It's a light Friday before the Saturday chaos. We don't even have any Power Six conference games on the slate! We do have one Mountain West tilt to take us home, but we're getting some exposure to the Ivy League and the A-10 just in time for conference tournaments. This is information that could prove useful in a couple of weeks. No need to take a night off. We've got you covered!
We begin in Ohio with Bowling Green hosting Toledo in an important MAC tilt. Cornell hosts Yale. Next up is Duquesne heading to Fordham to take on the Rams. We end on the West Coast with San Jose and their colorful Silicon Valley court hosting Nevada.
This article will provide you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 2/23/24, 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
Marcus Hill, Bowling Green ($8.2K)
Hill has at least 28 DraftKings points in 12 straight games. That's the kind of floor I'm looking for. He put up 33.5 in the first meeting against the Rockets in Toledo, and one could argue that Hill is playing better now than he was then. Hill has at least six rebounds in every game since that first Toledo game and has scored at least 15 points. There's no reason to think he won't hit 30 again tonight. His ceiling is somewhere in the high 40s, so I don't mind him for GPP usage either.
Tyler Cochran, Toledo ($7.7K)
Cochran has been about on the same level as Hill. He has at least 25 DraftKings points in every game since January 13, but he dumped in 46 DraftKings points on Bowling Green the first time around. Not only that, but he has been over 40 more frequently than Hill. If you can't afford both, Cochran is the guy you want in GPP formats. Hill is a little safer for cash games, but the upside on Cochran is higher.
John Poulakidas, Yale ($6.2K)
Poulakidas isn't anything flashy. He's mostly a scorer, but he's a very consistent one. Kansas and Princeton are the only teams to hold him in single digits since December 9. Those are elite defenses. Poulakidas had a strong showing against the Big Red in the first meeting on February 10. He picked up 20.5 DraftKings points. I can be happy with that output for this price.
Jake DiMichele, Duquesne ($4.4K)
I love playing starters at this price anyway because the single most important thing for value plays is minutes. More minutes means more chances for a counting stat. DiMichele has only been under 25 minutes once since January 12. He had a solid 22.25 DraftKings points in the first meeting with Fordham, but the thing that really has me intrigued is the 18 rebounds in the last two games. If he gets anywhere close to nine again in this game, he'll outscore everyone priced below $7K.
How about these two dudes last night tho.

Today's DraftKings Forwards - CBB DFS Lineup Picks
Danny Wolf, Yale ($8.7K)
Wolf is the guy who gave Hunter Dickinson fits when the Bulldogs nearly pulled off the upset at the Phog in December. I could see his ownership well below normal after a dreadful oh-fer from the field on eight attempts against Princeton last weekend. That's the exception, not the rule. Wolf had four consecutive double-doubles, including one against Cornell, leading up to that game. Expect him to get back on track in a big way tonight.
AK Okereke, Cornell ($4.8K)
Okereke is essentially Sean Hansen with more polished offensive skills and fewer rebounding skills. When it comes to DFS output, Okereke has fared better lately because of his efficient scoring. Both are going to play about half the game and get you close to the same production. If you need to punt two forward slots, you can do a lot worse than Cornell's front. If only playing one, Okereke is cheaper and has provided better stats over the last few weeks.
Nick Townsend, Yale ($4.4K)
Townsend has started the last two games with Matt Knowling out. We probably won't get 20 DraftKings points out of him, but we will get more than 30 minutes. In the first game against Cornell, he piled up 16.75 DraftKings points in 15 minutes. There is serious potential for the price tonight.
Also consider: Rashaun Agee, Bowling Green ($8.1K); Nick Davidson, Nevada ($7.7K); Javan Simmons, Toledo ($7.4K); Elijah Gray, Fordham ($5.5K); Tibet Gorener, San Jose State ($5.4K); K.J. Hymes, Nevada ($4,3K)
