DraftKings CBB DFS Lineup Picks for 1/11/22 - Daily Fantasy College Basketball Advice

We have another a busy Tuesday night with 11 games on tap. We'll see more of this with college football now done until August. I'm going to miss football, but we'll still have some good times with college basketball between now and March. We tip off with Kentucky in Nashville to take on Vandy, Texas Tech in Waco to take on the number 1 Bears, and Marquette hosting DePaul. An hour later, Iowa State and Kansas get underway at the Phog along with Miami in Tallahassee.

The night rolls on with Ole Miss in College Station, Nebraska hosting Illinois, and the Red River Rivalry basketball edition in Austin. We top off the night with the Iron Bowl basketball edition in Tuscaloosa, Oklahoma State heading to Morgantown, and Providence heading to Omaha to take on Creighton. This is going to be a really nice slate!

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 1/11/22 starting at 7 pm Eastern. I’ll be providing multiple player suggestions for players at guard and forward, aiming to highlight one option apiece at the high, middle, and lower end of the salary scale. Good luck, RotoBallers.

DraftKings CBB DFS Guards

Javon Freeman-Liberty, DePaul ($9,200)

Freeman-Liberty scored more than half of his team's total points against Villanova over the weekend. The only thing that might stop JFL here is a blowout. That shouldn't happen tonight. Marquette has won their last two games by a combined 60 points over Georgetown and Providence. Freeman-Liberty proved that even if the Blue Demons are blown out of the gym, he still has a legit shot at 50 DraftKings points. He has cracked 50 twice in the last month. Both of those games were decided by 15 points or more.

Scotty Pippen Jr., Vanderbilt ($7,900)

Pippen has not scored under 25 DraftKings points since early November in a couple of blowouts in favor of Vandy. That streak shouldn't end tonight. Kentucky is a good team, but so were the BYU, Loyola-Chicago, and Arkansas teams that Pippen has run into during that stretch. Pippen contributes across the board and is an efficient shooter. That seems like a reasonable price, even against at team like Kentucky.

Charlie Moore, Miami ($6,800)

The Hurricanes have some good guards this year, but I'm leaning towards Moore because he's cheap and is on quite a roll right now. Over the last three games – against the likes of Duke, Wake Forest, and Syracuse – Moore has racked up 120.75 DraftKings points. He is proving to be a great facilitator on offense and an above average shooter. Moore has done it in different ways too. It was seven steals against Duke. Six made threes against the Orange. Seven assists against Wake. Moore has the best floor of the Miami players and has tremendous upside for the price.

Daeshun Ruffin, Mississippi ($5,500)

The freshman started the new year with a new role: starter. He has started both games in 2022 for the Rebels and put up 52.5 DraftKings points. Ruffin was outstanding off the bench in December to earn this role. After a clunker against Tennessee, he found his footing against Mississippi State. There are going to be ups and downs for Ruffin, especially in this conference, but he is a capable scorer and his passing is getting better. He has a nice ceiling for the price if he's going to be playing 30 minutes a game.

Olivier-Maxence Prosper, Marquette ($3,800)

The freshman cracked the starting five against UConn on December 21. In the four games since, Prosper has 100.75 DraftKings points. He played more than 30 minutes in the close games against UConn and Creighton, so it appears as though Marquette is going to leave him out there as long as he is performing like this. It's a tougher matchup with DePaul, but the price is so low that Prosper should have a nice game here.

Also consider: Izaiah Brockington, Iowa State ($8,800); Tyty Washington, Kentucky ($8,200); Jahvon Quinerly, Alabama ($7,500); Jordan Miller, Miami ($6,200); Trent Frazier, Illinois ($5,900); Sean McNeil, West Virginia ($5,000); Andrew Jones, Texas ($4,500)

DraftKings CBB DFS Forwards

Kofi Cockburn, Illinois ($9,600)

Cockburn is a tough sell tonight since Nebraska might get blown out. They lost to Rutgers by 28 on Saturday after hanging around with Michigan State and Ohio State. Which Nebraska team will show up? If its one that keeps this game close, Cockburn could break the slate. He has at least 43 DraftKings points in the last four games and hasn't been under 33 on the season. The floor is worth paying up for since the ceiling is still high if Nebraska can hang around.

Nysier Brooks, Mississippi ($6,400)

There's a precipitous drop at forward tonight, but there are enough guards that are eligible to help create a softer landing. However, there's a lot of value at forward tonight. Brooks might be one of those. He has been a constant double-double threat for the Rebels this year even though he's usually quiet on the offensive end and doesn't get to the line much. Brooks is an outstanding rebounder and rim protector, giving him a solid floor. We just have to hope he gets enough looks to hit double digits in points.

Jordan Miller, Miami ($6,200)

Miller gets a lot of run when Miami decides to run small as well. College basketball isn't as positionless as the NBA, but some teams are moving towards that. Miami is one of them. Miller has four straight games of at least 26 DraftKings points just in time for ACC play. The Hurricanes have taken out Syracuse, Wake, and Duke while scoring 256 points in those three games. Miami is scoring a ton of points. A pure scorer like Miller is one of the driving forces behind this and provides nice value in DFS.

Henry Coleman III, Texas A&M ($5,100)

Coleman's move to the bench was short-lived. He got back into the starting lineup when SEC play began. All Coleman has done in those two games is put up 72.5 DraftKings points in only 57 minutes. Ole Miss might put up a little more of a fight, but if Coleman cracks 30 against a team like Arkansas, I'm not too worried about his production going forward.

Keylan Boone, Oklahoma State ($3,400)

Boone put up a monster against Texas over the weekend, so this is a shot that the Cowboys play him more based on that performance. That was the third strong game in a row for Boone. He now has 54 DraftKings points in the last three games over 68 minutes. That's not a great per-minute score, but we're paying near minimum price for a GPP dart. We can do worse.

Also consider: Oscar Tshiebwe, Kentucky ($9,500); Ryan Kalkbrenner, Creighton ($7,600); Timmy Allen, Texas ($7,400); Derrick Walker, Nebraska ($6,500); Jalen Wilson, Kansas ($5,400); Gabe Osabuohien, West Virginia ($4,100)
