Remember what I said about the Big Ten (18) last night? Well, they're going for it! A two-game Friday night gains a lot more luster when it's two Big Ten (18) games!
We begin with a rivalry game in Madison with Minnesota making the trip over on I-94. The nightcap comes to us from College Park as UCLA makes the long trip east to take on the Terrapins.
This article will provide you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks on DraftKings on 1/10/25, starting at 7 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.

Blackwell has been on a scoring binge in 2025. In two games this calendar year, he has 53 points, 12 rebounds, eight assists, and a steal. He will cool off at some point, but it shouldn't be against Minnesota. It is not a good defensive team on the perimeter.
Lu'Cye Patterson, Minnesota ($6.8K)
The transfer from Charlotte has finally filled the hole left vacant by Tyler Cochran's injury. Patterson is becoming more comfortable in this offense. He has 34 points against Ohio State and Purdue -- two NCAA Tournament teams right now. I'm not worried about this Wisconsin team.
Sebastian Mack, UCLA ($5K)
Mack played his way into the lineup with Eric Dailey out, but he stuck even with Dailey back thanks to his hot shooting. The minutes may dry up if his shot does, but Maryland is reeling right now. Mack could have another strong game tonight.
Also consider: John Tonje, Wisconsin ($7.6K); Kobe Johnson, UCLA ($6.7K); Rodney Rice, Maryland ($6.3K); Kamari McGee, Wisconsin ($4.8K); Lazar Stefanovic, UCLA ($4.2K)

Today's DraftKings Forwards - CBB DFS Lineup Picks
Derik Queen, Maryland ($8.8K)

Queen had an awful game in Seattle but followed it up with a strong game against a good Oregon team in Eugene. His game is still raw, which leads to some inconsistency, but Queen might be the most talented freshman in a generational class. He's at worst in the top three of this class right now. The potential is higher for Queen than anyone else on the slate.
Tyler Bilodeau, UCLA ($7K)
This is a tougher matchup for Bilodeau tonight, but why is he this cheap? He hasn't hit 30 DraftKings points since the North Carolina game on December 21, but the three teams he has played since -- Michigan, Nebraska, and Gonzaga -- are all outstanding defensive teams. Maryland is a notch below them, making Bilodeau an intriguing option.
Eric Dailey Jr., UCLA ($6K)
Dailey had a solid game in his return to the court this week. That's what we've come to expect from Dailey. He won't break a slate, but in most games, he's right around 20 DraftKings points. The exceptions are the games when he lands in foul trouble.
Also consider: Dawson Garcia, Minnesota ($8.2K); Steven Crowl, Wisconsin ($7.4K); Parker Fox, Minnesota ($5.8K)
