Today's DraftKings CBB DFS lineup picks for 12/23/24. Mike M's top daily fantasy college basketball sleepers to build winning NCAA DFS lineups on DraftKings.
All of the action today comes from the Diamond Head Classic in Honolulu. It's an all-day affair out on the Hawaiian Islands. Since we can't we there in person, we have to settle for DFS.
Today's first game of the Diamond Head Classic pits Charleston against Loyola-Chicago. Next up is Oregon State and Oakland. Nebraska faces the home team for the third game. We close out with Murray State and Charlotte.
This article will provide you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks on DraftKings on 12/23/24, starting at 5:30 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
CJ Fulton, Charleston ($7.1K)

It was a slow DFS day in Honolulu yesterday. It could be more of the same. One of the few bright spots was Fulton. Fulton went for 25+ DraftKings points for the fourth straight game. It was mostly due to his work on the defensive end. If shots start falling in Honolulu, the ceiling for Fulton is pretty high.
Kylen Milton, Murray State ($6.9K)
Milton scored 19 of Murray State's 49 points against Nebraska yesterday. The Cornhuskers are the best defensive team out in Honolulu, so we should see a better game from the Racers today. If Milton can do that against a good defensive team, I'm optimistic about his upside today.
Derrin Boyd, Charleston ($5.7K)
Boyd's shot attempts have increased lately. The shots aren't always falling, but DFS is a game of opportunity. He's getting shots for himself lately. If Boyd keeps taking 10-12 shots per game and gets the shooting percentage back up, he's a bargain at this price.
Josiah Lake II, Oregon State ($4.9K)
It has been a bit of a revolving door of production amongst the Oregon State guards. It was Lake last night with eight points and six rebounds. That's a solid stat line for a bargain play.
Also consider: Des Watson, Loyola-Chicago ($7.2K); Marcus Greene, Hawaii ($7K); Sheldon Edwards Jr., Loyola-Chicago ($6.8K); Jalen Quinn, Loyola-Chicago ($5.8K); Nik Graves, Charlotte ($5.6K); Deywilk Tavarez, Charleston ($5.1K); Jaehshon Thomas, Charlotte ($4.6K)

Today's DraftKings Forwards - CBB DFS Lineup Picks
Michael Rataj, Oregon State ($9.4K)
?? Michael Rataj continues to put up great numbers for Oregon State and show an intriguing blend of fluid athleticism & mid/long range shooting on offense and versatility & IQ on defense
One of the most improved Euros in D1 this year

Another game, another double-double for Rataj. He missed a few more shots than usual and had fewer peripheral stats, but he still finished with one of the best stat lines in Honolulu yesterday.
Allen Mukeba, Oakland ($8.3K)
Mukeba was a terror against the Ramblers yesterday before fouling out. He piled up 20 points and eight rebounds to go with four assists, a steal, and a block. It was the best all-around performance in Honolulu yesterday. He'll be hard-pressed for a repeat performance against Oregon State, but I wouldn't rule it out either.
Miles Rubin, Loyola-Chicago ($7K)
Rubin earned the largest price increase since yesterday thanks to his monster 21 point-nine rebound line against Oakland. He has a chance to dominate Charleston today. The Cougars are one of the smaller teams in Hawaii.
Robert Braswell IV, Charlotte ($5.1K)
Yesterday was the first time in the month of December that Braswell didn't hit double figures in scoring. He still scored nine points and Braswell should see a few more open looks against Murray State. There is solid potential here.
Also consider: Gytis Nemeiksa, Hawaii ($7.8K); Andrew Morgan, Nebraska ($6.4K); Berke Buyuktuncel, Nebraska ($6.1K); Parsa Fallah, Oregon State ($6K); Lazar Djokovic, Charleston ($5.3K); Dean Reiber, Charlotte ($3.6K)
