We have a big day of college basketball in front of us today and I'll be with you the whole way! Most of the action is on the main slate, which is early today. The afternoon and evening slates have a ton of options as well! K-State gets us started in Newark early facing St. John's as the Big 12 (16)/Big East Challenge continues.
Nebraska heads to East Lansing to take on Sparty. Rutgers is in Columbus to face Ohio State. Clemson is down in Florida to take on Miami. Syracuse heads to Indiana to take on the Irish. Boston College is on Tobacco Road facing Wake. We have the Battle of Wisconsin from Milwaukee with Wisconsin facing Marquette. Iowa is in Ann Arbor to take on the Wolverines. We have Georgia Tech in the Dean Dome to take on the Tar Heels.
Pitt is in Blacksburg to face the Hokies. We end this in Dallas with Virginia facing SMU. This article will provide you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks on DraftKings on 12/7/24, starting at 11:30 a.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
Kam Jones, Marquette ($10.2K)

Jones has made sure Marquette doesn't miss Tyler Kolek. Jones played a sidekick role last year but has taken over the team this year. He is averaging 19 points, five rebounds, 6.6 assists, and 1.4 steals so far this season.
Even though he was ice cold from the floor against Iowa State, Jones still piled up nine assists and eight rebounds to hit nearly 40 DraftKings points. Even if Wisconsin manages to limit his scoring, Jones will still find ways to give us value.
Ace Bailey, Rutgers ($7.9K)
Dylan Harper is the better player, but not by $2K. Bailey has made half of his shots over the last two games and put up his second double-double of the season last weekend. We just saw Ohio State get run out of the gym by Maryland. There is potential here for both Harper and Bailey.
Isaac McKneely, Virginia ($6.2K)
The Hoos have a lot of value guards, but they are inconsistent. I prefer to know what I'm getting. McKneely has always been a capable scorer, but he has been dishing out assists and hauling down boards at a higher rate in the last couple of weeks. He has at least 21 DraftKings points in four straight games.
Jaeden Mustaf, Georgia Tech ($4.9K)
The freshman has started the last three games with Javian McCollum out. He may not give the job back. Mustaf has 50 points, nine rebounds, six assists, and four steals in those three games over 83 minutes. The Yellow Jackets are going to need his scoring against Carolina.
Also consider: Dylan Harper, Rutgers ($9.9K); Jaland Lowe, Pittsburgh ($9.2K); Brock Harding, Iowa ($7.5K); Roddy Gayle Jr., Michigan ($6.6K); Connor Essegian, Nebraska ($6.5K); Nimari Burnett, Michigan ($5.7K); Jaeden Zackery, Clemson ($5.4K); Tre Holloman, Michigan State ($5.2K); Elijah Moore, Syracuse ($4.6K); Jaquan Carlos, Syracuse ($3.7K)

Today's DraftKings Forwards - CBB DFS Lineup Picks
Ian Schieffelin, Clemson ($9.2K)
Only one men’s Division I player in the last 25 years has put up 10+ PTS, 20+ REB & 4+ AST in a win against an AP Top 5 opponent:

Schieffelin has 61 rebounds over the last four games alone. Miami lost their size up front when Norchad Omier left for Baylor. The presence of Lynn Kidd from Virginia Tech helps, but Schieffelin and PJ Hall handled the Hokies last year. Schieffelin could be in for another big game.
Devin Royal, Ohio State ($6.8K)
Royal has scored in double figures in five straight games, picking up two double-doubles and falling just shy of a third in that span. Rutgers is a guard-oriented squad, so we could see another strong game out of Royal. He put up 30.25 DraftKings points in just 25 minutes in the blowout loss to Maryland.
Matt Cross, SMU ($5.7K)
Cross isn't a consistent scorer, but he is a consistent menace on defense and on the glass. He has at least eight rebounds in five straight games, recording two double-doubles in that span. It's not often you find a constant double-double threat in this price range.
Duncan Powell, Georgia Tech ($4.8K)
Baye Ndongo's constant brushes with the law (officiating) have resulted in more minutes for Powell. Ndongo has spent most of the last three games in foul trouble. Powell has shined with excellent work on the glass. He's still a work in progress offensively, but if he's going to haul in double-digit boards at this price, I'm paying attention.
Also consider: RJ Luis Jr., St. John's ($9.7K); Owen Freeman, Iowa ($7.7K); Tae Davis, Notre Dame ($7.2K); Baye Ndongo, Georgia Tech ($7K); Zuby Ejiofor, St. John's ($6.6K); Chad Venning, Boston College ($6.1K); Blake Buchanan, Virginia ($5.1K); Samet Yigitoglu, SMU ($4.9K); Elijah Saunders, Virginia ($4.4K); Ven-Allen Lubin, North Carolina ($4.1K)
