Top Guards

PlayerTeamOpp.DK $DK FPPGFD $FD FPPG
Ochai AgbajiKUTCU850032.28800029.56
Despite going just 4-for-17 from the field vs. TCU two days ago, Agbaji still finished with 30 DK points with plenty of other stats to make up for the poor shooting day. Usually, though, we can count on him scoring 20+ real points and 35-40 DFS points as a cash anchor. Expect that bounceback in tonight’s rematch at home, where Agbaji and KU will be looking for a convincing win.
Bennedict MathurinARIZSTAN840031.15820028.81
If you watched Arizona play on Tuesday, you got a good reminder of how explosive and high-scoring the offense can be. Mathurin played a big role, yet again, with his 19 points and 41 DK with a stat-stuffed box score. His DFS floor is usually safe in the 25-30 DK point range, but the ceiling is worth it in GPPs. Mathurin and 'Zona should be motivated to play well tonight to earn an outright Pac-12 title.
Will RichardsonOREUW710027.15670025.39
There aren’t a ton of trustworthy top-tier guards on the slate tonight, but Richardson is pretty affordable for his proven DFS value. The Oregon combo guard has shown the upside to go off for 20+ real points and 35-40 DK points at his best, and he should be looking to bounce back from a terrible game vs. USC last time out. This matchup vs. Washington gets much easier, though, and he had 21 points and 35 DK in the prior meeting.
Jaylen ForbesTULUCF710028.42  
We have this Tulane/UCF game with a decently high total on the DK slate. Tulane’s stud playmaker is Forbes, who’s actually a bit underpriced compared to other top guards on this slate. He’s averaging 19 points and 32 DK over the past ten games and had 30.8 DK vs. UCF previously. Forbes also now takes on more offensive responsibility with backcourt mate Jalen Cook doubtful to play tonight. He's a great cash play at this price.

Other Top Guards:

  • Michael Flowers – Washington State ($8,300 DK Only)
  • Christian Braun – Kansas ($8,100 DK / $6,500 FD)
  • Michael Weathers – SMU ($6,600 DK / $7,000 FD)
  • Trent Frazier – Illinois ($6,200 DK / $5,900 FD)


 

Value Guards

PlayerTeamOpp.DK $DK FPPGFD $FD FPPG
A.J. HoggardMSUOSU570018.23460016.89
Admittedly, it’s impossible to get a read on the Michigan State rotations and lineups lately. Hoggard, for instance, had recently taken on a starting point guard role for Sparty before moving back to the bench and logging only 11 minutes last game. He was dealing with an illness and should play more tonight – especially if Tyson Walker is out or limited with his knee injury. MSU is at its best when Hoggard is handling the ball, so expect that to happen more tonight with the team needing a win.
Connor McCafferyIOWAMICH46009.9651009.28
McCaffery started in place of his brother, Patrick, last game and had his best performance of the season with 17 points and 29 DK over 33 minutes. Granted it was Senior Night and in a blowout win over Northwestern, but it’s hard to ignore what he did in an extended starting role with Patrick McCaffery out – which could be the case again tonight. If he’s starting, Connor has a ton of upside in this high-scoring environment vs. Michigan’s subpar defense.
DeVon BakerTULUCF35008.98  
With Jalen Cook doubtful to play tonight for Tulane, expect Baker to step into more playing time as a great value on the DK slate. Baker saw 27 minutes last game when Cook went down and he put up 18 DK in the extended time in Tulane's backcourt. When Cook missed a game earlier this season, Baker got a spot start and played 31 minutes.
Cole BajemaUWORE30009.0132008.13
It’s possible Washington guard Daejon Davis is out tonight after he re-injured his shoulder last game. If that’s the case, then Bajema would step into more playing time as he did previously this season with Davis out. He showed the ability to put up 20-25 DFS points with regular 25-30 minutes or more in Davis’ absence. That’s smash value at these dirt-cheap prices, but just make sure Davis is sitting.

Other Value Guards:

  • Hysier Miller – Temple ($5,300 DK Only)
  • Jay Heath – Arizona State ($5,200 DK Only)
  • Max Christie – Michigan State ($4,900 DK / $4,500 FD)
  • Dajuan Harris Jr. – Kansas ($4,900 DK / $4,700 FD)
  • PJ Fuller – Washington ($4,100 DK / $3,700 FD)


 

Top Forwards

PlayerTeamOpp.DK $DK FPPGFD $FD FPPG
Keegan MurrayIOWAMICH1040043.32870041.11
Murray’s DK price tag has gotten to the point where it’s impossible to roster him in cash and feel good about the rest of your roster – especially when you have Liddell and Dickinson so much cheaper. On the FD, though, he’s still a “fade at your own risk” type player with one of the sport's highest DFS floor/ceiling combos. This high-scoring matchup vs. Michigan’s subpar defense sets up nicely for him to continue.
E.J. LiddellOSUMSU930039.17860036.50
Liddell is coming off a monster effort on Tuesday when he put up 27 points, 14 rebounds, six blocks and 61 DK. It’s one of those games that exemplifies why the Ohio St big man is considered a real contender for National POY and why he’s this expensive on both DK and FD. He’s now averaging 19.4 points and 38.5 DK over the past ten games and should put up stud cash numbers once again at home tonight.
Hunter DickinsonMICHIOWA900035.5850033.29
Targeting against Iowa is always a good strategy in DFS with the team’s minimal defense, fast pace and high-scoring game environments. It makes Dickinson a top overall play on tonight’s slate against Iowa’s subpar frontcourt defense. A 20-point double-double and 40 DK are certainly in the cards with this favorable matchup. Expect him to be popular in cash.
Mouhamed GueyeWSUORST630018.86  
Washington St just played Oregon St on Monday and Gueye put up 19 points and 27 DK. Even with a slight price increase on DK, he’s still a great play in this favorable matchup. Gueye is running hot lately with 38, 26 and 27 DK over the past three games. It’s hard to imagine him not having success again against a bad Beavers defense and frontcourt.

Other Top Forwards:

  • Kofi Cockburn – Illinois ($9,100 DK / $8,400 FD)
  • Jalen Wilson – Kansas ($7,100 DK / $6,300 FD)
  • Marcus Weathers – SMU ($6,700 DK / $7,500 FD)


 

Value Forwards

PlayerTeamOpp.DK $DK FPPGFD $FD FPPG
Cheikh Mbacke DiongUCFTUL560018.81  
Just looking at Diong’s game logs, it’s clear how boom-or-bust he can be for DFS with inconsistent production. Tonight, though, presents a very favorable matchup as Tulane is one of the worst rebounding teams in the country. Diong smashed in this matchup earlier this season when he had a double-double and 37 DK. Don’t expect a repeat of those numbers, but he could easily return value on the DK slate.
Kyle YoungOSUMSU550018.05470017.02
Young let us down last game when he oddly played just eight minutes despite getting the start in place of the injured Zed Key. He should start again tonight with Key likely sitting out again, and (hopefully) it means more locked-in playing time for the power forward. Ohio St will need his size more in this matchup vs. Michigan St’s taller lineups, whereas that last game vs. Nebraska featured small-ball and forced Young off the court.
Oumar BalloARIZSTAN530016.72470015.89
Though Tubelis and Koloko are locked in as Arizona’s starting frontcourt, Ballo is still playing a key role off the bench. It’s hard to trust in cash, but the GPP upside is there for him whenever Arizona is favored to win comfortably - which is the case tonight. That usually results in more playing time for Ballo in the second half and he can give you 20-25 DFS points as he racks up rebounds, put-backs and other ancillary stats.
Maurice CallooORSTWSU500014.31  
On the DK slate, Calloo is looking like one of the better cash values in the forward pool. With Oregon State’s forgetful season coming to an end, Calloo is getting a ton of playing time and shot attempts in a new starting role over the past month. He’s now averaging 19.9 DK over the past ten games and has 21 DK or more in three of the last five – including his 25 DK vs. Washington St on Monday.

  • Jacob Grandison – Illinois ($5,500 DK / $5,700 FD)
  • Moussa Diabate – Michigan ($5,300 DK / $4,100 FD)
