Top Guards
| Player | Team | Opp. | DK $ | DK FPPG | FD $ | FD FPPG |
| Ochai Agbaji | KU | WVU | 8300 | 31.75 | 7900 | 29.06 |
| Kansas gets a favorable matchup vs. West Virginia’s poor defense and it puts Agbaji and Christian Braun both squarely in play amongst the stud guards. Agbaji had 28 and 36 DK against WVU during the regular season and will especially be looking to bounce back after a horrendous shooting performance last time out. Bank on the positive regression today. | ||||||
| Bennedict Mathurin | ARIZ | STAN | 8000 | 31.1 | 8100 | 28.76 |
| With Arizona in action, we have to consider Mathurin a top overall play. The Arizona wing has 35-40 DFS upside in any given game and he went off for 24 points and 37 DK vs. Stanford just last week. He may go lower-rostered than he should, so consider a high-upside GPP option on this slate. | ||||||
| Jacob Young | ORE | COL | 6700 | 22.55 | ||
| With Will Richardson sidelined, Young has taken on an offensive alpha role for Oregon. He just smashed yesterday’s slate with 53 DK and a stat-stuffing performance, and he had 21 points and 28 DK in the game prior without Richardson. Even with the price increase, Young is a great play in all formats and Oregon will need him to be a stud again today to play itself off the NCAA Tournament bubble. | ||||||
| Isaiah Wong | MIA | BC | 6400 | 26.28 | ||
| On the DK slate, this Miami-Boston College game could be a sneaky one for DFS. While people roster other studs in action, don’t be surprised if some top-tier performances come from this matchup. All of Miami’s high-priced guards are in play, but Wong is at an affordable price point and he smashed BC for 27 points and 43 DK a week ago. He has some GPP upside today. | ||||||

Value Guards
| Player | Team | Opp. | DK $ | DK FPPG | FD $ | FD FPPG |
| Tony Perkins | IOWA | NW | 5100 | 14.04 | ||
| After taking a backseat in Iowa’s offense for much of this season, Perkins has been playing a bigger role over the final stretch of the regular season. He’s put up 21 DK or more in four straight games and just had a career day vs. Illinois last time out with 17 points, 12 rebounds, five assists and 43 DK. That’s raised his price tag, but he’s still a solid value on the DK slate. He had 21 DK vs. Northwestern not too long ago. | ||||||
| Courtney Ramey | UT | TCU | 4800 | 18.23 | 5000 | 16.75 |
| Ramey isn’t a flashy play, by any means, but he’s become a really solid cash value at these price tags. He’s coming off an impressive performance vs. Kansas in the regular-season finale when he had 18 points and 28 DK. He’s averaging 17.7 DK over the past ten games and had 25 DK vs. TCU earlier this season. Ramey does just enough in each stat category to return value. | ||||||
| Jeremy Roach | DUKE | SYR | 4300 | 17.24 | 4800 | 15.95 |
| All of the Duke studs are in play in this matchup vs. Syracuse, but Roach presents an affordable way to get exposure to that game. He had 18 and 23 DK vs. Cuse in the regular season and has shown the upside to return 4x or 5x value at these sub-5k price tags. Roach is a solid salary-saver in all formats. | ||||||
| Symir Torrence | SYR | DUKE | 3000 | 8.77 | 3500 | 8.23 |
| Welcome to the cash lock of the slate as Torrence will be extremely chalky today. With Buddy Boeheim suspended, expect Torrence to enter the starting lineup for the first time all year. He’s been a key bench player for Syracuse but will have to step into a much bigger role in the backcourt with Boeheim out. Torrence just had 29 DK vs. Florida St yesterday and is a steal at these dirt-cheap price tags. | ||||||
Other Value Guards:
- Keeshawn Barthelemy -- Colorado ($5,500 DK Only)
- Trey Alexander -- Creighton ($5,400 DK Only)
- Dajuan Harris Jr. -- Kansas ($5,000 DK / $4,400 FD)
- Chuck Harris -- Butler ($4,800 DK Only)
- Wade Taylor IV -- Texas A&M ($4,000 DK / $4,200 FD)
- Parker Stewart -- Indiana ($3,600 DK / $3,600 FD)
Top Forwards
| Player | Team | Opp. | DK $ | DK FPPG | FD $ | FD FPPG |
| Keegan Murray | IOWA | NW | 9800 | 43.53 | ||
| Murray will cost you a lot on the DK slate but, as always, fade at your own risk. The guy’s been a DFS stud all season with his heavy shot volume and offensive usage in Iowa’s fast-paced, high-scoring attack. He smashed Northwestern for 26 points, 18 rebounds and 63 DK in the previous matchup and honestly has the ceiling to do the same. If you have the room, fit him in. | ||||||
| Hunter Dickinson | MICH | IU | 9000 | 35.97 | 8600 | 33.71 |
| After missing the last game with an illness, Dickinson practiced yesterday and is expected to play today. Assuming he plays, the Michigan offense should run through him as the team tries to lock up an NCAA Tournament bid with a win or two in this Big Ten bracket. Dickinson had a big game vs. Indiana earlier this season with 25 points, nine boards and 44 DK and he’s averaging 20 PPG and 40 DK over the past ten outings. | ||||||
| Paolo Banchero | DUKE | SYR | 8800 | 34.73 | 8100 | 32.18 |
| Banchero is always a top overall DFS option, but he’s got a favorable matchup today vs. Syracuse’s inconsistent and struggling defense. He went off for 42 and 39 DK vs. Cuse in the two regular-season meetings and was a clear mismatch against that zone defense. Expect more of the same today as Banchero and Duke look to bounce back big from the previous upset loss to UNC. Expect him to be popular in cash purely because of the name brand. | ||||||
| David McCormack | KU | WVU | 6800 | 23.35 | 7200 | 21.78 |
| McCormack has been up-and-down for DFS and real-life all season, but this is a spot he can smash in. The Kansas center had 35 and 44 DK with a pair of double-doubles vs. West Virginia during the regular season and it’s clearly a matchup he’s comfortable with. It’s always a risk, but the GPP ceiling is there for McCormack to break the slate open with a stud performance. | ||||||
| Nate Watson | PROV | BUT | 6100 | 23.13 | ||
| Watson is another guy who’s been inconsistent DFS-wise lately, but he has the pure talent and GPP upside to smash this affordable DK price tag. The Providence center went for 27 and 32 DK vs. Butler in the regular season and could easily have another stud-like performance in today’s matchup. Butler has a poor interior defense and doesn’t have the physicality to contain Watson in the paint. | ||||||
Other Top Forwards:
- Justin Lewis -- Marquette ($8,700 DK Only)
- Jabari Walker -- Colorado ($8,200 DK Only)
- Wendell Moore Jr. -- Duke ($7,900 DK / $7,200 FD)
- Pete Nance -- Northwestern ($7,500 DK Only)
- Jalen Wilson -- Kansas ($7,100 DK / $6,100 FD)
Value Forwards
| Player | Team | Opp. | DK $ | DK FPPG | FD $ | FD FPPG |
| Eric Williams Jr. | ORE | COL | 5100 | 17.96 | ||
| With Will Richardson out, Williams Jr. has stepped into a much bigger role for Oregon with an uptick in playing time and shot volume. In the last two games without Richardson, he’s put up 26 DK in both and is still very affordable at just over 5k on the DK slate. He moved into the starting lineup and played 33 minutes yesterday, and we can expect something similar today. | ||||||
| Bourama Sidibe | SYR | DUKE | 4800 | 9.69 | 4400 | 9.31 |
| Ignore Sidibe’s DFS performance from yesterday as he was limited to just eight minutes because of foul trouble and the blowout factor. Though the foul risk is still there, he’ll be needed more down low today against Duke’s frontcourt duo of Paolo Banchero and Mark Williams. He had 22 DK vs. Duke a few games ago and should be locked into more playing time with Buddy Boeheim out and the Cuse rotation shortened. | ||||||
| Jalen Bridges | WVU | KU | 4600 | 19.33 | 3800 | 18.10 |
| Taking a chance on West Virginia players is always a risk for DFS, but Bridges is an interesting value today. He’s coming off a solid performance yesterday when he had 25 DK in 33 minutes, and he now has 20+ DK in back-to-back games. Bridges had 29 and 18 DK vs. Kansas in the regular-season meetings and could return value with similar production. | ||||||
| Ronnie DeGray III | MIZZ | LSU | 4300 | 18.42 | ||
| DeGray was a good value for us yesterday and he’s still cheap enough to consider in all formats. The Mizzou power forward has 19+ DK in four straight games and is averaging 19.8 DK over the past ten. This matchup vs. LSU is tough, but DeGray also had 19.5 DK against them a couple of weeks ago. We'll take that at sub-5k on the DK slate. | ||||||
