Today's NCAA Tournament DraftKings CBB DFS lineup picks for 3/22/24. Mike's top daily fantasy college basketball sleepers to build winning NCAA DFS lineups on DraftKings.
It was a glorious 12-hour tilt-fest yesterday and I can't wait to do it again! All 16 games are featured on the main slate once again. This is what it's all about! The early wave features Northwestern taking on Florida Atlantic and Colgate facing Baylor. UAB faces San Diego State and Western Kentucky gets Marquette to finish off the first set of games.
Stetson and UConn kick off the next foursome with New Mexico and Clemson right behind. Yale faces Auburn and Colorado takes on Florida. The evening starts in Memphis with Nebraska facing A&M. Vermont takes on Duke. Purdue tries to avoid another early exit against Grambling. Charleston faces Alabama. The night set starts with Houston facing Longmont. James Madison is next against Wisconsin. TCU takes on Utah State. We end the night with Grand Canyon and St. Mary's.
This article will provide you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks on DraftKings on 3/22/24, starting at 12:15 p.m. EDT. 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
Tyon Grant-Foster, Grand Canyon ($8.5K)
This is a tough matchup for Grant-Foster on paper, but so was San Diego State and he put up 39.25 DraftKings points on them. Grant-Foster hasn't been under 39 DraftKings points since February 24 and has cleared 30 in all but one game since February 1. If the Antelopes are going to pull this upset -- and many think they will -- Grant-Foster will be the one that makes it possible.
What a story and season for former DePaul Tyon Grant-Foster. From a sudden cardiac arrest and two heart surgeries and not knowing if he'd ever play basketball again. To be named WAC Player of the Year and helping take Grand Canyon to their only second NCAA Tournament appearance.

Jaelen House, New Mexico ($7.6K)
There may come a time when Eddie House is merely known as Jaelen's father instead of a guy who had an 11-year NBA career and won a championship in 2008. House got hot at the right time, putting up 151.25 DraftKings points in the four games of the Mountain West tournament. That little slump at the end of February feels like a distant memory right now.

Manny Obaseki, Texas A&M ($6K)
Obaseki entered the starting lineup at the beginning of March. He has averaged 15.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.2 blocks, and 1.5 steals in those six games. Nebraska's splits on neutral sites are somewhere in between its great home and bad road splits. Obaseki is a risk with all of the mouths to feed in the A&M offense, but he's an acceptable risk at this price.
Denzel Aberdeen, Florida ($3.5K)
Aberdeen provided the bench spark that fueled the win against the Aggies in the SEC semifinals and put up another solid line in the blowout loss to Auburn in the championship. The Gators have to replace a starter in Micah Handlogten, and it could be a committee approach until they find something that fits. Aberdeen's performance in the final two games of the SEC Tournament should leave him with a decent role at worst.
Also consider: Tristen Newton, Connecticut ($9.1K); Great Osobor, Utah State ($8.8K); Eric Gaines, UAB ($8.2K); Wade Taylor IV, Texas A&M ($7.8K); Tyrece Radford, Texas A&M ($7.5K); Tyrese Proctor, Duke ($6.8K); John Poulakidas, Yale ($6.5K); Kobe Rodgers, Charleston ($6.2K); Fletcher Loyer, Purdue ($5.8K); Alejandro Vasquez, UAB ($5.5K); Xavier Brown, James Madison ($5.3K); Hassan Diarra, Connecticut ($4.9K); Khristian Lander, Western Kentucky ($4.8K); Eli Rice, Nebraska ($3.5K)

Today's DraftKings Forwards - CBB DFS Lineup Picks
Jaedon LeDee, San Diego State ($8.9K)
This matchup with Yaxel Lendeborg will be one of the day's highlights. LeDee blasted through the Mountain West Tournament with 135 DraftKings points in three days. He came up big in SDSU's run to the Final Four last year. That's when we knew LeDee could become a start. That has come to fruition this year and I think he pays homage to the place where it all started with a strong tournament run.
Solomon Washington, Texas A&M ($6.6K)
Washington is my favorite piece of the Aggies today because he's the only one that doesn't rely too much on scoring. That's not to say that he can't score. Washington just does a lot of other things as well. He has at least seven rebounds in six straight games and at least two steals in four straight (not to mention seven blocks) in addition to his double-digit scoring in five straight. I don't know how he's still this cheap. Washington has at least 28 DraftKings points in five straight games.
Lok Wur, Grand Canyon ($5.7K)
Wur has been a solid contributor for the Antelopes this season and could be against St. Mary's as well. They don't have a strong post presence, so Wur could be the key to this game for GCU. Tyon Grant-Foster still needs a monster game, but Wur picking the Gaels apart from the inside will be needed as well.
Thomas Haugh, Florida ($4.9K)
The loss of Handlogten opens up a much larger role for Haugh. He put up 20 DraftKings points in 25 minutes against Auburn to close the SEC Tournament. Haugh seems to be a little more predictable than Alex Condon and he's cheaper. If you are chasing the higher ceiling, though, Condon is starting and will get more opportunities than Haugh.
Also consider: Zach Edey, Purdue ($10.9K); Yaxel Lendeborg, UAB ($8.9K); Danny Wolf, Yale ($8.3K); PJ Hall, Clemson ($7.8K); Terrence Edwards Jr., James Madison ($7.1K); Nick Pringle, Alabama ($6.5K); Aubin Gateretse, Stetson ($6.3K); David Joplin, Marquette ($6.2K); Jay Pal, San Diego State ($5.6K); Josiah Allick, Nebraska ($5.3K); Babacar Faye, Western Kentucky ($4.4K)
