With all of these tournaments going on, the turnaround time is very quick for DFS articles. The slate wasn't even up a couple of hours ago, so we do what we can. We have a nice nine-game slate tonight. We get Syracuse-Texas Tech and Texas-St. Joseph's from the Legends Classic in Brooklyn. We get St. John's-Virginia and Baylor-Tennessee from the Bahamas. We have Utah State and Iowa from the Hall of Fame Classic in Kansas City. George Washington will face Kansas State in St. Thomas.
The rest of the offerings are campus games, and we have some good ones! We have Nebraska and Creighton from the Birdcage in Omaha. These people are Nebraska football fans for most of the fall, but when it comes to basketball and baseball, they love to hate each other! Mississippi State visits SMU at Moody Coliseum in Dallas. The last one is the big one. Duke heads out to Tucson to face Arizona in a campus game. This is what college basketball should be!
This article will provide you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks on DraftKings on 11/22/24, 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
Cooper Flagg, Duke ($9.7K)

It's still early, but Flagg has been everything that everyone promised so far. On top of that, his best game came against the best opponent, when Flagg racked up 47.25 DraftKings points against Kentucky. There's no reason to think he won't be worth the price again.
Josh Hubbard, Mississippi State ($8.3K)
Hubbard is an efficient scorer and capable passer. He leaves something to be desired on the boards, but he more than makes up for it everywhere else. Hubbard has at least 32 DraftKings points in all four games this season. Consistent production is a gift in cash games.
Xzayvier Brown, St. Joseph's ($7.3K)
Brown plays a ton of minutes and puts up production across the board. He is averaging 17.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 6.2 assists, and 2 steals per game so far. It helps that St. Joe's has been involved in several close games, but Brown still put up 35.75 DK points in the unlikely win over Texas Tech yesterday. He can produce against anyone.
Chuck Harris, SMU ($6.2K)
There are lots of good mid-range options tonight, so I'm trying to select my favorites from each price tier. Harris has produced far beyond his price so far. His only dud was against UNC-Greensboro when he played just 16 minutes and couldn't hit the ocean from a fishing boat. The rest of the time, Harris has scored at least 15 points and picked up at least eight combined rebounds/steals/assists.
Chendall Weaver, Texas ($5K)
Weaver is exactly what he was last year: a high-motor bench player who is a great defender and strong on the boards. He has at least five rebounds in every game so far this season and has recorded one of every stat in all but one game. Weaver isn't much of a scorer, but he's a guy that you love to watch. He's everywhere on the court.
Also consider: Zakai Zeigler, Tennessee ($8.6K); Ian Martinez, Utah State ($8.2K); VJ Edgecombe, Baylor ($7.8K); Mason Falslev, Utah State ($6.9K); JJ Starling, Syracuse ($6.5K); Jeremy Roach, Baylor ($6.4K); Pop Isaacs, Creighton ($5.9K); Jayden Nunn, Baylor ($5.6K); Robert Wright III, Baylor ($4.9K); Jahmai Mashack, Tennessee ($4.8K); Jacoi Hutchinson, George Washington ($4.2K)

Today's DraftKings Forwards - CBB DFS Lineup Picks
JT Toppin, Texas Tech ($9K)
JT Toppin tonight #nbadraft2025
33 mins
22 pts
18 rebs
2 assts
2 stls
2 blks
8/13 FG

People are talking about Norchad Omier's big night last night, but Toppin actually had a bigger night and his game didn't go to overtime. Omier played 41 minutes last night. Toppin played 33. Toppin's ceiling is just as high at $500 less in a better matchup. He's the clear choice at the top of the forwards tonight.
Owen Freeman, Iowa ($7.1K)
Freeman was the Big Ten (18) Freshman of the Year last year and he has been even better in the early going this season. Freeman has averaged 17.5 points and 8.3 rebounds per game in the early going (not to mention the two blocks per game). He's too cheap for the ceiling. Great Osobor isn't in Logan anymore. Freeman can dominate the Aggies up front.
Jamiya Neal, Creighton ($6.6K)
The Blue Jays usually rely on their own recruited talent like Kalkbrenner and Steven Ashworth. This year they have added veterans from the transfer portal (Neal from Arizona State and Isaacs from Texas Tech) to bolster the squad. The result is a team that could cut down some nets in March and possibly April.
Neal was a high-motor role player in Tempe last year and has been arguably better this year. He's not much of a scorer, but he is averaging just under 10 points per game to go with 6.3 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 0.8 steals. That's great production in this range.
Zuby Ejiofor, St. John's ($5.4K)
Ejiofor was huge for the Johnnies last night. He had a 22 point-10 rebound double-double with five blocks, two assists, and a steal. You don't get games like that from a guy in this price range...except he came close to that against New Mexico before this tournament. Expect another strong game out of Ejiofor tonight.
Motiejus Krivas, Arizona ($4.5K)
Krivas fills the Kerr Kriisa role for Arizona this year. He's an efficient scorer off the bench but is a better rebounder in less minutes than Kriisa. Krivas has 18 rebounds in just 48 minutes of court time in three games. He's a risk because the minutes are low, but Krivas does a lot while he's in there.
Also consider: Ryan K ($10K); Arthur Kaluma, Texas ($8.9K); Darrion Williams, Texas Tech ($8.4K); Darren Buchanan Jr., George Washington ($7.9K); Eddie Lampkin Jr., Syracuse ($7K); Igor Milicic Jr., Tennessee ($6.8K); Tobe Awaka, Arizona ($6.2K); Aaron Scott, St. John's ($5.5K); Karson Templin, Utah State ($4.9K); Blake Buchanan, Virginia ($4.4K)
