We have another big split slate tonight, focusing on the ACC/SEC Challenge and the Big 12 (16)/Big East Challenge. We have two earlier games tonight with Ohio State heading to College Park to take on the Terrapins and Baylor heading to Hartford to take on UConn.
The meat is in the middle again with Alabama heading to the Dean Dome to take on North Carolina. Virginia heads down to Gainesville to take on the Gators. Marquette is in Ames for some Hilton Magic. Kansas heads up to the Birdcage in Omaha to take on Creighton. We close this out with another Big Ten (18) game with Michigan State in the Barn to face the Gophers.
This article will provide you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks on DraftKings on 12/4/24, starting at 6:30 p.m. EST. I’ll give 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
Mark Sears, Alabama ($7.9K)
Sears rebounded from an awful game against Illinois with three consecutive 30+ DraftKings point games at The Players Era tournament. His shot is still a little off, but the steals and assists keep his floor high. This is a rough night for the upper tier of guards. Sears has by far the best matchup.
Keshon Gilbert, Iowa State ($7.2K)
Good morning, Keshon Gilbert highlights

I like using Gilbert because he is a low-risk proposition. He's an excellent passer and a good defender. Even if his shot isn't falling (which is a rarity in itself), Gilbert always finds a way to get a good stat line. He has at least 25 DraftKings points in every game this season.
Isaac Asuma, Minnesota ($5.3K)
Asuma has filled in nicely for Tyler Cochran, who is still out indefinitely. The production could dry up whenever Cochran returns, but it doesn't feel like that will happen for a while. Asuma has between 18 and 25 DraftKings points in every game since he became a starter. He doesn't have upside, but the floor is great for a value play.
Andrew Rohde, Virginia ($3.8K)
Rohde might be the best pure scorer in the Virginia backcourt. This team has a lot of contributors so it can be difficult to tell who will step up on a given night. Rohde has scored in double figures in four of the last five games (he scored eight in the other). He's dangerous from any part of the floor and puts up a lot of points for this price range.
Also consider: Bruce Thornton, Ohio State ($8.1K); Walter Clayton Jr., Florida ($7.5K); Curtis Jones, Iowa State ($7K); Seth Trimble, North Carolina ($6.7K); Isaac McKneely, Virginia ($6K); Robert O. Wright III, Baylor ($5.2K); Evan Mahaffey, Ohio State ($5K); Dai Dai Ames, Virginia ($4.4K)

Omier has picked up where he left off with Miami. UConn isn't a good matchup, but Alex Karaban is out tonight. Tarris Reed Jr. is a solid defender, but with Karaban being out, Omier will have a lot more room to operate. I like his chances now.
Derik Queen, Maryland ($7.7K)
Queen has been a constant double-double threat since he stepped foot on the court for Maryland. He's still a little raw as a freshman, but Queen is an efficient scorer and an absolute beast on the boards. He's a sneaky-good passer with solid defensive chops as well. This isn't an easy matchup, but Queen is so good in so many areas that he still feels like a sure thing.
Devin Royal, Ohio State ($6.4K)
It's going to be a fun matchup between Queen and Royal just in name alone! Pitt kept Royal off the glass, but they couldn't keep his shots from falling. He's still a double-double threat in the game. Royal is averaging 12.4 points per game on the season, but he has 65 points in the last four games. He's trending upward.
Jaylin Stewart, Connecticut ($4.2K)
Stewart started in place of Karaban on Saturday, putting up 16 points and seven rebounds in 24 minutes. Samson Johnson and Liam McNeeley will still command solid minutes, but Stewart looked good with the starters and comes at a huge discount. I'll run with him again.
Also consider: Ryan Kalkbrenner, Creighton ($8.8K); Jamiya Neal, Creighton ($7.3K); Alex Condon, Florida ($6.9K); David Joplin, Marquette ($6.7K); Dishon Jackson, Iowa State ($5.6K); Blake Buchanan, Virginia ($4.9K); Tafara Gapare, Maryland ($4.6K); Elijah Saunders, Virginia ($3.4K)
