Top Guards
| Player | Team | Opp. | DK $ | DK FPPG | FD $ | FD FPPG | |
| Alondes Williams | WAKE | BC | 9600 | 39.31 | |||
| On the DK slate, we have the talented Wake attack in action and it makes Williams a top stud guard for cash or GPP. Even though he’s mighty expensive, the Oklahoma transfer has been worth it more often than not with 44 DK or more in three of the last five games while averaging 22 PPG and 41 DK over the past ten. The pace-down matchup and high salary may make him a contrarian play. | |||||||
| Ochai Agbaji | KU | TTU | 8700 | 31.81 | 7900 | 29.31 | |
| With Remy Martin limited with an injury and David McCormack being inconsistent, Agbaji is Kansas’ alpha offensive threat for the time being. He’s coming off an excellent performance over the weekend when he scored 29 points with 44 DK on the road at Kansas State. He’s now averaging 18.7 PPG and 30 DK over the past ten games and has 33+ DK in four of the last five. Agbaji had 24 points and 33 DK in the first meeting vs. Texas Tech and could easily duplicate those numbers tonight. | |||||||
| Dylan Addae-Wusu | STJN | SHU | 7400 | 25.25 | 7800 | 23.14 | |
| While both Julian Champagnie and Posh Alexander are great players in their own right, Addae-Wusu has quietly become the most consistent high-end DFS option from St. John’s. During conference play, the sophomore leads the team in usage rate as he runs the point more often than not. That increased offensive role has led to 35+ DK in four of the last six games. Ideally he’ll be looking to bounce back after the dud vs. Seton Hall on Saturday. | |||||||
| RJ Davis | UNC | VT | 7200 | 25.28 | 6600 | 23.17 | |
| Outside of Bacot, many of the Heels’ starters are GPP-only targets because of the inconsistent play and elevated salaries right now. Davis, though, has shown the ability to get hot from three and/or rack up ancillary stats to give you 30 DK or more at his best. He could be a nice contrarian play on this slate with people likely ignoring for now. | |||||||
| Kadary Richmond | SHU | STJN | 5900 | 21.47 | 6600 | 19.77 | |
| Richmond moved into the starting lineup on Saturday with Bryce Aiken out and he responded with 27 DK in 38 minutes with a stat-stuffing effort. He’s now put up 27+ DK in three of the last four games and should be heavily involved offensively tonight with Aiken out again. Even though he's priced up now, Richmond is still a solid play in a pace-boost rematch vs. St. John’s with the increase in usage and shot volume. | |||||||
Other Top Guards:
- Posh Alexander -- St. John’s ($8,200 DK / $7,700 FD)
- Makai Ashton-Langford -- Boston College ($6,600 DK Only)
- Boogie Ellis -- USC ($6,400 DK / $5,600 FD)
- Tyree Appleby -- Florida ($4,900 DK / $6,500 FD)
Value Guards
| Player | Team | Opp. | DK $ | DK FPPG | FD $ | FD FPPG | |
| Myles Cale | SHU | STJN | 4600 | 19.18 | 5000 | 18.23 | |
| Cale has been a solid role player for Seton Hall all season but he stepped up on Saturday with Bryce Aiken out. In 37 minutes with an increase in usage and shot volume, the super-senior put up 21 real points and 37 DK while playing excellent defense on Julian Champagnie. Expect something similar in tonight’s rematch vs. St. John’s - and it makes him a great cash value who could be popular. | |||||||
| Dajuan Harris Jr. | KU | TTU | 4300 | 15.35 | 4900 | 14.33 | |
| Harris is playing a big role in Kansas’ backcourt with Remy Martin limited with his knee injury. Harris is seeing a consistent 30 minutes or so and is averaging 18 DK over the past ten games. It’s nothing to get too excited about for GPP, but his cash floor is solid with just enough ancillary stats in his extended playing time. | |||||||
| Terrence Shannon Jr. | TTU | KU | 4200 | 20.36 | 5600 | 18.17 | |
| Shannon now appears fully back from his recent back injury after he just put up 23 real points and 34 DK on Saturday vs. West Virginia. That’s a very encouraging performance for a guy who was consistently scoring double-digit points and dropping 25-30 DK at full strength previously. He’s underpriced right now as he’ll eventually return to the 7k range before long with a couple more good performances. The extremely cheap DK tag should make him popular. | |||||||
| Storm Murphy | VT | UNC | 3900 | 15.72 | 4600 | 13.97 | |
| A lot of the Virginia Tech starters are in play tonight with a plus-matchup vs. UNC’s weaker defense. The cheapest among them on DK is Murphy, who’s barely ahead of Alleyne on the FD slate. The Wofford transfer runs the point for VT and logs 30 minutes per game - keeping his DFS value just high enough in cash to return value at these cheap tags. He really shouldn’t be sub-4k on DK with the potential for 5x value. | |||||||
| Luther Muhammad | ASU | USC | 3500 | 13.23 | 4200 | 12.36 | |
| With Jay Heath suspended tonight, we could see Muhammad step into a larger role for Arizona State and maybe even re-join the starting lineup. The Ohio State transfer started 11 games earlier this season but had been coming off the bench in the past four. With an increase in playing time and role, Muhammad could easily smash value. Jamiya Neal is another ASU guard who could see an uptick in playing time and/or starting role tonight. | |||||||
Other Value Guards:
- Hunter Cattoor -- Virginia Tech ($5,200 DK / $5,000 FD)
- Daivien Williamson -- Wake Forest ($5,000 DK Only)
- Tye Fagan -- Ole Miss ($4,200 DK / $3,800 FD)
- Mason Faulkner -- Louisville ($3,700 DK / $5,000 FD)
- Kowacie Reeves -- Florida ($3,600 DK / $4,300 FD)
Top Forwards
| Player | Team | Opp. | DK $ | DK FPPG | FD $ | FD FPPG | |
| Armando Bacot | UNC | VT | 9600 | 38.11 | 8300 | 34.92 | |
| Bacot is a double-double machine with one in nine straight games while averaging 18.5 points, 12.5 rebounds and 41 DK over the past ten. He’s proven capable of dropping close to 50 DFS points or more with one of those 20-point, 15-rebound performances and can certainly do it tonight against an undersized VT frontcourt with a below-average interior defense. Multiple opposing ACC bigs have had success against VT and Bacot will be the latest. | |||||||
| Isaiah Mobley | USC | ASU | 9300 | 34.79 | 8100 | 32.38 | |
| Arizona State is a poor rebounding team and lacks talent/size in the frontcourt spots. That should help Mobley have another good game tonight like he’s done basically all season. The Trojans’ big man is also on the positive end of his home/road splits as he’s averaging 39.6 DK at home compared to 30 DK on the road thus far. He’s great for cash or GPP tonight. | |||||||
| Keve Aluma | VT | UNC | 8200 | 29.67 | 7400 | 27.91 | |
| Despite having a tough one-on-one matchup vs. Armando Bacot down low, Aluma can still be a top-tier DFS play because of the struggling UNC defense. That includes Bacot, who isn’t usually an active shot-blocker and lacks defensive effort. It’s been allowing some opposing bigs to have success in this matchup and Aluma can easily do the same, especially since he’s playing well with 32 DK per game over the past ten. | |||||||
| Alexis Yetna | SHU | STJN | 7300 | 23.42 | 8000 | 22.17 | |
| As the season moves along, Yetna is clearly becoming comfortable playing in the Big East and he’s looking more and more like the DFS stud he previously was at South Florida. The big man just had 16 points, 15 rebounds and 35 DK vs. St. John’s over the weekend and could easily replicate that performance against an undersized opposing frontcourt in this rematch. Yetna now has five double-doubles in the past eight games and 30 DK or more in six of eight. | |||||||
| Jalen Wilson | KU | TTU | 6800 | 21.33 | 6700 | 19.94 | |
| Since joining Kansas’ starting rotation this month, Wilson has taken on a much bigger offensive role with 16+ real points and 30+ DK in four of the last five games. That includes his 20 points and 30 DK vs. Texas Tech in the prior matchup. He’s a great cash play now that he’s seeing more consistent offensive usage. | |||||||
Other Top Forwards:
- Jake LaRavia -- Wake Forest ($9,000 DK Only)
- David McCormack -- Kansas ($7,100 DK / $6,300 FD)
- Brady Manek -- North Carolina ($7,000 DK / $6,200 FD)
Value Forwards
| Player | Team | Opp. | DK $ | DK FPPG | FD $ | FD FPPG | |
| Aaron Wheeler | STJN | SHU | 5300 | 16.94 | 6400 | 15.59 | |
| Wheeler is now priced up on FD, but he’s still a great value on DK in a high-total matchup vs. Seton Hall. The Purdue transfer is now playing a more-consistent role in the St. John’s frontcourt during conference play and he’s put up 26+ DK in four of the last five games - including 32 DK with plenty of ancillary stats on Saturday vs. SHU. | |||||||
| Jaemyn Brakefield | MISS | UF | 5200 | 17.38 | 5000 | 15.69 | |
| Brakefield continues to be a solid cash value on both sites despite putting up 20+ DK in five of the last seven while logging 30 minutes or so in a tight Ole Miss rotation. His consistent playing time keeps his DFS floor higher than most in this price range due to tons of injuries across the team’s roster. The Duke transfer isn’t heavily involved offensively but does just enough in ancillary stats. | |||||||
| Tyrese Samuel | SHU | STJN | 4500 | 19.68 | 5500 | 16.75 | |
| Though he’s coming off the bench, Samuel has the size and rebounding ability to return value against a smaller St. John’s frontcourt. He just had eight points, 10 boards and 24 DK in this matchup on Saturday in 21 minutes - which is a good sign for a guy that now looks to be close to 100% from recent COVID absences. Samuel is too cheap on both sites for someone who was regularly putting up 20-25 DK or more as one of Seton Hall’s main bigs before his three-game COVID layoff. | |||||||
| Jason Jitoboh | UF | MISS | 4000 | 8.95 | 4700 | 8.68 | |
| Jitoboh has started the last two games at center for Florida with Colin Castleton out indefinitely. He’s put up 14 and 25 DK in these two starts and is still pretty affordable considering the increase in playing time and role. At 6-foot-11 and 305 pounds, the junior is a mammoth down low but has an interesting matchup vs. Ole Miss 7-footer Nysier Brooks. It’s still good value on DK and could be popular in cash. | |||||||
| Francisco Caffaro | UV | UL | 3300 | 9.74 | 4300 | 9.15 | |
| The 7-foot-1 junior has replaced Kadin Shedrick in Virginia’s starting lineup the last three games and put up 16, 13 and 12 DK over these starts. Even though he’s not heavily involved offensively and plays on a slow-tempo UVA squad, Caffaro could give you 15 DK or so as a salary-saver if he helps you pay up elsewhere. He’s also not far removed from a 27 DK performance off the bench vs. Virginia Tech when he had 16 points and nine boards. | |||||||
