Top Guards
| Player | Team | Opp. | DK $ | DK FPPG | FD $ | FD FPPG |
| Scotty Pippen Jr. | VAND | BAMA | 8800 | 32.93 | 8200 | 30.30 |
| Pippen Jr. has become very hard to fade any time he’s on the slate. The Vandy point guard is averaging 20.6 PPG and 36 DK over the past ten games and has put up at least 31 DK in seven straight. Now he gets a pace-boost vs. Alabama’s shaky defense? Sign me up! The heavy usage and shot volume keeps his cash floor very high compared to other studs in action. | ||||||
| Grant Sherfield | NEV | UNLV | 8400 | 34.27 | ||
| In the DK late-night hammer game, we have a few studs worth considering. UNLV’s Bryce Hamilton and Nevada’s Desmond Cambridge Jr. are both firmly in play. Sherfield, though, is the cheapest of the three and he should probably be the most expensive. The Nevada point guard is now fully back from his recent foot injury and he’s been stuffing the stat sheet, with 20+ points scored and 36+ DK in three straight coming into tonight. He should keep it going in a high-total matchup tonight. | ||||||
| JD Notae | ARK | UF | 8300 | 34.85 | 7800 | 32.09 |
| Notae is coming off an uncharacteristic 16 DK effort vs. Tennessee on Saturday, but we should expect a bounceback in a slightly better matchup tonight. Arkansas’ alpha offensive playmaker is still averaging 18 PPG and 34 DK over the past ten games and he should anchor your cash lineups without much worry tonight. | ||||||
| Jaden Shackelford | BAMA | VAND | 7900 | 29.25 | 7100 | 26.28 |
| Though Shackelford has been inconsistent in real life and DFS lately, he should have no issues getting back to stud form tonight against Vandy’s subpar defense. Shackelford’s poor outings recently have come against the tougher defenses of Arkansas, Kentucky and Mississippi St. The Bama wing scorer is still averaging 18.8 PPG and 31 DK over the past ten games and has actually performed better on the road than at home during conference play. He's a nice bargain on FD with that price differential. | ||||||

Value Guards
| Player | Team | Opp. | DK $ | DK FPPG | FD $ | FD FPPG |
| Tyree Appleby | UF | ARK | 5100 | 21.58 | 5400 | 19.26 |
| Appleby is coming off a career day vs. Auburn on Saturday when he dropped 26 points and 32 DK in the upset win. Though we can’t realistically expect a repeat tonight, it’s obviously a good sign. Appleby will at least benefit from a pace-boost matchup vs. Arkansas as he runs the point for Florida. The floor should be perfectly fine for cash and 4x return on both sites. | ||||||
| Dajuan Harris Jr. | KU | KSU | 5100 | 16.62 | 5000 | 15.53 |
| As long as Remy Martin remains out for Kansas, the DFS floor should be just high enough for Harris Jr. to be a cash value. He’s locked in to 30+ minutes in KU’s backcourt and that consistent playing time gives him just enough opportunities at ancillary stats to remain relevant at some affordable price tags in the low-5k range. He had 18 DK vs. Kansas St in the first meeting, FWIW. | ||||||
| Adonis Arms | TTU | OU | 4900 | 18.85 | 5100 | 17.14 |
| Kevin McCullar will be a game-time decision for Texas Tech tonight, but Arms and Terrence Shannon Jr. would both be nice values once again if McCullar sits. Arms, specifically, has seen a notable uptick in playing time and offensive usage lately with his teammate sidelined. He’s put up 24+ DK in the last three games sans McCullar and could do the same tonight, even in a low-scoring game. | ||||||
| Ithiel Horton | PITT | MIA | 4800 | 19.89 | ||
| On the DK slate, Pitt gets a nice pace-boost vs. Miami FL and it makes Horton a solid salary-saver. The junior missed most of the year due to a suspension, but he’s fully back and has seen a significant increase in offensive role and shot volume since joining the starting linuep on Feb. 9. In the last four games, he’s scored in double figures and put up 20+ DK each time while logging close to 40 minutes every game. He could be a popular cash value on DK. | ||||||
| Michael Nuga | UNLV | NEV | 3400 | 13.81 | ||
| If you’re looking for cheap exposure to the late-night DK game, Nuga could be a solid dart throw. He’s been starting for UNLV since mid-January and has 17+ DK in four of the last six games, including a stat-stuffing 28 DK effort vs. Nevada in the first meeting. The price tag is way too low for the upside at 6x value or more. | ||||||

Top Forwards
| Player | Team | Opp. | DK $ | DK FPPG | FD $ | FD FPPG |
| Keegan Murray | IOWA | MSU | 9800 | 42.82 | 8500 | 40.63 |
| Even at some expensive price tags, we always have to consider Murray for DFS in any format. His heavy usage rate and shot volume combined with the fast-paced, high-scoring Iowa games gives him one of the best floor/ceiling combos in the country. Murray has put up at least 36 DK in five straight games with 55 DK in two of these recent outings. There’s enough value to make lineups work if you pay up for him. | ||||||
| Colin Castleton | UF | ARK | 8800 | 35.58 | 8300 | 33.37 |
| Florida is making a late-season push for an NCAA Tournament bid and it’s doing it largely on the back of Colin Castleton. The Gators’ center is playing well on both ends of the court and he’s coming off an excellent 40 DK performance vs. Auburn on Saturday. He’s averaging 35 DK over the past ten games and now gets an attractive pace-boost vs. Arkansas. The chance at 30 DK and a double-double is very real. | ||||||
| Adama Sanogo | UCONN | VU | 7500 | 32.01 | 7600 | 29.92 |
| Playing anyone against Villanova’s top-tier defense is always a risk and Sanogo is very boom-or-bust right now for DFS. So why are we suggesting him? Well, for the GPP upside if you’re feeling it! The UConn center can go for 20 points, 15 boards and 40+ DK points in any given game if he stays out of foul trouble and starts dominating the paint on both ends. We’ve seen multiple times during conference play at least Sanogo has favorable home/road splits tonight (36 DK at home vs. 24 DK on the road). | ||||||
| David McCormack | KU | KSU | 7300 | 23.01 | 7400 | 21.40 |
| At his best, McCormack has the ability and upside to smash these cheaper price tags compared to other top forwards on the slate. The Kansas center is playing well lately with a double-double and 35+ DK points in back-to-back games coming into tonight. Though he’s been inconsistent all year, McCormack deserves to be priced higher than this if he’s back to being the dominant center we saw last year. He had a double-double and 30 DK vs. K-St in the first meeting. | ||||||

Value Forwards
| Player | Team | Opp. | DK $ | DK FPPG | FD $ | FD FPPG |
| Liam Robbins | VAND | BAMA | 4000 | 13.65 | 5100 | 12.78 |
| Robbins has now started the last two games for Vandy after missing most of the season with an ankle injury. He’s been fairly productive in the increased role and playing time - and he just put up 14 points, eight rebounds and 28 DK on Saturday. The 7-footer could easily return value in a pace-boost matchup vs. a Bama defense that’s struggled against opposing bigs at times. | ||||||
| Julius Marble II | MSU | IOWA | 3800 | 11.88 | 5500 | 11.15 |
| Though he doesn’t start, Marble is usually the first or second guy off the bench for Michigan State as he’s recently been logging more center minutes than starter Marcus Bingham. He’s put up 18, 27 and 23 DK in the last three games with 20+ minutes in each. This trend could very well change tonight with Tom Izzo’s unpredictable rotations, but it seems like Marble has his trust over Bingham right now. The pace-boost should allow for more rebounding opportunities too. | ||||||
| Tre Coleman | NEV | UNLV | 3500 | 12.86 | ||
| On the DK slate, Coleman is an interesting value in the late-night hammer matchup. The sophomore wing is consistently getting 30 minutes per game in a starting role with Warren Washington out for Nevada, and that’s given him a solid DFS floor that’s better than his salary indicates. He has 21 DK or more in three of the last five and 16 DK or more in six of the last seven. Not bad for a sub-4k player. | ||||||
| Jacob Groves | OU | TTU | 3100 | 7.94 | 3500 | 7.30 |
| With Elijah Harkless out the rest of the year, Groves moved into the starting lineup on Saturday and logged a season-high 33 minutes in Oklahoma’s tight rotation. Though he only put up 15 DK, the extended playing time gives him a higher DFS floor and better chance at ancillary stats at some dirt-cheap price tags - even in a low-scoring game vs. Texas Tech’s tough defense. | ||||||
