CBB DFS: DraftKings Daily Fantasy College Basketball Picks - Today's Top Lineups (11/14/24)

They can't all be winners. I hit most spots last night, but the value plays mostly missed. We only have four games on tap tonight, but that doesn't mean we're light on talent. These are four pretty good ones!

We start in Wichita with Northern Iowa in town to get shocked. Southern Illinois heads to Stillwater to take on the Pokes. Up next is the marquee game with LSU visiting the Octagon of Doom and Kansas State. We close out in Tempe with Grand Canyon heading in to take on the Fun Devils.

This article will provide you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks on DraftKings on 11/14/24, starting at 7:30 p.m. EST. I’ll provide 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

Justin Hill, Wichita State ($7.8K)

The Georgia transfer is off to a great start in Wichita. Hill has 48 points, 13 rebounds, 11 assists, and four steals in 61 minutes so far for the Shockers. Hill is proving to be an elite scorer and should be in for another big game tonight with intriguing peripherals to go with the points.

Arturo Dean, Oklahoma State ($6.2K)

Dean was outstanding for Florida International last year and his trip to the plains has been productive so far. He isn't much of a scorer (12 points in 46 minutes), but Dean has 16 rebounds, eight assists, five steals, and a block. He was one of the NCAA leaders in steals last year and is underrated on the boards. That has followed him to Stillwater.

Bryce Thompson, Oklahoma State ($5.3K)

The Pokes have the best matchup on the slate and I plan on taking advantage. Dean doesn't need to score because Thompson has scored 33 points in 51 minutes this year. Thompson has added seven rebounds, four assists, and three steals as well. Using Thompson and Dean gets you all of the defensive production and most of the backcourt scoring.

Elijah Elliott, Southern Illinois ($3K)

Elliott is minimum priced and he is leading the Salukis in scoring so far this year. Elliott has 37 points in 53 minutes so far this year. He doesn't do a lot aside from score, but at the minimum price, it doesn't matter. We can fit a lot in our lineups with Elliott being free.

Also consider: Tytan Anderson, Northern Iowa ($8K); Tyon Grant-Foster, Grand Canyon ($7.4K); Cam Carter, LSU ($7.1K); Dji Bailey, LSU ($6.4K); Brendan Hausen, Kansas State ($6.1K); Ben Schwieger, Northern Iowa ($4.2K)

Today's DraftKings Forwards - CBB DFS Lineup Picks

Coleman Hawkins, Kansas State ($7.9K)

In his 4 years at Illinois, Coleman Hawkins had

- No losses to Mich, Wisc, Minn, Neb
- More titles than MSU, Iowa, IU, MD, RUT, NW, OSU
- More BTT titles than every team
- 70% WP% in B10 play
- More tourney success than IU, MSU, Wisc, OSU

Clear why the B10 didn’t like him ?? pic.twitter.com/JdygiY1wOA

All of the Coleman Hawkins hate came from people other than Illini fans. He's the player that your favorite team hated to face. After a lukewarm reception from the NBA, Hawkins opted for one more year at the Little Apple. It's a good spot for him. If you take a look at the Big 12 (14) top to bottom, you can argue that the competition in that league might be better than the G-League...and he'll make more money.

Hawkins did everything for the Illini. He's got moves that a 6-foot-11 guy shouldn't have. He returned to college to work on his shot, which hasn't gone great so far. He still has 11 rebounds, 10 assists, five blocks, and four steals to go with his 17 points.

Abou Ousmane, Oklahoma State ($6.7K)

Ousmane transferred out of a crowded Xavier frontcourt to an Oklahoma State frontcourt that needed help on offense. Ousmane responded with 16 points and eight rebounds in his debut for the Pokes. He sat out Sunday's game but is expected to play tonight. He could be in for another big game.

JaKobe Coles, Grand Canyon ($5.8K)

Coles has dominated in the first two games for the Lopes this year. Coles has 42 points, 24 rebounds, four assists, three steals, and two blocks while playing all but eight minutes in the first two games. The return of Grant-Foster, the driving force behind last year's NCAA Tournament team, could cut into his scoring a little.

Ronnie DeGray III, Wichita State ($5.4K)

The Shockers have six players averaging double figures in the early going. Degray has scored 20 points and hauled in 13 rebounds while playing the most minutes in the Wichita frontcourt. He's a solid play for the price on a team that scores a lot of points.

Also consider: David N'Guessan, Kansas State ($7.7K); Jalen Reed, LSU ($6.6K); Marchelus Avery, Oklahoma State ($6.1K); Jacob Hutson, Northern Iowa ($5.7K); Jarrett Hensley, Southern Illinois ($4.4K)
