TOP GUARDS
Buddy Boeheim (Syracuse) Opp GT ($8.5K DK)
High paced matchup tonight in the Carrier Dome as Georgia Tech and Syracuse carry one of the highest implied totals of the slate and both squads are led by stud guards- Boeheim and Michael Devoe. 49% of Boeheim’s shots come from beyond the arc – and that’s fine because he’s averaging 19.2 points per game by shooting over defenders. He’s averaging 2.8 3-pointers per game plus is shooting 89% from the free-throw line. One of the most dangerous shooters in the nation is in play tonight- especially GPPs.
Michael Devoe (Georgia Tech) Opp @SYR ($8.2K DK)
Be ready for a shootout in the Dome tonight as two high-tempo offenses face off. Devoe is the primary creator on this Yellow Jacket squad as he is an on the ball one-man offense who picks up speed as he explodes to the rim or in give and go situations. He can also score off the catch and leads the team with a 27.3% usage, 28.6% shot, and 20.4% assist rate. Perfect game stack opportunity with both Boeheim and Devoe in your lineup.
Other Top Guards
Michael Devoe (GT) $8.2K DK *28% usage/shot L5 in high pace matchup with SYR
James Akinjo (BUT) $7.5K DK/7.5K FD * Volatile but can nuke slate
Joseph Girard III (SYR) $7.3K DK *26% usage L5; 3 30+ DKFP L5- Tech will be focused on stopping Boeheim
Taz Sherman (WV) $7.3K DK/5.8K FD * Nice FD value
TOP GUARD VALUES
Cam’Ron Fletcher (Florida State) Opp @BC ($6.0K DK)
$6K is not exactly bargain basement but on a slate like tonight, Fletcher can be considered value. Caleb Mills is doubtful, and Ray’Quan Evans is a GTD and if one or both are out again Fletcher will have all the minutes, he can handle tonight against Boston College. The UK transfer is the Seminole’s sixth man and has smashed in three straight games with DKFP totals of 36.5, 33.5, and 28.0. A fearless, competitive player that is high energy, Fletcher should make 4-5X value again tonight.
Dale Bonner (Baylor) Opp @OKST ($3.9K DK/4.6K DK)
Bonner is in play tonight if both Adam Flagler (knee) and LJ Cryer (foot) are ruled out again. He started on Saturday against TCU and played nearly every minute possible (37) scoring five points, a rebound, an assist, and four steals. Not exactly stat-stuffing numbers but any time you get a player near minimum price playing the entire game you have a solid value. Be sure to check our CBB Discord room for updated news tonight.
Other Value Guards
Brevin Galloway (BC) $4.7K DK
Kedrian Johnson (WVU) $4.5K DK/4.3K FD
TOP FORWARDS
Armando Bacot (North Carolina) Opp UL ($8.8K DK/8.5K FD)
With his 20th double-double of the season, 12 points, and 15 rebounds against Virginia Tech on Saturday, Bacot became the sixth player in North Carolina history to record the feat. With a 25% usage and 23.8% shot rate plus a combined elite 44.8% rebounding rate Bacot is the top overall play on tonight’s slate against Louisville’s 156th ranked defense.
Caleb Love G/F (North Carolina) Opp UL ($7.2K DK/6.5K FD)
Big bounce-back win on Saturday for Love and North Carolina with a road win over Virginia Tech in Blacksburg. Love led UNC with 21 points (6-for-12) and a season-high seven assists. Carolina is 8-0 this season and 10-0 in two seasons when Love scores 20 or more points. Still a bit inconsistent but Love is gifted, and he can get to the rim, distribute, and can shoot from the perimeter both off the step back and bounce. With a 25% usage and shot rate, Love is one of the better point-per-dollar plays of the slate.
Other Top Forwards
EJ Liddell (OSU) $9.5K DK/8.2K FD * 3rd ranked KenPom player in nation; 31.3% usage/29.8% shot rate- Top FD Forward
Trayce Jackson-Davis (IU) $9.0K DK8.3K FD
Cole Swider (SU) $7.6K DS * with Edwards out for the season now has 37+ DKFP in 2 of last 3 games
Brady Manek (UNC) $7.4K DK/6.6K FD
Jeremy Sochan G/F (BAY) $6.6K DK/6.3K FD * upgrade if Flagler out again
TOP FORWARD VALUES
Rodney Howard (GT) Opp @SYR ($4.5K DK)
Howard seems to have finally become the consistent third scorer that Georgia Tech has been looking for all season. He began the season strong as a starter but really struggled against strong nonconference opponents and then hurt his ankle. After struggling more again on his return it seems like Howard is finally finding his form over the last three games, especially in the Pittsburgh and NC State games when he matched his career scoring high of 14 points in both. He now will be in what should be one of the highest-scoring games of the night against Syracuse.
Frank Anslem (Syracuse) Opp GT ($3.9K DK)
By now you can tell what game we are attacking tonight. Jesse Edwards is out for the season and Anslem has entered the spotlight for the Orange. He will be the last line of off-ball resistance against a slashing Georgia Tech offense but has done fine since joining the starting lineup with a nine-rebound average over his last five games. Foul troubles and the slow return of Bourama Sidibe make Anslem a bit volatile but at only $3.9K he is well worth the risk.
Other Forward Values
Malik Williams (UL) $5.6K DK/5.3K * is back in good graces with staff for one game but how long will it continue? Could get a huge return if playing in GPP

Flo Thamba (BAY) $5.8K DK/5.5K FD
Kalib Boone (OKST) $4.0K DK/3.8K FD
