Today's Night DraftKings CBB DFS lineup picks for 1/13/24. Mike's top daily fantasy college basketball sleepers to build winning NCAA DFS lineups on DraftKings.
This week the night slate contains more action than the afternoon slate with 10 games on tap. This is the only slate today without mid-major teams on it. These are all power conferences with the Pac-12 and Big 12 well represented.
The SEC starts us off with LSU at Auburn and also gives us Bama in StarkVegas. The Big 12 has Texas in Morgantown, Oklahoma State in Ames, Houston in Fort Worth, and Cincinnati in Waco. The ACC's only offering is a good one with Miami in Blacksburg. Arizona heads to Pullman to take on Wazzu, Cal is in Eugene to take on the Ducks, and USC heads to Boulder to close our Saturday of hoops.
In this article, I will provide you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 1/13/24, starting at 6 P.M. Eastern. I’ll provide multiple player suggestions at guard and forward, aiming to highlight one option at the high, middle, and lower levels of the salary scale. Good luck, RotoBallers.

Today's DraftKings Guards - CBB DFS Lineup Picks
Mark Sears, Alabama ($9,000)
Sears is capable of putting up monster numbers and often does. He has scored 62 points, hauled in 10 rebounds, dished out six assists, and picked up six steals in two games this month. Are you going to be the one to bet against him? I definitely won't in cash games. It's even hard to fade him in GPP formats right now.
Jalen Cook, LSU ($7,300)
Cook gives the Tigers a much-needed second scoring option alongside Jordan Wright. Both are strong options tonight, but I'm going with the track record of Cook. He has scored in double figures in all five games that he has played this season and dished out at least five assists in three of those games. His floor is just a touch more stable than Wright's.
Kerr Kriisa, West Virginia ($5,400)
Just as he was last year with Arizona, Kriisa is an inconsistent producer. When his shot is falling, he can move you up the leaderboard very quickly. When it's not, he's like an albatross around your lineup. The upside makes Kriisa a popular GPP pick, especially at this price. We've seen his ceiling...just not this year. He has yet to have that defining game in Morgantown, but he has come close a couple of times.
K.D. Johnson, Auburn ($4,900)
It says a lot for Auburn's depth when a guy like Johnson comes off the bench. Johnson is a quick and efficient scorer, strong on the boards, and a solid passer. He even plays some defense. Johnson only plays about 20-25 minutes per game, but he has topped 25 DraftKings points twice in the last three games.
Also consider: Jaylon Tyson, California ($8,700); Caleb Love, Arizona ($8,000); Jamal Shead, Houston ($7,700); Sean Pedulla, Virginia Tech ($7,100); Jackson Shelstad, Oregon ($7,000); Kylan Boswell, Arizona ($6,000); Trevian Tennyson, TCU ($5,800); Shakeel Moore, Mississippi State ($5,100); Langston Love, Baylor ($5,000); Tre Donaldson, Auburn ($4,500)

Today's DraftKings Forwards - CBB DFS Lineup Picks
Emanuel Miller, TCU ($8,100)
Miller had two of his worst games of the season for Christmas and New Year's, but strong performances against Oklahoma and Kansas – two of the toughest defenses in a conference full of them – has me ready to jump back on the Miller train. He scored 47 points and hauled in 14 rebounds in those games. TCU leaned on him to upset Oklahoma and they came within two points of knocking off the Jayhawks in Lawrence. It feels like Miller is back on track.
Oumar Ballo, Arizona ($7,500)
Ballo had a dreadful game against Colorado to start January, scoring just four points. It was his only time not finishing in double figures so far this season. The thing is...despite the terrible scoring number, Ballo still put up 23.25 DraftKings points. That's a pretty good floor and gives me confidence to use him. I know Ballo is still going to post solid stats even if the shots aren't falling.
Dylan Disu, Texas ($6,900)
The foot injury that derailed Disu (and possibly the entire team) in the NCAA tournament kept Disu out until a couple of weeks ago. Texas finally put him back in the starting lineup against the Bearcats this week and Disu went nuclear. He scored a career-high 33 points to go with six rebounds, four steals, two blocks, and an assist. This is our last chance to get him at an affordable price.
Cody Williams, Colorado ($5,900)
Williams made his return this week after missing more than a month with a wrist injury. He put up 16 points, four rebounds, two assists, and two steals in 38 minutes. That's more minutes than Williams was playing before the injury! The wrist is fine, and Williams looks really cheap right now. He likely won't be next week, so I'll take the bargain while I can.
Also consider: Norchad Omier, Miami (FL) ($8,800); Fardaws Aimaq, California ($7,800); Isaac Jones, Washington State ($7,300); Tolu Smith, Mississippi State ($7,100); Jalen Bridges, Baylor ($6,500); Milan Momcilovic, Iowa State ($5,600); Robbie Beran, Virginia Tech ($4,600)
