We are at a special time during college basketball season. We are not locked into two busy mid-weekdays with nothing on Thursday and Friday yet. We have some tournament hoops going on today along with a few at campus locations. There's a lot of star power on this slate!
We have both games from Brooklyn on this slate with Texas taking on Syracuse and Texas Tech taking on St. Joseph's. We also have both games from the Bahamas with Baylor facing St. John's and Tennessee facing Virginia. We have the nightcap in Charleston with Vanderbilt facing Nevada. Memphis heads out to the Bay Area to take on the Dons. We end this with the Civil War on hardcourt in Corvallis.
This article will provide you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks on DraftKings on 11/21/24, 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
PJ Haggerty, Memphis ($8.9K)
PJ Haggerty on Friday #NBADraft2025

Haggerty was very good at Tulsa last year, but he has been even better at Memphis in the early going. He is averaging 25.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.3 steals in three games. There is a lot of talent on this team, but Haggerty has been the leader of the pack so far.
VJ Edgecombe, Baylor ($7.8K)

Edgecombe is another heralded freshman who has been as-advertised so far this year. He's a strong rebounder, an absolute beast defensively, and a capable scorer. Edgecombe might be the best freshman on the defensive end. His offensive game isn't nearly as polished as Ace Bailey or Cooper Flagg, but defensively, he may be better.
Nate Kingz, Oregon State ($6.6K)
Oregon hasn't looked that good early on, but Oregon State is cooking with Kingz finally able to make his collegiate debut. He has scored in double figures in all four games and put up strong peripheral numbers against Fullerton in the only non-blowout for the Beavers. This should stay close, giving Kingz a chance to put up strong peripherals to go with his scoring.
A.J. Hoggard, Vanderbilt ($5.5K)
Hoggard brings his tough brand of defense from Michigan State, but he has scored more with Vandy than he was asked to in East Lansing. Hoggard has always been an efficient scorer and that has carried over even with the increased shot attempts. Expect another strong game out of the veteran against Nevada.
Also consider: Zakai Zeigler, Tennessee ($9.4K); Marcus Williams, San Francisco ($8K); Tyrese Hunter, Memphis ($7.6K); J.J. Starling, Syracuse ($7.1K); Isaac McKneely, Virginia ($6.2K); Malik Thomas, San Francisco ($5.4K); Kevin Overton, Texas Tech ($4.9K); Jadrian Tracy, Oregon ($4.4K)

Today's DraftKings Forwards - CBB DFS Lineup Picks
JT Toppin, Texas Tech ($8.8K)
Happy game day JT Toppin is really good at basketball pic.twitter.com/db1xJxHT8q
— Talkin’ Tech Podcast ?(hoops is back) (@TalkinTechPod) November 18, 2024
Toppin has been a monster for Texas Tech so far and he still hasn't played more than 27 minutes in a game. He should tonight. Topping has back-to-back double-doubles in just 48 minutes of court time. St Joseph's can't handle the size or athleticism of Toppin. He could have a huge game tonight.
RJ Luis, St. John's ($7.3K)
Luis has two double doubles in the last three games. He piled on seven assists to that monster double-double in the win over New Mexico last week. Luis is a tough matchup for anyone due to his versatility. His days of coming off the bench are over. Luis is too important to the Johnnies this year.
Michael Rataj, Oregon State ($6.7K)
Rataj is the main man for the Beavers up front this year. He has two double doubles in the last three games and hasn't been under seven rebounds in a game yet. He has also piled up four blocks and 10 steals in just four games. Oregon will be a tougher opponent, but Rataj is carrying the Beavers right now.
Nate Bittle, Oregon ($5.6K)
Bittle lost a lot of time (and a lot of weight) last year, but he is back and healthy this season. He has at least 12 points and at least eight rebounds in every game. How is he still this cheap? I'm not looking the gift horse in the mouth. Play Bittle and don't ask questions!
Also consider: Norchad Omier, Baylor ($9.6K); Nick Davidson, Nevada ($7.9K); Eddie Lampkin Jr., Syracuse ($7.1K); Dain Dainja, Memphis ($5.7K); Jacob Cofie, Virginia ($5.1K); Zuby Ejiofor, St. John's ($4.7K)
