As is usual, we have a lighter night on Monday before the monster Tuesday slates. However, we are graced with another game on tonight's slate aside from the two ESPN Big Monday games. The more the merrier! The only negative is that we can't watch the entire slate unfold live on TV, but we'll survive. I promise.
We start at a crazy place called Cameron Indoor with Wake heading to Durham. Next up is West Virginia taking on TCU on the reptilian court. Hey, I think it's cool the way teams are doing these graphics courts. Why Boise doesn't have a solid blue court is beyond me. They'll do it to a freaking football field, but not a floor? We end the night in Lubbock with Kansas in town.
This article will provide you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 2/12/24, starting at 7 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
Kevin McCullar Jr., Kansas ($8,400)
I know that McCullar missed the Baylor game with a nagging knee injury, but I think it has more to do with the quick turnaround than anything else. The knee has been bugging him for some time, yet McCullar only missed one game before Saturday. Unless McCullar is on crutches, expect him to play in his return to Lubbock. McCullar hasn't been under 30 DraftKings points since the TCU game on January 6. We know what we're getting from him if he plays.
UPDATE: McCullar will not play tonight against Texas Tech. Harris is now my top Kansas guar target with Nicolas Timberlake getting a significant boost. He started for McCullar on Saturday and presumably will tonight. Pop Isaacs gets a boost for Texas Tech as well with Kansas missing McCullar's defense.
Dajuan Harris Jr., Kansas ($6,500)
Harris has 10 games of eight or more assists and can still score when needed. With Johnny Furphy struggling with his shot last Monday and McCullar out on Saturday, Harris combined for 29 points in those two games to go with 13 assists, three rebounds, four steals, and a block. Harris does a little of everything for Kansas, making him a nice DFS play in this range. He is a must-play if McCullar can't play tonight.
Chance McMillian, Texas Tech ($5,500)
McMillian plays a lot of minutes for Tech and is usually an efficient scorer. Despite his season average sitting just a touch above 10 points per game, McMillan has scored in double figures in four of the last six games, averaging 15 points per contest. Tech has been looking for more help on offense and it appears McMillan is filling that void and still providing strong peripheral numbers.
Also consider: Hunter Sallis, Wake Forest ($8,200); Jared McCain, Duke ($7,400); Johnny Furphy, Kansas ($7,300); Cameron Hildreth, Wake Forest ($6,400); Jeremy Roach, Duke ($6,100); Trevian Tennyson, TCU ($5,900); Caleb Foster, Duke ($5,000); Nicolas Timberlake, Kansas ($4,000)

Today's DraftKings Forwards - CBB DFS Lineup Picks
Hunter Dickinson, Kansas ($9,100)

— Kansas Jayhawk Fans (@FansOfKU) February 11, 2024
Dickinson has only failed to reach 30 DraftKings points thrice this season. He's one of the more consistent players on the board tonight and his ceiling is 60. He's not going to hit that in Lubbock, but 50 is a real possibility. He's the only guy on the slate with that ceiling. Dickinson is a must in cash games with ample GPP upside.
Jesse Edwards, West Virginia ($7,500)
The Syracuse transfer missed nearly two months with a broken wrist. He's still not up to the 32+ minutes per game that he was logging before the injury, but Edwards has scored 58 points with 26 rebounds, three assists, a steal, and seven blocks over the last three games. If he finally gets back over 30 minutes, he could break a slate. Edwards already has a 25/10 game since his return despite not hitting 30 minutes.
JaKobe Coles, TCU ($5,000)
TCU plays a liberal rotation of forwards because not one of them has stepped up to take on a larger role. Coles is coming close to that. He has only missed five of the 19 shots he has taken over the last three games, going into double figures in all three games. Coles had two separate streaks like this in non-conference play. The fact that he has returned to his efficiency on offense bodes well for DFS success.
Also consider: Emanuel Miller, TCU ($7,700); Andrew Carr, Wake Forest ($7,400); Warren Washington, Texas Tech ($7,100); KJ Adams Jr., Kansas ($7,000); Sean Stewart, Duke ($3,500)
