Top Guards
| Player | Team | Opp. | DK $ | DK FPPG | FD $ | FD FPPG | |
| Javon Freeman-Liberty | DPU | MARQ | 9200 | 40 | |||
| The price tag is mighty high for Freeman-Liberty here, but that’s what you have to pay for a guy that can go for 50+ DK points. He did just that last time out vs. Villanova when he exploded for 34 real points and 50 DK in a game where DePaul scored just 64 total points. Now it’s an uptempo environment vs. Marquette with plenty of opportunities to stuff the stat sheet and break the slate again. | |||||||
| James Akinjo | BAY | TTU | 8700 | 30.47 | 8100 | 27.64 | |
| Akinjo has taken a step forward over the past few games in real life and to the point where he’s the clear alpha on this Baylor team despite all the talent around him. Over the last two outings, specifically, he’s scored 20 and 27 real points and 39 and 42 DK. Expect another good performance from him tonight at home for a safe cash stud play. | |||||||
| Wendell Green Jr. | AUB | BAMA | 7800 | 27.18 | 6600 | 24.71 | |
| Getting exposure to the high-scoring Auburn/Alabama matchup should be a priority and Green might end being a popular play at some semi-affordable price points. He’s a great play on FD with the notable discount. Though he comes off the bench, Green still logs starter-level minutes and runs the point in Auburn’s offense more often than not. He had put up 29+ DK in seven straight before just 23 DK last time out - but expect a better performance in an uptempo environment here. | |||||||
| Jahvon Quinerly | BAMA | AUB | 7500 | 27.72 | 7200 | 25.45 | |
| Keon Ellis and Jaden Shackelford are also options from Alabama, but Quinerly is the best cash play from this team considering the price right now. He has a slightly higher floor than both while running the point and filling up the stat sheet more consistently. The fast-paced, high-scoring matchup vs. Auburn makes him a very good play on this slate in the high-end. | |||||||
| Charlie Moore | MIA | FSU | 6800 | 26.02 | 8000 | 24.13 | |
| With the high total and fast pace, the Miami/Florida State matchup is another to target on this slate with plenty of DFS production to go around on both sides. Miami’s trio of studs are all firmly in play, but Moore is the better per-dollar option than McGusty or Wong - especially on DK tonight. The point guard is on a roll lately with 33+ DK in five of the last six games and 18+ points scored in four of those. | |||||||
Other Top Guards to Consider:
- Kameron McGusty -- Miami FL ($9,000 DK / $8,200 FD)
- Izaiah Brockington -- Iowa State ($8,800 DK / $7,700 FD)
- Jaden Shackelford -- Alabama ($7,500 DK / $5,800 FD)
- Isaiah Wong -- Miami FL ($7,400 DK / $7,400 FD)
- Caleb Mills -- Florida State ($6,700 DK / $6,300 FD)
Value Guards
| Player | Team | Opp. | DK $ | DK FPPG | FD $ | FD FPPG | |
| Daeshun Ruffin | MISS | TA&M | 5500 | 22.42 | |||
| The true freshman leads Ole Miss in usage rate (37%), shots share (35%) and assist rate (37%) when on the court and is quickly asserting himself as the alpha playmaker on this team. He’s now started the last two games with Jarkel Joiner banged up and just put up 36 DK last time out. He’s too cheap for what his role currently is in the Rebels’ offense. | |||||||
| Allen Flanigan | AUB | BAMA | 5400 | 16.08 | 5300 | 14.70 | |
| Finding cheap pieces in the higher total games is always a good strategy - and Flanigan is a nice value from Auburn tonight. After missing the first couple months while recovering from Achilles surgery, Flanigan is slowly ramping back up and he’s been efficient DFS-wise in his three games back. He had 14 DK in 20 minutes last time out and 24 DK in 29 minutes in another game. The possibility at 4x or 5x return is here. | |||||||
| LJ Cryer | BAY | ISU | 4800 | 20.5 | 4900 | 18.42 | |
| Cryer has some upside tonight with his team-leading 46% three-point shooting against a TTU defense that gives up a ton of points from the perimeter. If Cryer gets hot, then he’ll easily return value at some lower rostership - especially if he’s getting more playing time than normal with Jeremy Sochan questionable and possibly out tonight. | |||||||
| Matthew Cleveland | FSU | MIA | 4600 | 19.71 | 5800 | 18.70 | |
| In that high-total game vs. Miami, the FSU side unfortunately doesn’t have many players worth rostering in DFS due to some inconsistent performances and weird price tags. Cleveland, though, is worth a shot in cash or GPP with his high usage and shot rates despite coming off the bench as the ‘Noles super-sub. He should do plenty to return value at some cheap tags here. | |||||||
| Clarence Nadolny | TTU | KU | 4200 | 10.89 | 5800 | 10.15 | |
| FD has rightfully increased the price tag on Nadolny, but DK still hasn’t adjusted for his larger role. Texas Tech could still be without both Kevin McCullar and Terrence Shannon tonight, and Nadolny has stepped up in their absences with 23, 24 and 27 DK in the last three games while running the point. He’s a massive value on DK if McCullar/Shannon are out again. | |||||||
Other Value Guards to Consider:
- K.D. Johnson -- Auburn ($4,900 DK / $5,400 FD)
- Andrew Jones -- Texas ($4,500 DK / $5,100 FD)
- JD Davison -- Alabama ($4,500 DK / $5,600 FD)
- Tye Fagan -- Ole Miss ($4,200 DK Only)
- Mylik Wilson -- Texas Tech ($3,400 DK / $5,000 FD)
Top Forwards
| Player | Team | Opp. | DK $ | DK FPPG | FD $ | FD FPPG | |
| Kofi Cockburn | IL | NEB | 9600 | 43.7 | 8600 | 40.76 | |
| Cockburn is very expensive tonight, but he’s worth it in this matchup. Nebraska is one of the worst rebounding teams in the whole country - let alone the Big Ten - and Cockburn should feast on the boards while dominating as a post scorer. The Illinois center is on a roll with seven straight double-doubles and 43+ DK in four straight. | |||||||
| Oscar Tshiebwe | UK | VAND | 9500 | 42.53 | 8800 | 39.84 | |
| We mentioned it last time Kentucky was on the slate, but Tshiebwe continues to be a “fade at your own risk” play with how dominant he’s been. The big man just dropped 59 DK last game with his 29 points and 17 boards. The guy is now averaging 16 PPG and 15 RPG with the real possibility at 45-50 DK or more any time out. The Vandy frontcourt won’t do much to contain him tonight. | |||||||
| Walker Kessler | AUB | BAMA | 9000 | 31.02 | 7900 | 29.30 | |
| Alabama has struggled against opposing bigs this season and Auburn can exploit that with the duo of Walker Kessler and Jabari Smith. Though Smith is the more NBA-ready talent, Kessler is a dominant center at the college ranks this season and he’s the better DFS play from the Tigers when considering pricing. With his inside scoring, rebounding and blocked shots, Kessler can easily put up 40-50 DK in this matchup. | |||||||
| Jordan Miller | MIA | FSU | 6200 | 21.75 | 7100 | 20.53 | |
| Miller is listed as a guard on FD but is forward-eligible on DK, so we’re putting him here for this playbook’s purposes - especially since he’s a bit cheaper on the DK slate and a better play overall on there for the discount. Miller is running hot with 35, 26, 34 and 27 DK points in the last four games with plenty of DFS production in most stat categories. He’ll likely go lower rostered because people will pay up for the top-tier forwards and guards tonight. | |||||||
Other Top Forwards to Consider:
- Justin Lewis -- Marquette ($9,200 DK Only)
- Jabari Smith -- Auburn ($8,300 DK / $7,600 FD)
- Timmy Allen -- Texas ($7,400 DK / $6,400 FD)
- Nysier Brooks -- Ole Miss ($6,400 DK Only)
Value Forwards
| Player | Team | Opp. | DK $ | DK FPPG | FD $ | FD FPPG | |
| Jalen Wilson | KU | TTU | 5400 | 18.14 | 5300 | 16.95 | |
| Wilson has now started two of the last three games after coming off the bench earlier this season and he’s playing a bigger role offensively now with Remy Martin dealing with a knee injury. This is a guy who was regularly priced in the 6k or 7k range last year as a key part of Kansas’ rotation and maybe he starts seeing heavier usage moving forward. Either way, he’s a nice bargain for some upside. | |||||||
| Sam Waardenburg | MIA | FSU | 4800 | 17.71 | 4900 | 16.59 | |
| The Miami center is too cheap on both sites and could be a popular value in this high-total matchup vs. FSU. After returning from injury last week, Waardenburg has been productive with 17 and 20 DK in the last two games and played a key role in that upset win over Duke. Despite having some inconsistent game logs, he should give you 20+ DFS in this uptempo environment. | |||||||
| Gabe Osabuohien | WVU | OKST | 4100 | 15.88 | 4600 | 14.81 | |
| Though Osabuohein’s DFS production and price tags have been fluctuating this season, this too low on both sites tonight. The guy offers a solid floor with his rebounding and ancillary stats alone and he can easily 4x or 5x these price tags with 20 DFS points or so. His high offensive rebounding rate matches up well against an Ok St team that struggles on the defensive boards. | |||||||
| Olivier-Maxence Prosper | MARQ | DPU | 3800 | 15.11 | |||
| Not sure what DK is thinking here with Prosper still being massively underpriced at sub-4k despite just putting up 22 real points and 33 DK last time out. He’s now totaled 25, 16, 25 and 33 DK over the last four games since he started getting more playing time and that likely won’t change considering he’s been a big reason why Marquette is winning some recent games. Near lock in cash on DK. | |||||||
| Marcus Santos-Silva | TTU | KU | 3300 | 13.32 | 4600 | 12.38 | |
| Santos-Silva is a bit too cheap for his recent increase in role with McCullar/Shannon out for Texas Tech - especially at sub-4k on DK tonight. Though he’s still barely playing 20 minutes per game, he’s put up 15 and 22 DK over the last two games while filling the stat sheet in multiple ways. When given the playing time, the senior has proven to be productive - but unfortunately his minutes are capped right now. | |||||||
