TOP GUARDS

 

Opp BC ($7.6K DK)

Devoe is at his lowest price point of the season facing Boston College in a low game total. The plus is that this is senior day for the Yellow Jacket leader, and he’s been playing 4X in four of his last five with a 24% usage over that span averaging 15.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 3.2 assists. BC is one of the worst teams in the country defending the Three (36.9%-324th) and Devoe has been averaging seven 3-point attempts over his last three. 

 

Opp MIA ($8.3K DK)

You are probably sick of seeing Buddy Boeheim in this spot on Saturdays but hear me out – this is his last game playing in the Carrier Dome, it’s Senior Day, and he has a realistic chance of becoming the ACC scoring champion. He is chasing Alondes Williams, who finished with 598 points (19.29 ppg) while Buddy has 569 points (18.97 ppg). So, it will take a 30-point effort to win the scoring crown, and he has done that once this season (against Williams and Wake). If he is close, he will be bombing in the second half and that means DFS goodness.

Kadary Richmond (Seton Hall)  Opp @ CRE ($5.9K DK/6.5K FD)

With Bryce Aiken out with a concussion, Richmond has a much larger role and has quietly been smashing at the most important time of the season. Against Georgetown, he was in control of the total offense finishing with a double-double of 12 points and 10 assists to go along with five rebounds. During the 12 games since Aiken has been out, Richmond is averaging 10.3 points, 5.8 assists, and 4.0 rebounds in 31.9 minutes.

TOP VALUE GUARDS

 

Opp SCAR ($4.8K DK/5.1K FD)

Johnson is one of Auburn’s five best players, and finally seems to be getting opportunities on the court in key spots. He was part of the important five-man three-guard unit that closed out the Ole Miss game last week and comes into a big game for Auburn at only $4.8K in a major pace-up spot. Look for a bunch of steals from KD today and to easily nuke value. 

 

Opp @SYR ($5.5K DK)

Miller has been a key player for the Hurricanes on both ends of the floor during their turnaround season. The fourth-year junior transfer from George Mason does a little of everything and is averaging 9.3 points and a team-high 5.8 rebounds along with a very efficient 53% from the field. Syracuse’s interior issues this season have been well documented and are now even worse with Jesse Edwards out which put Miller clearly on the radar as a top value of the slate. 

 

Other Value Guards

RayQuan Evans (FSU) $4.6K DK  *If Caleb Mills is OUT then Evans gets a bump up; the top sub $5K value on the slate

Tray Alexander G/F (CRE) $4.9K/4.7K FD  *Love this play as a sneaky value

Miller Kopp (IU) $3.5K DK/4.2K FD   *Kopp/Stewart both 30+ mins against a bad PUR defense

Parker Stewart (IU) $3.7K DK/3.6K FD *Kopp/Stewart both 30+ mins against a bad PUR defense

Kyle Sturdivant (GT) $4.1K DK  *Getting 30 mins

Casey Morsell (NCST) $3.7K DK  *Anytime a $3.7K is playing 30 minutes, he needs to be considered


TOP FORWARDS

 

Opp @UF ($9.9K DK/8.8K FD)

Three weeks ago, Oscar and Kentucky faced this same Gator team and had their way. Tshiebwe had one of his 60 DKFP games as he put up 27 points and 19 rebounds and shut down Colin Castleton in the process who had a season-low 25 DKFP. Yes, Florida will be tougher at home, but Oscar is the best play on the slate and will be in nearly every lineup of mine today. The Gators cannot rebound defensively, and Oscar will gobble up every rebound (20% offensive rebounding) and put them right back up while Castleton will be too worried about staying out of foul trouble.

 

Opp BAMA ($7.0K DK/6.7K FD

Eason was just named a semifinalist for the Naismith Defensive Player of the Year as he has also been one of the most impactful transfers in the country. He has blossomed into an elite player on both ends of the floor and is averaging 16.5 points and 6.9 rebounds while improving as a perimeter shot maker. He can switch from the one through five and fills up the stat sheet, ranking fifth in the SEC with two steals per game and is Top 10 in blocks at 1.1 per contest. Today he gets the Crimson Tide in an up-tempo game – a team that he smashed in January for 47 DKFP in 31 minutes (24 points/10 rebounds). Alabama gets destroyed on the inside – just see what Henry Coleman III recently did – and today should be no different. Darius Days ($7.0K) is also in play in the same matchup as a safer cash play while Eason is more of a GPP lock due to minutes and foul issues. 

 

Opp SCAR ($8.3K DK/8.7K FD)

Big spot for Auburn today as they can lock up the SEC at home and in a pace-up game against South Carolina. The expected #1 NBA draft pick is still looking to have that one big run-in college and it may all start here today. With Kessler hurting, Smith will have to take on more rebounding responsibility as well as getting more shots off. He is carrying a 33% usage rate over the last five with a 25.6 point, 7.6 rebounds, and 41.30 DKFP over the last five games.

TOP VALUE FORWARDS

 

Opp MIA ($4.8K DK)

Sidibe has seen his tenure in Central New York devastated by injuries but he’s finally playing healthy on senior day at the Carrier Dome. With Edwards out for the season, Sidibe has seen his minutes increase and had a nice showing last weekend when the Orange played Duke at home. It's a great matchup today against a horrible Miami interior that is ranked 330th in 2-pt % allowed and 316th in offensive rebounding. An interesting note: Edwards had 22 points, eight rebounds, and SEVEN blocks against this same interior in January. 

 

Opp @WVU ($4.6K DK)

Love Lampkin Jr. today against an anemic West Virginia rebounding team and you may catch him a bit under-owned. He can hit the offensive glass (16.6%- 8th in the nation) which is West Virginia’s kryptonite (33.6%- 346th). With a 34.4% combined rebounding rate against a West Virginia team that seems to have given up on their coach, Lampkin is solid all-around today.
