Two Final Four tickets will get punched today with the other two teams decided tomorrow. Defending National Champion Connecticut is still alive as are three ACC teams.
We begin in Boston with Illinois taking on the defending champion after a big win over Iowa State. Alabama knocked off the top-seeded Tar Heels to face Clemson in Los Angeles
This article will provide you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks on DraftKings on 3/30/24, starting at 6:09 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
Terrence Shannon Jr., Illinois ($9.1K)
Shannon has at least 40 DraftKings points in all six postseason games for the Illini, despite only playing 29 minutes against the Cyclones because of foul trouble. Illinois is just a different team with Shannon on the team. Like the rest of his teammates, he's a great defender. Shannon's speed and ability to create make him a matchup nightmare for anyone.

Chase Hunter, Clemson ($6.6K)
Hunter put up another big game against Arizona. In my tournament preview, I said that Clemson's guards would be a problem. They haven't been. They are carrying the team right now, with Hunter leading the charge. Hunter has 59 points, 12 rebounds, 17 assists, five steals, and a block in three tournament games. The Tigers beat Bama at the end of November by slowing them down. Can they do it again?
Rylan Griffen, Alabama ($5.3K)
Griffen played close to 30 minutes against the Heels, so we know the calf is fine after two games of good minutes. Griffen has scored 32 points in the last two games, but he's not offering much else in the way of DFS stats. When he's scoring like this, Griffen is a no-brainer. He put up a solid 17.75 DraftKings points in 28 minutes in the first meeting. That's good enough on a slate that is devoid of good value plays.
Also consider: Mark Sears, Alabama ($8.8K); Aaron Estrada, Alabama ($7.7K); Hassan Diarra, Connecticut ($4.3K)

Today's DraftKings Forwards - CBB DFS Lineup Picks
Marcus Domask, Illinois ($7.9K)
Domask was a dreadful 2-for-11 from the floor against the Cyclones, but that's what they do. They couldn't stop Shannon so they locked up Domask instead. His peripheral numbers were still strong against an Iowa State team that really makes life difficult all over the court. Domask hasn't struggled like that from the floor since the Ohio State game in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament. I'll say he gets back on track tonight.
Ian Schieffelin, Clemson ($6.7K)
Schieffelin has outplayed PJ Hall by a large margin over the last six weeks or so. At this point, it is no longer a fluke. Schieffelin has 90.25 DraftKings points in three NCAA Tournament games so far. He also had a nice game in the first game against the Tide, but Hall went nuts in that game. I feel like if one Clemson forward does so tonight, it will be Schieffelin.
Luke Goode, Illinois ($4K)
As I mentioned above, value plays are tough tonight. Goode usually plays good minutes and he is active on the court, but he is sometimes invisible for fantasy purposes. He provides much-needed floor spacing when he is out there because of his perimeter shooting. However, if the shots aren't falling, Goode won't come close to value, even at this discounted price.
Also consider: Donovan Clingan, Connecticut ($8.1K); Coleman Hawkins, Illinois ($6.5K); Nick Pringle, Alabama ($5.5K); Dain Dainja, Illinois ($5.2K)
