Tis the season for all-day basketball! I'm targeting Oklahoma State, A&M, and Mississippi State on the early slate while looking to Wofford and North Alabama for some value plays. We are to concentrate on the seven-game main slate which is loaded with good teams tonight. The 6:30 tips give us Georgetown in Storrs to take on UConn and Duke at Lawrence Joel to take on Wake. Not a bad start! 7 pm Eastern brings Marquette to Providence.
We have to wait until 8:30 for Seton Hall and Xavier from Cincinnati. Virginia also heads down to Miami. 9 pm takes Pitt up to Syracuse. Do they still call it the Loud House for basketball games? We close this out in Charlotte with Oklahoma taking on Florida. This is going to be a fun one!
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 12/20/22, starting at 6:30 pm 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
Souley Boum, Xavier ($8,400)
Boum is lowering the boom on opponents lately. He has at least 34 DraftKings points in four straight with the low mark coming in a 20-point victory over Southern. Boom isn't a high-volume shooter, but he is a very efficient one. He is also an excellent distributor and defender. Almost half of those DraftKings points have come from something other than points.
Bryce Hopkins, Providence ($7,800)
The Kentucky transfer has taken over for the Friars. He has at least 40 DraftKings points in the last three games that weren't blowouts for the Friars, culminating in a double-double against a strong defensive team in Seton Hall. If Hopkins can light up the Hall, I like his chances against a Marquette team that likes to push the pace. Hopkins should be in for another nice game here.
Kadary Richmond, Seton Hall ($6,300)
Richmond usually isn't much of a scorer, but he broke the slate over the weekend against Providence with 28 points in 33 minutes. It may have been a perfect storm of sorts with Femi Odukale out and Al-Amir Dawes going cold from the field, not to mention Tyrese Samuel perpetually in foul trouble.
However, this performance could solidify Richmond as the scorer on this team. Odukale isn't much of a scorer and Dawes isn't that efficient. Richmond still put up really good assists and rebounds, so I'm buying in to see if he can do it again since DraftKings didn't change his price. Richmond has at least 25 DraftKings points in four straight games now.
Milos Uzan, Oklahoma ($4,100)
Uzan is still starting for the Sooners, but his price hasn't budged despite 65.25 DraftKings points in the three games that he has started. Uzan was blanked on the scoreboard against Central Arkansas, but he still dished out nine assists and hauled in four rebounds. He's not reliant upon scoring, which means he's a bargain play that we can trust in any format.
Also consider: Isaiah Wong, Miami(FL) ($8,300); Kam Jones, Marquette ($8,000); Grant Sherfield, Oklahoma ($7,500); Andre Jackson, Connecticut ($6,600); Greg Elliott, Pittsburgh ($5,700); Tyrese Proctor, Duke ($5,100); Alyn Breed, Providence ($3,700)

DraftKings CBB DFS Forwards
Jesse Edwards, Syracuse ($9,500)
It always seemed like there was a little something missing with Edwards last year and even at the beginning of this year. I don't feel that way anymore. Edwards has at least 40 DraftKings points in seven of the last eight games. In the game that he fell short, he still made all nine shots that he took in 23 minutes in the rout of Oakland. That was also the only time that Edwards missed a double-double. He is also one of the best shot blockers in the country right now. He has at least four blocks in half of Syracuse's games this year!
Adama Sanogo, Connecticut ($8,000)
Sanogo's numbers have taken a bit of a hit, but it's not his fault. If UConn would quit blowing opponents out, he would hit 40 DraftKings points nearly every time out. Sanogo has only played more than 30 minutes twice this season, but those have both come in the last four games. If Sanogo can stay out of foul trouble, he has the potential for a huge game against a Georgetown team that might be able to hang around.
Jayden Gardner, Virginia ($6,400)
Gardner is a threat to post a double-double every time he steps on the floor. He held his own in a tough loss against a tough Houston team, so I'm not that worried about Miami. Virginia, as per usual, is a team that thrives on defense. Gardner is one of the better scorers on this team, but the Hoos are a balanced bunch. Most of their guys are cash game plays, but Gardner's scoring and double-double potential give him a little more upside.
Alex Fudge, Florida ($5,600)
On paper, this is another tougher matchup for Fudge. So were UConn, Ohio, and West Virginia. Fudge racked up 77 DraftKings points in those three games. He has double-digit points in four straight games after starting the season slowly and has also cleared double-digits in rebounds twice in that span. He is emerging as a nice complementary piece to Castleton and he is much more affordable.
Also consider: Colin Castleton, Florida ($9,000); Oso Ighodaro, Marquette ($7,400); Blake Hinson, Pittsburgh ($7,300); Benny Williams, Syracuse ($5,900); Federiko Federiko, Pittsburgh ($5,000); Sam Godwin, Oklahoma ($4,300)
