We have eight members of the Sweet Sixteen. The other eight will be crowned today. The DFS tournaments will get smaller after today, but the competition will be stiffer. That can make it harder to unlock value.
We need to find some players who play big in big situations. Previous NCAA Tournament experience can come in very handy at this time of year. We have a lot of those players in action today.
This article will provide you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks on DraftKings for 3/23/25, starting at 12:10 p.m. EDT. 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
Donovan Dent, New Mexico ($8.6K)
There's 2 players in the tournament that LOVE to get out and run...

Someone needs to explain to me like I'm five why Nique Clifford's price went up and Dent's went down. I understand Dent's going down. This is a tough matchup, and the price has been adjusted accordingly.
Dent has at least 30 DraftKings points in every game since January 14 and has at least 28 DK points in every game since December 28. Good luck slowing him down. I still trust that streak against Michigan State.
Walter Clayton Jr., Florida ($8.4K)
Clayton is one of the best pure scorers left in the tournament. He has at least 18 actual points and 33 DraftKings points in six straight games. UConn won't be the team to slow him down.
Jaden Bradley, Arizona ($6.6K)
This is a good matchup for the Arizona guards. We always run the risk of Caleb Love going off in this situation, but it has been a while since he has done that. Love is fine for GPPs, but I prefer the more stable stat line of Bradley with almost equal upside at a much lower price.
Jeremy Fears Jr., Michigan State ($5.4K)
His younger brother is out of the tournament, so the whole family will be on hand as the elder Fears works his craft against New Mexico. Michigan State has a lot of good players, but no real star. Fears has been one of the most consistent players on the team during this run.
Fears has at least 20 DraftKings points in five straight games. That number would be even higher if he could cut down on the turnovers. The potential is here for a very good game at a reasonable price.
Also consider: Nique Clifford, Colorado State ($9.4K); Mark Sears, Alabama ($8.5K); Ja'Kobi Gillespie, Maryland ($8K); Jase Richardson, Michigan State ($7.1K); Hassan Diarra, Connecticut ($6K); Will Richard, Florida ($5.9K); Tyrese Proctor, Duke ($5.3K); Kyan Evans, Colorado State ($5.2K); Nate Heise, Iowa State ($4.5K); Jalen Celestine, Baylor ($3.7K)

Today's DraftKings Forwards - CBB DFS Lineup Picks
Nate Bittle, Oregon ($9.3K)
Oregon senior Nate Bittle feels a bit under-appreciated nationally. The 7-footer is a legit defensive anchor despite some athletic limitations who has made serious strides as a shooter. This is his 34th made three this year after making 26 in his first three years combined. pic.twitter.com/bmIbculDuV

Bittle was efficient against Liberty, but he wasn't needed more than the 23 minutes that he played. He'll be well-rested for Arizona. Bittle has at least 30 DraftKings points in 10 straight games, topping 40 in half of those. He has a strong floor and a good ceiling against the Wildcats.
Joshua Jefferson, Iowa State ($8.2K)
The Cyclones have turned to Jefferson for a little more offense with Keshon Gilbert out. He has responded with double figures in points in five straight games. Jefferson has at least 28 DraftKings points in all but one game since February 1. He has more than 25 in every game this calendar year.
Mitchell Saxen, St. Mary's ($7.1K)
Alabama bleeds points everywhere on the court. St. Mary's will try to slow the game down. If they're successful, Saxen will be as well. He has 32 of St. Marys' 110 points over the last two games. Saxen will be less of a factor if this game plays at Alabama's pace, so buyer beware.
Milan Momcilovic, Iowa State ($5.7K)
When Momcilovic is on, he can score with anyone. He's not nearly as inconsistent as he was early in the season. His 20 points against Lipscomb were the most since November 27, but he has scored in double figures in nine of the last 10 games. The Cyclones will need the scoring from Momcilovic to advance again.
Also consider: Norchad Omier, Baylor ($9.2K); Cooper Flagg, Duke ($9K); Amari Williams, Kentucky ($7.6K); Will Riley, Illinois ($7.2K); Andrew Carr, Kentucky ($6.5K); Mouhamed Dioubate, Alabama ($6K); Jaemyn Brakefield, Mississippi ($4.9K); Carter Bryant, Arizona ($4.7K); Coen Carr, Michigan State ($4.4K)
