TOP GUARDS

Kendric Davis (SMU) Opp MEM ($8.6K DK)

Davis just won the AAC Player of the Year award as he attempts to bring SMU back to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2017. He finished the regular season as the conference’s leader in points-per-game for the second season in a row (19.5) and was third in assists (4.6). He opened the AAC tourney last night and was firing from all cylinders, taking 23 shots, and ending with 18 points, five assists and four steals (48 DKFP). Today, he faces a strong Memphis defense, but he has already shown that he can handle it by a 21-point game (39 DKFP) last month. 

 

 

Opp @IOWA ($7.2K DK/7.2K FD)

Johnson has become the most important player of this Hoosier team that is getting hot at the right time after big wins over Michigan and Illinois. His intensity and leadership plus his play in transition has been key to this late season run. He is carrying a 30% usage rate along with a 19 point, 6.4 assist and 37 DKFP average over the last five games and will be involved in a pace up game today with Iowa (69.9% adjusted tempo).

 

Other Top Guards

Kyler Edwards (UH) - $7.6K DK

Jaden Ivey (PUR) - $7.7K DK/7.5K FD *27.9% usage/27.7% shot rate

Michael Weathers (SMU) - $7.1K DK

Jamal Shead (UH) - $7.0K DK *34.5% assist rate (23rd)

TyTy Washington (UK) - $6.1K DK/5.7K FD

 

TOP GUARD VALUE

Jadan Coleman (Tulane) Opp @UH ($4.0K) 

Coleman got the start last night for injured Jalen Cook and played 30 minutes - the most important number when looking at cheap value plays. He did not have the greatest offensive night (five points and three assists), but he did put up 10 shots and any time that a player starts and plays 30 minutes means opportunity to at least get to 4X value. Cook is a game-time decision today and reports lean towards the doubtful side, so Coleman may get his second straight start and it was only a week ago that he lit up SMU for 19 points (24 DKFP).

 

Other Guard Value

Zach Nutall G/F (SMU) - $3.7K DK *Got first start last night and played 33 minutes - in play if starts again

Rob Phinisee (IU) - $3.1K DK/3.2K FD *Back from injury and has seen minutes jump every game (25 last night)

Chris Lykes (ARK) - $3.8K DK/4.9K FD *Has played 25 and 29 mins last two games with 26 and 28 DKFP, respectively - if he gets those minutes again, he’s the top value

Alex Lomax G/F - (MEM) $4.8K DK

Wade Taylor (TA&M) - $4.5K DK/4.5K FD *Coming off one of best games of season against Auburn; 33 minutes, 9 points, 7 rebounds

Santiago Vescovi (TENN) - $5.4K FD *Top FanDuel guard value

 

TOP FORWARDS

 

Opp @TENN ($10.2K DK/9.3K FD)

Last night was considered an “off night” for the Big O and he still made 4X value. The #1 rated KenPom player in the entire nation is ranked first in both offensive and defensive rebounding plus has an incredible 55.5% combined rate. Tennessee has an elite defense, but this guy is matchup proof, and he already has 27 boards in the prior two regular season contests with the Vols. If you have the money, you spend it on Tshiebwe.

 

Opp @IOWA ($7.9K DK/8.3K FD)

TJD is burying ghosts this weekend - first it was Hunter Dickinson and Michigan, yesterday was #1 seeded Illinois and Kofi Cockburn, and today, he goes at Iowa and Keegan Murray. Yesterday was vintage TJD as he avenged two earlier meetings with Kofi where he was clearly outplayed. This time was different as he went at Cockburn in the post and the second-team All-Big Ten forward scored 21 points on nine-of-13 shooting. It's another tough matchup with Murray, but a sub-$8K TJD is sweet in all formats.
 

Other Top Forwards

Keegan Murray (IOWA) - $9.9K DK/9.0K FD *47 DKFP average last five games and in Tshiebwe category - one of best in nation

Jaylin Williams (ARK) - $8K DK/7.8K FD *14 points and 11 rebounds in last five games - solid price and main team cash play

Fabian White (UH) - $7.8K DK *Has been on a heater and playable all formats

Trevion Williams (PUR) - $6.5K DK/5.8K FD *Too cheap but GPP only due to mins

DeAndre Williams (MEM) - $6.2K DK *Guys like Williams live for March - team leader

 

TOP FORWARD VALUE

Alex Lomax G/F (Memphis) Opp @SMU ($4.8K DK)

It is hard to trust anyone from a Penny Hardaway rotation, but Lomax’s minutes seem to have settled in around 30. Over the last 10 games he is averaging 27 minutes of playing time and should expect the same as they go deeper into the conference tournament. Over the last three he has put up 26.5, 26.8 and 19.8 DKFP plus is carrying a 25.8 assist rate (155th). 
 

Other Forward Values

Zach Nutall G/F (SMU) - $3.7K DK *Got first start last night and played 33 mins- in play if starts again

Uros Plavsic (TENN) - $3.2K DK/4.0K FD *6 rebounds and 14 minutes in last five games

Mason Gillis (PUR) - $4.0K DK/4.2K FD

Max Christie G/F (MSU) - $4.4K DK/4.6K FD
