We have a dozen games on the docket for the main (early) slate of college basketball games today. We have a lot of nooners with Kentucky in Athens to take on the Bulldogs. Maryland hosts Penn State. We have Providence heading up to Queens to take on the Johnnies. NC State climbs Chestnut Hill to take on Boston College. Florida State welcomes Pitt to Tallahassee. Texas brings in West Virginia to end the early part of the day.
An hour later, we have Oklahoma in desperate need of a win hosting Kansas in Norman. We close it out with five 2 pm games. We have the basketball version of the Iron Bowl in Auburn. Illinois hosts Rutgers. UConn heads to the Birdcage to take on Creighton. Clemson heads up to Chapel Hill to take on the Tarheels. We end this with Virginia Tech taking on the Irish in South Bend. This is going to be a good one!
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 2/11/23, starting at noon Eastern. I’ll provide multiple player suggestions 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
Devin Carter, Providence ($8,400)
I'm not that high on any of the expensive guards today. Carter put up 36.75 DraftKings points in the first meeting and has been over 28 DraftKings points in all but the UConn game since Christmas. This Providence team is running through Carter right now. That helps us a lot in DFS circles. The best part is that the Friars don't rely on Carter to score. He provides most of his value through peripheral numbers.
Makai Ashton-Langford, Boston College ($7,900)
Ashton-Langford has cleared 32 DraftKings points in five of the last six games. The slip-up was against one of the best defensive teams in the country in Virginia, so we can give him a pass for that one. We weren't planning on using him in that game anyway. I think we can trust this recent surge from Makai after a rough December. Five out of six is good enough for me!
Jayden Epps, Illinois ($5,000)
The freshman has become the focal point of the Illini offense. He has played more than 30 minutes in four straight games, dumping in 55 points in those four games alone! His price hasn't grown at the rate of production, which has left him as a great value on DraftKings. Until they come around, Epps is a great value play.
Brevin Galloway, Clemson ($4,900)
Galloway has put up at least 20 DraftKings points in all but one game this calendar year. Galloway plays a lot of minutes and spends the majority of his court time with the ball in his hands. That is a nice quality to have in a value play. He can't help but accumulate stats and it gives him a good floor.
Also consider: Matthew Cleveland, Florida State ($9,200); Tristen Newton, Connecticut ($8,600); Cason Wallace, Kentucky ($7,500); Caleb Mills, Florida State ($7,300); Grant Sherfield, Oklahoma ($7,200); Paul Mulcahy, Rutgers ($6,200); Kedrian Johnson, West Virginia ($5,700); Andre Curbelo, St. John's ($4,700); Nike Sibande, Pittsburgh ($4,400); Otega Oweh, Oklahoma ($3,900)

DraftKings CBB DFS Forwards
Oscar Tshiebwe, Kentucky ($9,900)
I know...I know. Tshiebwe's numbers have been down of late, but the last time that he faced the Bulldogs he went nuclear. Tshiebwe scored 78 DraftKings points in one of the most dominating college basketball performances we have seen in the last few years. Bacot is the safer play and we know what we're getting from him. But man, that ceiling from Tshiebwe is intoxicating. Intoxicating enough for me to take that plunge.
Grant Basile, Virginia Tech ($8,700)
Basile has put up some big numbers lately and the Irish are pretty weak on the interior. He has at least 30 DraftKings points in each of the last five games, topping 40 in three of those and even clearing 50 once. If you don't trust Oscar (and I don't blame you) and Bacot's recent adventures in fouling have you nervous, Basile is a great plan B (or C, whatever the case may be).
Aundre Hyatt, Rutgers ($5,400)
With Mawot Mag out the rest of the season, we are going to be seeing a lot more of Hyatt in the role we did earlier this week. Hyatt put up 18 DraftKings points, which is a bit of a disappointment. However, he's normally a 50% shooter at worst and he shot just 29% in that game. If he gets his shooting back to where it should be at the minutes he is going to log with Wat out, we are going to see some fantasy goodness out of Hyatt.
James Okonkwo, West Virginia ($3,900)
Okonkwo does a lot in few minutes. He has 47.75 DraftKings points in just 28 minutes over the past two games. West Virginia does run about ten deep, so this allotment of minutes should be safe. Judging by his production during that time, I'm hoping the Mountaineers start running him around 20 minutes per game. If they do, he might break the slate!
Also consider: Armando Bacot, North Carolina ($10,200); Johni Broome, Auburn ($8,900); Adama Sanogo, Connecticut ($8,600); PJ Hall, Clemson ($8,100); Jacob Toppin, Kentucky ($7,400); Jaylin Williams, Auburn ($6,700); Aundre Hyatt, Rutgers ($5,400); Charles Bediako, Alabama ($4,800); Ven-Allen Lubin, Notre Dame ($4,400)
