TOP GUARDS
JD Notae (Arkansas) Opp @BAMA ($8.2K DK/8.5K FD)
Notae just keeps stealing the show and he did again Tuesday night when Arkansas knocked off #1 Auburn. He finished with 28 points as the team leaned on their star, taking 20 shots, and going to the line 14 times. His ability to get shots up puts so much pressure on a defense as he leads the SEC in scoring (19.1) but Notae’s also become an elite defender with a conference-leading 2.4 steals per game. With two 50 DKFP games out of his last three and nine players priced higher, this makes Notae one of the top overall guards on the slate.
Johnny Davis (Wisconsin) Opp RU ($8.3K DK/8.2K FD)
Davis is the main reason that Wisconsin has exceeded everyone’s expectations this season. He is playing at an All-American level and is in contention for Big Ten Player of the Year and National Player of the Year honors. Nobody on Rutgers can stop Davis as he is scoring at a 20.8 point, 8.2 boards, and 2.5 assist clip on the season. When you see a player with those numbers along with a 31.6% usage and 32.2% shot rate, he has to be considered as an anchor in your lineups.
Caleb Mills (Florida State) Opp @UNC ($6.5K DK/6.7K FD)
Florida State is going through its worst rash of injuries in the last 10 years or more, forcing Mills to play as many minutes as possible and become the team's alpha. With three straight games over 30 minutes, Mills is carrying a 30% usage rate over the last five games while scoring at a 14.2-point clip and 30 DKFP. This is the third-highest scoring game on the slate and Mills is a steal on both sites in a pace-up spot against UNC.

TOP GUARD VALUES
Elijah Harkless (Oklahoma) Opp @KU ($5.1K DK/5.5K FD)
The senior guard has become a two-way threat for the Sooners this season. After struggling in mid-January where he was eventually sent to the bench, Harkless has recently turned his season around. It started against TCU where he came off the bench for 13 points in 26 minutes (after two games without taking a shot off the bench). He won the starting job back and has played 35+ minutes over his last two games with a 26 FP average.
James Reese V (South Carolina) Opp @UGA ($4.9K DK)
Reese has become a pivotal part of the Gamecock program since day one in his first year as a transfer. He is second on the team in scoring (10.5) and leads the team in minutes played (30.0). In conference play, either Reese or fellow transfer Erik Stevenson have been the leading scorer in eight of the 11 games played. Today, he gets a pace-up game against a Georgia team that SC has beaten 11 straight times. Georgia has the 81st-ranked adjusted-tempo offense in the nation (69.3) while South Carolina sits at 53rd at 70.3. This could end up being the sneaky DFS game of the slate.

- Anthony Walker (MIA) $4.1K DK * if Jordan Miller is out Walker becomes a top value

- Jaxon Etter (UGA) $4.0K DK
- Christian Bishop G/F (UT) $4.8K DK/5.6K FD
TOP FORWARDS
Walker Kessler (Auburn) Opp TA&M ($9.1K DK/8.7K FD)
Kessler is on a roll. Two 50 fantasy point games out of his last three which included 19 blocks and 40 rebounds! During his 24 games at Auburn after transferring from North Carolina, Walker is averaging 11.6 points and 8.4 rebounds a game and 14.8 points and 12.2 boards over his last five. Today, he gets a home game against Texas A&M and is viable in all formats.
Trayce Jackson-Davis (Indiana) Opp @MSU ($8.1K DK/8.3K FD)
This is the lowest that we have seen Jackson-Davis’ salary since December 8th, yet he has only been below 34 DKFP once in his last five games - the Illinois contest last Saturday when he ran into foul trouble early. He is the star of this Hoosier team with a 26.3% usage, 26.7% shot, and 30% combined rebounding rate. His 9.4% block rate is top-40 in the nation and Michigan State is allowing opposing big men to average over 30 DKFP a game. A buy-low spot here on one of the best players in the Big Ten.
David McCormack (Kansas) Opp OU ($6.5K DK)
McCormack has a reputation as a GPP only play. He's a player that will hurt you with fouls and the one day that you don’t play him, he will go off for a huge game. We may be seeing a change of the tide here as Big Dave is only carrying a 3.8 FC (Fouls committed per 40 mins) and he is the team usage leader with a 24.9% rate. Better yet, he is #1 in the nation with a 19.7% offensive rebounding rate and is finally “cash game” minutes with 30+ in two of his last three games. He has cracked double-digits in scoring in four of KU’s last six games while adding 29 rebounds in his past three.

TOP FORWARD VALUES
Keyshawn Bryant (South Carolina) Opp @UGA ($4.6K DK)
Value will be at a premium today and Bryant and/or Reese from South Carolina will be the popular plays. Bryant is coming off his best game of the season where he put up 17 points and 14 rebounds (41 DKFP) against Kentucky and seems to be finally healthy. This game does profile well for Bryant as it is a pace-up with two high-tempo teams and a 147.5 total score. Be forewarned though that this is still a Frank Martin coached team and minutes are not guaranteed.
