up his minutes and expect him in the starting lineup. Think he is a must play on both platforms even though he carries a higher $7100 pricetag on FD.

Andrew JonesUTWVU750027.10600024.79
Andrew Jones has been hot scoring the basketball lately, averaging 22.3 ppg over his last 4 games. In a game that expects to be a track meet against WVU, expect Jones' hot streak to continue. In FanDuel his price is a bargain but keep in mind he is only G eligibile, while G/F eligibility on DK's platform.

Value Forwards
PlayerTeamOpp.DK $DK FPPGFD $FD FPPG
John FulkersonTENNUK580022.10  
John Fulkerson has had a bit of a down year for the Volunteers but he is coming off one of his best games of the year with 19 points and 6 rebounds against South Carolina. In the first game against Kentucky Fulk was held without a single point but battled foul trouble and only played 10 minutes. He should have a plus matchup down low against Olivier Sarr, as long as he can stay out of foul trouble he should be a nice value play in DK.
Jeremiah TilmonMIZZSCAR570027.84620025.98
 
Marcus Santos-SilvaTTUKU490020.56600019.36
Marcus Santos-Silva is a nice filler in your lineup if you are paying up for one of the big forwards or guards. The transfer from Wichita St is averaging 8.2 ppg and 6.2 rpg. In the first game against Kansas Santos-Silva was held scoreless but he dealt with foul trouble and played only 19 mintues. He still was able to grab 5 rebounds and get 3 assists as well. Look for Chris Beard to give Santos-Silva a good chance to succeed against KU, as long as he stays out of foul trouble.
Scottie LewisUFUGA480022.46  
Scottie Lewis has been in a bit of a slump, only reaching double-figures scoring once in his last 6 games. Compare that to him reaching double-figures in 5 of the Gators first 6 games. Georgia's defense ranks 130th in KenPom's defensive efficiency so look for a bounce back game from Scottie.
