Things cool off a little bit tonight, but not much! We still have seven games on tap with a couple of mid-major games interspersed with the power conferences. That makes things a little more interesting. The normal start time only has two games tonight with Michigan in College Park to take on Maryland and Florida Atlantic in New Orleans to take on Tulane.
The rest of the games are either Midwest or West Coast. Michigan State heads to Champaign to take on Illinois. UCLA is in Salt Lake City to face Utah. Gonzaga heads to California to take on Santa Clara. Stanford is in Corvallis to take on the Beavers. We close this out in Seattle with Arizona State in town.
In this article, I will provide you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 1/11/24, starting at 7 p.m. Eastern. I’ll provide multiple player suggestions at guard and forward, aiming to highlight one option at the high, middle, and lower levels of the salary scale. Good luck, RotoBallers.

Today's DraftKings Guards - CBB DFS Lineup Picks
Jahmir Young, Maryland ($8,700)
Young has scored 106 points over his last four games alone. That's well above his 19.9 average on the season. On top of that, he has 30 rebounds, nine assists, four steals, and a block to go with all of those points. Young padded his stats a little against Nicholls State, but two of those four games were against UCLA and Purdue. If he can rack up stats like that against those teams, his floor is still very high against Michigan.
A.J. Hoggard, Michigan State ($7,000)
Hoggard is a solid scoring option, but his real value lies in his defense and passing skills. He is averaging six assists per game since the beginning of December while picking up 11 steals in eight games. Hoggard has scored in double figures in every game since the Duke contest on November 14. The ceiling on Hoggard isn't that high, but he consistently puts up 30 DraftKings points. That's a good return on the price.
Nimari Burnett, Michigan ($6,200)
The Alabama transfer will get some chances to shine in the near future. Dug McDaniel is suspended for the next six road games for the Wolverines, so Burnett should take on more of a scoring role with McDaniel out. We don't really know what Michigan is going to look like without McDaniel, but most of his contributions were scoring and Burnett is the best outside scorer that Michigan has.
Tre Holloman, Michigan State ($4,600)
Holloman was a non-factor against Northwestern earlier this week, but I still feel like that's an outlier. Holloman had at least 20 DraftKings points in four of the five games before Sunday since Jeremy Fears Jr. went down. Holloman's poor showing against the Wildcats should keep the ownership down. He's still my favorite value play in GPP formats.
Also consider: Tyson Walker, Michigan State ($8,200); Ryan Nembhard, Gonzaga ($7,700); Quincy Guerrier, Illinois ($7,300); Jaden Akins, Michigan State ($6,100); Adam Miller, Arizona State ($5,800); Nick Boyd, Florida Atlantic ($5,500); Brenton Knapper, Santa Clara ($4,700)

Today's DraftKings Forwards - CBB DFS Lineup Picks
Marcus Domask, Illinois ($8,000)
Domask has played at least 34 minutes in all four games since the dismissal of Terrence Shannon. He has taken over the scoring role on this team with 58 points in the last two games alone. Domask has 19 rebounds, 29 assists, three steals, two blocks, and 79 points in the four games without Shannon. His price is gradually rising, but probably not quickly enough. Domask has at least 38 DraftKings points in three straight games.
Coleman Hawkins, Illinois ($7,200)
Hawkins is one of the more consistent producers around. He has between 28 and 36 DraftKings points in every game for the last month. Hawkins is a stat sheet stuffer, posting at least one of every counting stat (besides turnovers) in every game in that span. He is a cash game lock at this point, though you may be able to find someone with more upside in GPP formats.
Wilhelm Breidenbach, Washington ($5,400)
The Nebraska transfer has finally been given a chance with Franck Kepnang out and Braxton Meah forever in foul trouble. I swear that guy starts the game with two personal fouls, but I digress. Breidenbach has provided 40 points, 21 rebounds, three assists, a steal, and a block in 78 minutes in the three games with Kepnang out. Even if Kepnang returns, Breidenbach should still have a role on this team moving forward.
Mady Sissoko, Michigan State ($4,400)
Sissoko is a value chaser's dream. He has at least 14 DraftKings points in six straight games, piling up rebounds in limited minutes to give him that high floor. Foul trouble against Northwestern limited his production a little, but Sissoko has at least five rebounds in each of the last six games, and topped double figures in rebounds in the games in which he played 20 minutes. You won't find a more consistent play at this price.
Also consider: Olivier Nkamhoua, Michigan ($8,200); Graham Ike, Gonzaga ($7,700); Donta Scott, Maryland ($6,700); Jamiya Neal, Arizona State ($6,300); Christoph Tilly, Santa Clara ($5,300); Giancarlo Rosado, Florida Atlantic ($4,800); Carson Cooper, Michigan State ($4,300)
