We had a few holiday tournaments kick up over the weekend, but now we're getting into them in earnest. Our early slate today starts with San Diego State and Creighton in the Power Tournament at the Players Era Festival in Vegas.
Next up we have UConn and Colorado from Maui. After that is Penn State and Clemson from Daytona Beach. We finish this slate with the second game from the Power Tournament in Vegas between Oregon and Texas A&M.
This article will provide you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks on DraftKings on 11/26/24, starting at 2 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
Zhuric Phelps, Texas A&M ($7.4K)
The highest USAGE players among Power 6 teams so far...
1. Zhuric Phelps, A&M
2. Jamir Watkins, FSU
3. Markus Burton, ND
4. Johni Broome, AUB
T5. JT Toppin, TTU
T5. RJ Luis Jr., SJU pic.twitter.com/BIjnsjHqur— CBB Analytics (@CBBAnalytics) November 21, 2024
I expected Phelps to have some kind of impact on the Aggies this year, but not like this. Phelps has been the most consistent player on the team and his DFS totals are as good or better than Wade Taylor IV at a fraction of the price. As long as that continues, I'll use Phelps on every slate. That's the impact he has.
Pop Isaacs, Creighton ($6.9K)
The Texas Tech transfer picked up the slack against Nebraska when Steven Ashworth went down. Isaacs put up 38.25 DraftKings points in 35 minutes. Expect production similar to that as long as Ashworth is sidelined with an ankle sprain.
Julian Hammond III, Colorado ($4.7K)
Hammond turned in his best game of the season against Michigan State yesterday. Hammond scored 15 points in 24 minutes with three rebounds and four assists. There is room for someone to step up in the Colorado backcourt. For one day at least, it was Hammond.
Also consider: Ace Baldwin Jr., Penn State ($9K); Nick Kern Jr., Penn State ($6.7K); Nick Ford, San Diego State ($5.9K); BJ Davis, San Diego State ($5K); Keeshawn Barthelemy, Oregon ($4K)

Today's DraftKings Forwards - CBB DFS Lineup Picks
Tarris Reed Jr., Connecticut ($7.8K)
UConn fans will love this highlight reel of incoming transfer center Tarris Reed, who is 6-10, 265. Not as big as Clingan, but bigger than Sanogo and brings another huge presence in the paint. The Huskies coaches will undoubtedly help him improve, too. pic.twitter.com/y1EXN0Qyw8

Reed was once again the star for UConn in the overtime loss to Memphis. Reed only played 28 minutes, but he racked up 22 points, 11 rebounds, three blocks, and two assists before fouling out. He could have a huge game against this Colorado front.
Jamiya Neal, Creighton ($6.2K)
The Arizona State transfer keeps doing what he does. Neal is an excellent two-way player. He's not an elite scorer, but he's efficient. He's a great passer and crashes the boards like someone six inches taller. Neal has one of the best floors on the slate with a decent amount of upside since Ashworth is out.
Henry Coleman III, Texas A&M ($5.5K)
Coleman has scored in double figures in four of the five games and has at least six rebounds in every game. That's a nice floor in this range before you consider his solid defensive play. Coleman's upside isn't huge, but he's about as reliable as players get in DFS.
Also consider: Ryan Kalkbrenner, Creighton ($10K); Alex Karaban, Connecticut ($8.3K); Nate Bittle, Oregon ($7.9K); Zach Hicks, Penn State ($6.7K); Solomon Washington, Texas A&M ($5K); Magoon Gwath, San Diego State ($4.6K)
