We have another busy Tuesday night with 15 games on tap. The main slate features nine games again this week. We will be focusing on those nine here, but I'll be back with advice for the six-game night slate as well which features more really good matchups. We won't leave you hanging! The main slate starts a bit early in Knoxville with the Gamecocks in town.
The usual window has Marquette in Philly to face Villanova. Illinois heads to Columbus to take on the Buckeyes. Iowa is in Bloomington to take on the Hoosiers. Texas Tech heads to Fort Worth to take on the Toadies. Syracuse heads over to Boston to face Boston College. North Carolina heads to Atlanta to take on the Bees. Oklahoma is at the Octagon of Doom to take on K-State. We close this out with the Egg Bowl hardcourt-style in Oxford.
In this article, I will provide you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 1/30/24, starting at 6:30 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
Dalton Knecht, Tennessee ($8,800)
How do I sit here and tell anyone not to play the guy with at least 25 points in five straight games? I know it's a tougher matchup, but that hasn't mattered at all to Knecht. He still keeps making shots. A bunch of shots. His floor over those five games is 35 DraftKings points and he has topped 50 three times. I don't know how you say no to Knecht, especially in cash games. We've seen the coveted GPP upside too. He is doing everything lately.
Jaylen Murray, Mississippi ($7,000)
On a team full of good guards, Murray might be the most consistent of the three stars. Aside from a clunker in the blowout loss to Auburn, Murray has at least 25 DraftKings points in six straight games. Even including the clunker against Auburn, Murray has made at least two triples in every game since December 16. He excels as a two-way player, which helps keep the floor high.
Rivaldo Soares, Oklahoma ($6,100)
This is what I've been waiting for with Soares. I have seen some good bursts from him recently, but he exploded against Texas Tech with 19 points and 10 rebounds. Double-doubles won't be the norm for Soares, but teams have learned how to defend Otega Oweh and Javian McCollum. The Sooners needed Soares to step up and he did. Soares has 46 points and 23 rebounds over the last four games. I'm buying in!
Jacobi Wright, South Carolina ($4,500)
Wright started against Missouri on Saturday, but his minutes didn't change. Neither did the production. Wright has 25 points over the last two games with six rebounds, four assists, and two steals in 53 minutes. Wright only averages about seven points per game on the season, but I like his floor and he has a decent ceiling if he's going to keep scoring like this. We can do worse from a value play.
Also consider: RJ Davis, North Carolina ($8,100); Tony Perkins, Iowa ($7,900); Marcus Domask, Illinois ($7,700); Bruce Thornton, Ohio State ($7,200); Otega Oweh, Oklahoma ($6,600); Jameer Nelson Jr., TCU ($6,500); Trevian Tennyson, TCU ($6,000); Elliot Cadeau, North Carolina ($5,400); Kyle Sturdivant, Georgia Tech ($5,000); Dai Dai Ames, Kansas State ($3,400)

Today's DraftKings Forwards - CBB DFS Lineup Picks
Oso Ighodaro, Marquette ($8,400)
Ighodaro has been a terror in Big East play so far this year. In nine Big East games, Ighodaro is averaging 15.6 points, 8.2 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.3 blocks, and a steal per game. Those point and rebound totals are both more than one above the season averages. Ighodaro put up 40.25 DraftKings points on this Villanova team in Milwaukee 15 days ago. Don't be surprised if he does it again.
Jonas Aidoo, Tennessee ($7,600)
The big man got off to a bit of a slow start this year, but he has dominated in SEC play. Aidoo is averaging 15 points, nine rebounds, 1.5 assists, 2.3 blocks, and a steal per game in SEC play. All of those numbers are far above his season averages, and that's counting a game against Ole Miss in which Aidoo fouled out in just 20 minutes. He promises to be a force against South Carolina tonight as well.
Collin Murray-Boyles, South Carolina ($5,800)
Murray-Boyles is going to have his hands full against this Tennessee front. While he hasn't scored in double figures in six of the last seven games, he still has at least 20 DraftKings points in four of them. Scoring isn't his main contribution. Murray-Boyles is strong on the class, excellent on defense, a good protector at the rim, and an underrated passer. I always like those high floors for value plays.
Anthony Walker, Indiana ($4,000)
There's no word on the injury to Kel'el Ware, so if Ware comes back tonight, be prepared to move off of this pick. Payton Sparks started the first few games with Ware out, but Walker got the nod on Saturday and looked really good against Illinois. He put up 17 DraftKings points on a good Illinois front. If Walker starts again, he's a bargain at this price.
Also consider: Coleman Hawkins, Illinois ($8,500); Harrison Ingram, North Carolina ($7,900); Emanuel Miller, TCU ($7,500); Baye Ndongo, Georgia Tech ($7,300); Mackenzie Mgbako, Indiana ($6,300); Chris Bell, Syracuse ($5,300); Moussa Cisse, Mississippi ($5,000)
