CBB DFS: DraftKings Daily Fantasy College Basketball Picks - Today's Top Lineups (12/25/24)

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas morning and got all sorts of good gifts this morning. So hook up that new TV and tune into the final day of the Diamond Head Classic from Honolulu to finish off your Christmas Day.

First up is the seventh-place game between Loyola-Chicago and Murray State. The fifth-place game features Charleston and Charlotte. The third-place game has the home team facing Oakland. The Diamond Head Championship will be between Oregon State and Nebraska.

This article will provide you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks on DraftKings on 12/25/24, starting at 1:30 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.

— ? Prospects Stats (@ProspectsStats) December 24, 2024

Nik Graves put up a career-high 31 points on Monday. He now has 44 points, 14 rebounds, four assists, six steals, and a block in this tournament. Expect him to finish strong against Charleston. Graves has excelled at getting to the line here in Honolulu. That's a lot of free points!

Kylen Milton, Murray State ($7.2K)

Milton followed up his big game in the loss to Nebraska with a monster against Charlotte. He played 48 of the 50 minutes, scoring 28 points and hauling seven rebounds. Milton has had two big games in Honolulu. Expect him to turn in another one.

Deywilk Tavarez, Charleston ($6.5K)

Tavarez turned in the game of his career against Loyola-Chicago on Monday. He scored 30 points in 32 minutes! Charlotte was just involved in an instant classic in which 184 points were scored. Tavarez could go off again before Charleston leaves Hawaii.

Isaiah Jones, Oakland ($4K)

Jones played a season-high 30 minutes against Oregon State on Monday, also scoring a season-high 10 points. His stock has been trending up lately. He has played 97 minutes over the past four games despite averaging just over 18 minutes per game on the season.

Also consider: Brice Williams, Nebraska ($8.2K); CJ Fulton, Charleston ($7.4K); Sheldon Edwards Jr., Loyola-Chicago ($7K); Derrin Boyd, Charleston ($5.8K); Malcolm Christie, Oakland ($5.6K); Josiah Lake II, Oregon State ($5.2K); Jaylon Jones, Oakland ($4.8K)

Today's DraftKings Forwards - CBB DFS Lineup Picks

Allen Mukeba, Oakland ($8.3K)

Allen Mukeba's 10-10 from the floor is an Oakland school record for most makes without a miss against a D1 opponent. What an effort by him in 44 minutes of work.

— Griffin Beers (@griffin_beers2) December 24, 2024

This has been quite a trip to Hawaii for Mukeba. He has 41 points, 15 rebounds, six assists, three blocks, and three steals in 76 minutes. He'll look to close strong against a Hawaii team that doesn't have the size inside to deal with Mukeba.

Giancarlo Rosado, Charlotte ($6.1K)

His minutes were limited on Sunday for his first game action in nearly a month. The gloves were off on Monday. Rosado played 36 minutes and put up 23 points on Murray State. That's where Rosado was scoring before he got injured against East Tennessee State. Rosado might be the best value on the entire slate.

Andrew Morgan, Nebraska ($5.9K)

Morgan followed up his first double-double of the season on Sunday with a foul-plagued disaster against Hawaii on Monday. This is the chance to get him at a discount. He won't hit a double-double against the Oregon State front, but he hadn't been held under 20 DraftKings points since the Creighton game a month ago before Monday. He's better than the price indicates.

Braxton Meah, Nebraska ($4.1K)

Meah has had a rough transition from the mountains to the plains. He was an elite defender and rebounder with Washington last year. He hasn't done much of anything with Nebraska this year so far. His 22 minutes against Hawaii were his most of the season. The six points and five rebounds were also season-highs. Maybe he's trending upward? For the price, it's worth finding out.

Also consider: Michael Rataj, Oregon State ($9.4K); Miles Rubin, Loyola-Chicago ($6.9K); Buru Naivalurua, Oakland ($6.2K); Berke Buyuktuncel, Nebraska ($5.6K); Robert Braswell IV, Charlotte ($5.5K); Dean Reiber, Charlotte ($4.6K)
