CBB DFS: DraftKings Daily Fantasy College Basketball Picks - Today's Top Lineups (11/30/24)

What a November it was for college basketball! Where did this month go? Most of the holiday tournaments are done, so we have a few campus games on our slate today. It's all-day basketball today, starting with Championship Day at the Players Era Festival.

We have all four of those games and they bookend our day. Notre Dame and Creighton start us off. Rutgers and Texas A&M are next. We get Houston and San Diego State in the evening and close it out with Alabama-Oregon. We have Temple and La Salle playing their Big 5 matchup at Glaser Arena. Furman visits the Phog for the other campus game.

This article will provide you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks on DraftKings on 11/30/24, starting at 1 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

Dylan Harper, Rutgers ($9.5K)

True freshman Dylan Harper in his last two games?

With all due respect to Cooper Flagg and the rest of the freshmen making an immediate impact this season, Harper is the best of the bunch so far. What he has been able to do with Rutgers hasn't been paralleled by anyone yet. Harper has 97.5 DraftKings points in the two games of this tournament and put up 41.75 in the game before the tournament started.

Mark Sears, Alabama ($7.9K)

Sears had arguably his worst collegiate game against Illinois before the start of the Players Era. He has responded with 73.5 DraftKings points against Houston and Rutgers in this tournament. Houston was one of the best defensive teams in college last year and Rutgers is no slouch either. Sears seems to be back on track.

Matt Allocco, Notre Dame ($6.1K) 

Markus Burton will miss the end of this tournament as expected, so it will be another game of good run for Allocco. Houston did a good job on Allocco on Thursday, but he still put up a solid 20.75 DraftKings points. It will be similarly tough against Creighton, but the minutes alone should make him worth the cost.

Keeshawn Barthelemy, Oregon ($5K)

Barthelemy likely won't start anytime soon because he is too valuable off the bench. He did plenty of damage against San Diego State in 25 minutes on Wednesday. He should have another strong game against the Tide tonight.

Also consider: Zhuric Phelps, Texas A&M ($8K); Jamal Mashburn Jr., Temple ($7.7K); Pop Isaacs, Creighton ($7.5K); TJ Bamba, Oregon ($6.9K); BJ Davis, San Diego State ($6.3K); Emanuel Sharp, Houston ($5.9K); Zion Stanford, Temple ($5.6K); Jameel Brown, Temple ($4K)

Today's DraftKings Forwards - CBB DFS Lineup Picks

Ryan Kalkbrenner, Creighton ($8.8K)

Lot of questions about Ryan Kalkbrenner not getting enough touches

This is one of McDermott's favorite set-plays to get Kalkbrenner a post-up

This is a Creighton problem as well as an individual Kalkbrenner problem. When the other team(s) have watched enough tape to know your go-to play, you need to change it up. The Blue Jays haven't done that yet. A couple of days off should help Creighton figure out ways to get Kalkbrenner the ball. If they can't their season could be over.

I tend to think that Kalkbrenner becomes more assertive tonight. He hasn't wanted to disrupt the flow of the game, but what Kalkbrenner hasn't realized yet is that this team needs him to score to reach its full potential. There's a happy medium and Kalkbrenner should find it tonight.

Ace Bailey, Rutgers ($7.4K)

Bailey was back to his old tricks against Alabama, but we are seeing a troubling trend with Bailey. He's streaky, and if his shots aren't falling, he doesn't do nearly enough to hit value. This should be a higher-scoring game against A&M, so I don't mind Bailey here.

Jamiya Neal, Creighton ($6.5K) 

Neal is just as he was last year at Arizona State. He does a little bit of everything. Any scoring is a bonus, but he averages 5.9 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 0.8 steals, and 0.5 blocks with his 8.7 points. That said, all of his blocks have come in the last four games. He's trending upward.

Mouhamed Dioubate, Alabama ($5.9K)

Dioubate didn't start for Alabama until this tournament. He has been a revelation for the Tide. He has 20 points, 25 rebounds, five blocks, three steals, and two assists in 53 minutes of court time. That's a great return in this price range.

Also consider: Hunter Dickinson, Kansas ($9.2K); Grant Nelson, Alabama ($8.3K); Henry Coleman III, Texas A&M ($6.5K); Brandon Angel, Oregon ($5.6K); Cooper Bowser, Furman ($5.3K); Magoon Gwath, San Diego State ($4.9K)
