We are up to eight games tonight. As with last night, we don't have a ton of great matchups, but there are some rather good ones. We start off in Birmingham with UAB hosting the Gamecocks, Duquesne hosting DePaul in Pittsburgh, and Florida welcoming MAC giants Ohio to Tampa. The only other earlier tip is Mississippi hosting UCF in Oxford.
The next tips aren't until 9 pm. We get UCLA heading to College Park to take on the Terps. Western Kentucky heads up to Louisville to take on the Cardinals. We also have Oregon hosting UC-Riverside. We end this late with Long Beach State taking on the Trojans. This is a very interesting slate!
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 12/14/22 starting at noon Eastern. I’ll provide multiple player suggestions for players at guard and forward, aiming to highlight one option at the high, middle, and lower end of the salary scale. Good luck, RotoBallers.

DraftKings CBB DFS Guards
Jordan Walker, UAB ($9,200)
Walker is a high-volume shooter that routinely dumps in 20 or more points. In fact, Walker hasn't been under 15 actual points yet. Add in his good passing ability and solid rebounding, and you have a guy that can put up some big DFS numbers. Walker is an assassin from beyond the arc, adding a few extra .5 bonus points to nearly every shot he makes. I have no issue paying a price like this when the ceiling is in the 50s.
Zyon Pullin, UC-Riverside ($8,100)
I don't know that Oregon is capable of blowing anyone out. That's good news for Pullin and his team. Make no mistake, this is his team. Pullin is averaging nearly 20 points per game and puts up strong peripheral numbers as well. Creighton was the last team to hold him under 30 DraftKings points and that was nearly a month ago. If this game stays close, Pullin is getting you somewhere in the 30s, but probably nothing beyond that.
Joel Murray, Long Beach State ($6,700)
A horrific shooting night against North Texas is the only thing that has stopped Murray from topping 25 DraftKings points in every game this season...and this team played UCLA! If Murray can put up strong numbers against the Bruins, I'm not scared of USC. The Trojans are a good team, but they don't always play like it. If the 49ers hang around, it will likely be the fault of Murray.
Kyle Lofton, Florida ($4,500)
Lofton missed two games with a sore back before returning last week against UConn. He was neutered by the Huskies, missing all five shots from the field and doing practically nothing despite playing half the game. Lofton was routinely playing 30+ minutes before the injury, so I'll chalk the limited minutes up to the blowout nature of the loss to UConn. If he plays 30 minutes against Ohio, Lofton has a shot at landing in the mid-20s. That's a nice value for the price.
Also consider: Dayvion McKnight, Western Kentucky ($9,300); Will Richardson, Oregon ($8,500); Jimmy Clark III, Duquesne ($7,700); Jaylin Hunter, Ohio ($6,800); Kobe Johnson, USC ($6,100); Emmanuel Akot, Western Kentucky ($5,500); Meechie Johnson, South Carolina ($5,300); Jadon Jones, Long Beach State ($4,600)

DraftKings CBB DFS Forwards
Jaime Jaquez, UCLA ($8,400)
Jaquez has scored in double figures in every game and we all know what a great all-around player he is by now. The floor is high on Jaquez, and this is one of the games that should stay close against Maryland. Jaquez doesn't quite have the ceiling that some of the guards do, but he is capable of putting up some big numbers even on a team like Maryland.
Gregory Jackson, South Carolina ($8,200)
The freshman has scored in double figures in every game so far. It's not often that a freshman takes so many shots, all in the flow of the offense, but the Gamecock offense moves through Jackson. He's a strong rebounder and an accomplished scorer. Double-doubles should be just around the corner as Jackson continues to improve his game.
Quincy Guerrier, Oregon ($7,000)
The Syracuse transfer started slowly out on the West Coast, but he has scored in double figures in each of the last four games. That culminated in a huge game against Nevada in which he scored 26 actual points. We saw Guerrier put up some big games with the Orange last year. Is he finally getting going for the Ducks? In GPPs, I'm game to find out.
Dwight Wilson III, Ohio ($5,300)
Wilson has at least 22 DraftKings points in every game this season. There is really no reason for him to be this cheap. Yes, Florida is good up front. It's not like Ohio is bad. Wilson is a high-energy guy that is vital to the success of the Bobcats. He has scored in double figures in every game since November 20.
Also consider: Colin Castleton, Florida ($9,000); Javan Johnson, DePaul ($8,400); Taylor Hendricks, Central Florida ($7,600); Da'Sean Nelson, DePaul ($6,400); Alex Fudge, Florida ($5,400); Al Clayton, Ohio ($5,000); Aboubacar Traore, Long Beach State ($4,700)
