We had a strong night last night as I had most of the spots right. We have some big names and big teams in action tonight and not all of them are against overmatched teams. We start with Kansas and Michigan State from Atlanta. That's the kind of night we're looking at!
Next up is Towson in Columbia to take on South Carolina. Florida Atlantic heads up to Orlando to play UCF. Chicago State heads to Austin to take on Texas. South Alabama is in Oxford to take on Mississippi. Sam Houston heads up to Waco to face Baylor. We end where we started, back in Atlanta for Duke and Kentucky. What a night!
This article will provide you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks on DraftKings on 11/12/24, starting at 6:30 p.m. EST. I’ll provide multiple player suggestions at guard and forward, aiming to highlight one option at the salary scale's high, middle, and lower levels. Good luck, RotoBallers.

Today's DraftKings Guards - CBB DFS Lineup Picks
Cooper Flagg, Duke ($10.5K)
Cooper Flagg put up his first career double-double tonight:
▪️ 13 PTS
▪️ 5-10 FG
▪️ 11 REB
▪️ 3 BLK
▪️ 3 AST
▪️ 2 STL pic.twitter.com/dHyk0i1RUb— B/R Hoops (@brhoops) November 9, 2024
Before you go off on that small double-double, realize that it was in a massive blowout. Flagg only played 25 minutes. He should see more minutes against Kentucky tonight.
Why am I willing to pay up for a true freshman at this price? Flagg lit up Team USA in the Olympic warmups over the summer. That's when people paid attention. At this point, Flagg is likely for GPPs only at this price, but the potential is there.
Ken Evans Jr., Florida Atlantic ($7.8K)
The Owls lost a lot last year, but Evans is helping make up for it. The Jackson State transfer has 28 points, 11 assists, nine rebounds, seven steals, and a block in just 49 minutes over two games so far. This will be the first test for the Owls. Expect Evans to play minutes in the mid-30s which will push his stats even higher.
Koby Brea, Kentucky ($5.6K)
There are a lot of new faces in Lexington this year, but the Dayton transfer has made one of the largest impacts. Brea has 38 points, eight rebounds, four assists, and a steal in 46 minutes so far. He'll play a lot more minutes against Duke tonight. Brea routinely played 36-38 minutes last year for the Flyers. He might be for Duke tonight.
Christian May, Towson ($5.2K)
There's not as much good value tonight, so I'm hunting for lower-priced guys who play a lot of minutes. May has played 64 minutes over two games so far with 20 points and 14 rebounds. We can work with that.
Also consider: Darius Johnson, Central Florida ($9.3K); Jaden Akins, Michigan State ($8K); Jordan Ivy-Curry, Central Florida ($7.2K); Kon Knueppel, Duke ($6.7K); Leland Walker, Florida Atlantic ($6.1K); Otega Oweh, Kentucky ($5.9K); Dorian Finister, Sam Houston ($5.6K); Nendah Tarke, Towson ($5.2K)

Collin Murray-Boyles, South Carolina ($10K)
Collin Murray-Boyles is solid in this season's debut
• 19 points
• 16 boards
• 4 assists
• 7-8 FG / 5-7 FTThe South Carolina sophomore is a strong candidate for a lottery pick pic.twitter.com/aAPgudxsp3
— Symbiose (@SymbioseBB) November 9, 2024
CMB was sometimes inconsistent as a freshman last year for the Gamecocks. That may happen again this year, but so far CMB has dazzled. He has 36 points, 23 rebounds, five assists, four blocks, and two steals in two games. He might be worth this crazy price tonight.
Amari Williams, Kentucky ($8.5K)
The transfer from Drexel has dominated the paint for the Wildcats in the early going. Williams has 25 points, 27 rebounds, five assists, a steal, and two blocks in just 40 minutes so far. The Kentucky starters haven't played a ton of minutes yet, but they should tonight against Duke.
Williams played around 28 minutes per game down the stretch for Drexel last season. Don't expect much more than that.
Kian Scroggins, Sam Houston ($4.9K)
The Bearkats mostly run four-guard lineups, but that may have to change against the size of Baylor. Scroggins has been the most successful big for the Bearkats so far with 22 points, 10 rebounds, an assist, a block, and a steal in only 38 minutes. If he can get more minutes and stay out of foul trouble, Scroggins could have a good night for the price.
Barry Dunning Jr., South Alabama ($4.4K)
Dunning played sparingly at UAB last year, but he has already played 63 minutes for the Jaguars this year. Dunning has 22 points, nine rebounds, and an assist in his time on the court. He's not a great per-minute player, but he can put up stats to pay off the price when he's playing this much.
Also consider: Hunter Dickinson, Kansas ($10.2K); Norchad Omier, Baylor ($9.5K); Jaemyn Brakefield, Mississippi ($7.4K); Kadin Shedrick, Texas ($6.9K); Khaman Maluach, Duke ($6.3K); Jaxon Kohler, Michigan State ($5K); Flory Bidunga, Kansas ($4.4K)
