Top Guards
| Player | Team | Opp. | DK $ | DK FPPG | FD $ | FD FPPG | |
| Ryan Rollins | TOL | BALL | 8400 | 36.44 | |||
| Rollins is the best player in the highest total of the slate, so expect him to be popular in all formats. He’s averaging 20 PPG and 38 DK over the past ten games and had a monster effort vs. Ball St in the first meeting with 24 points, 10 boards, seven assists and 51 DK. Expect him to full up the stat sheet in an uptempo matchup to anchor your cash lineups. | |||||||
| Jacob Gilyard | RICH | STBON | 8200 | 33.26 | |||
| There’s a chance Gilyard ends up being less popular than Rollins or other studs on this slate, but just know that he’s capable of being the top DFS scorer. His three-point shooting will be a way to exploit a St. Bonaventure defense that allows a ton of opposing scoring via the deep ball. Even on a floor perspective, Richmond’s best overall player is averaging a stat-stuffing 35 DK over the past ten games and will provide a safe cash performance in addition to the GPP upside. | |||||||
| Jared Rhoden | SHU | CRE | 7400 | 29.8 | |||
| Rhoden really isn’t a flashy DFS play, but he’s locked into plenty of DFS production right now as long as Bryce Aiken remains out. He’s put up 25, 29 and 35 DK in the last three without Aiken and is benefiting from a safer floor of offensive usage and shot volume. Rhoden is a solid cash play on this slate if you just want to lock in 25-30 DFS points with the upside for more - only if Aiken is out again. | |||||||
| Matt Bradley | SDSU | CSU | 7300 | 27.98 | |||
| San Diego St’s best player is actually pretty affordable considering his heavy offensive usage for a safe floor and GPP upside of 40 DK or so. In fact, he had 26 points scored and 39 DK in the first meeting vs. Colorado St and and has since put up 39+ DK in two of the four games since. Either way, he’s safe for cash while averaging 18 PPG and 31 DK over the past ten contests in his high-usage role anchoring the Aztecs offensively. | |||||||
| Tyler Cochran | BALL | TOL | 6500 | 25 | |||
| If you’re looking to get a piece of the Ball St side of this high total, then Cochran is the top guy to consider in cash. Though he’s coming off a poor effort last time out, the winger put up 25+ DK in each of the five previous games - including a double-double and 27 DK vs. Toledo in the first meeting. He leads Ball St in shot rate and has a high usage rate as well - keeping his DFS floor fairly safe in an uptempo matchup like this one. | |||||||
Other Top Guards:
- Kyle Lofton -- St. Bonaventure ($8,100 DK)
- Isaiah Stevens -- Colorado State ($7,700 DK)
- RayJ Dennis -- Toledo ($6,400 DK)
Value Guards
| Player | Team | Opp. | DK $ | DK FPPG | FD $ | FD FPPG | |
| Myles Cale | SHU | CRE | 5600 | 19.74 | |||
| As long as Bryce Aiken remains out, Cale should continue to see an increased offensive role for Seton Hall. He has double-digit shot attempts in all four games without Aiken and that uptick in volume has raised his DFS floor/ceiling more. He’s put up 17+ DK in all four of these games and showed the upside for 25-30 or more if he’s hitting his shots. At sub-6k, Cale is still a decent value. | |||||||
| Ra'Heim Moss | TOL | BALL | 5200 | 21.22 | |||
| Rostering multiple players from this Toledo/Ball St game isn’t a bad strategy and Moss could be a popular way to get cheap exposure. First off, all the Toledo starters play heavy minutes in a tight rotation - so the DFS floor is automatically higher than other teams, especially in a high-total environment. Moss is averaging 26 DK with plenty of ancillary stats over the past ten games and has 37, 41 and 29 DK over the past three. | |||||||
| Lamont Butler | SDSU | CSU | 4800 | 20.46 | |||
| Since returning from a wrist injury a month ago, Butler has been solid while stepping right back into his starting guard spot like nothing ever happened. He’s averaging 22.4 DK over the past five games since rejoining the team and is filling up the stat sheet plenty to be trusted for cash. This includes his 32 DK performance vs. Colorado St in the first matchup. It’s a good bargain for sub-5k if we get 20+ DFS points from him. | |||||||
| Nick Sherod | RICH | STBON | 4000 | 12.07 | |||
| Sherod has some three-point upside in this matchup to smash value. St. Bonaventure allows a ton of opposing points via the three and Sherod is a candidate to get hot from deep. He’s shooting much better at home (40%) than on road (20%) and it’s led to him averaging 16 DK at home compared to 7.5 DK on the road. Plus, his 29% shot rate during conference play actually leads the team. There’s definite upside here at only 4k. | |||||||

- Ryan Nembhard -- Creighton ($5,500 DK)
- Trent Alexander -- Creighton ($4,400 DK)
- Daryl Banks III -- Saint Peter’s ($4,000 DK)
- Andre Gustavson -- Richmond ($3,900 DK)
Top Forwards
| Player | Team | Opp. | DK $ | DK FPPG | FD $ | FD FPPG | |
| David Roddy | CSU | SDSU | 9000 | 37.07 | |||
| This price tag may seem high, but not when you’re as good as Roddy. As the alpha for Colorado St, his DFS floor/ceiling combo is one of the best in the country and he’s capable of dropping 40 DK in any given night. He’s averaging 35 DK over the past ten games and will be looking to redeem himself from his “subpar” effort of “only” 17 points and 27 DK vs. San Diego St in the first meeting. | |||||||
| Orlando Robinson | FRES | NEV | 8800 | 38.38 | |||
| If you’re not going with Roddy, then Robinson is the top forward to pay up for - or fit both if you really want to. As for Robinson, the Fresno St center returned from an ankle injury last game and still put up 30 DK and 18 points over a healthy 32 minutes. That bodes well for him going into tonight’s uptempo matchup - especially if Warren Washington is still out for Nevada. Either way, expect a top-tier performance from Robinson like when he had 26 points, 12 boards and 49 DK vs. Nevada in the first meeting. | |||||||
| JT Shumate | TOL | BALL | 7000 | 30.73 | |||
| How about another Toledo player? Both Millner Jr. and Shumate are solid plays among the high-end forward pool, but the latter is much more consistent from a DFS perspective. He’s averaging 15.8 PPG and 29 DK over the past ten games and dropped 35 DK in the first meeting vs. Toledo. At 7k flat, he’s pretty affordable for the chance at 30+ DK. | |||||||
| Payton Sparks | BALL | TOL | 6900 | 24.7 | |||
| On the Ball St side of things, Sparks has a ton of upside in this high-total matchup with plenty of rebounding and offensive production up for grabs. The center had a double-double and 37 DK in the first meeting vs. Toledo and he’s averaging 15.7 PPG, 9.8 RPG and 31 DK over the past ten games. People may overlook him on this slate with bigger names in the forward pool, but he could give you 30+ DK at a solid price point. | |||||||
Other Top Forwards:
- Osun Osunniyi -- St. Bonaventure ($7,500 DK)
- KC Ndefo -- Saint Peter’s ($6,400 DK)
Value Forwards
| Player | Team | Opp. | DK $ | DK FPPG | FD $ | FD FPPG | |
| Arthur Kaluma | CRE | SHU | 4800 | 18.25 | |||
| Kaluma has been a bit boom-or-bust for DFS this season, but the better performances make him a solid value at sub-5k tonight. He’s put up 20+ DK in three of the last five games and has 18 and 20 points scored in two of those. The offense could be a bit tougher to come by against Seton Hall’s bigger-bodied frontcourt - so limit exposure here to GPPs. | |||||||
| Leo Colimerio | FRES | NEV | 4100 | 14.98 | |||
| We’ve mentioned Colimerio as a good value on recent slates when Fresno St was in action - and that hasn’t changed because of this still-too-cheap price tag. The guy is a regular starter for Fresno who logs 30+ minutes, has 27 and 28 DK over the past two games and is averaging 16 DK over the past ten outings. The poor effort vs. Nevada earlier this season may scare people off, but the value is hard to ignore. | |||||||
| Tre Coleman | NEV | FRES | 3900 | 11.2 | |||
| Keep an eye on Nevada’s injury news ahead of this late-night tip. If Warren Washington and/or Grant Sherfield are out again, we could see Coleman in the starting lineup as a top value. He got the start last game and put up 20 DK over 30 minutes of action. We’ll take that 5x production all day at this price tag. | |||||||
| Keshad Johnson | SDSU | CSU | 3900 | 16.53 | |||
| Johnson is really too cheap for someone who just put up 32 DK his last time out and is a regular starter for San Diego St. Expect him to play a big role in this matchup as his versatile build will come in handy against Colorado St’s smaller lineup. He had 18 DK in the first meeting and we’ll gladly take that at this cheap price tag. | |||||||
