We are at a special time during college basketball season. We are not locked into two busy mid-week days with nothing on Thursday and Friday yet. Calling a slate that starts while it's still light out a "night" slate is a bit of a reach, but we have some stars on here. Don't complain!
We start in Austin with Jerry Rice's alma mater (Mississippi Valley State) in town. Next up is Kansas hosting the Oakland Grizzlies of the Horizon League. Liberty heads to Boca to take on Florida Atlantic. We end the night at the Birdcage in Omaha with the UMKC Roos in town.
This article will provide you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks on DraftKings on 11/16/24, starting at 5 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
Ken Evans Jr., Florida Atlantic ($8.2K)

— Florida Atlantic Men's Basketball (@FAUMBB) November 16, 2024
Evans is a big threat from beyond the arc, but he also has 18 assists, 14 rebounds, 10 steals, and a block through four games. Guys that have peripheral numbers like that can put up DFS points in a hurry.
Pop Isaacs, Creighton ($5.9K)
The Texas Tech transfer had a monster exhibition game against Purdue, but those stats didn't count toward the season totals. Isaacs has only played two official games for Creighton, but he has 20 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists. We can work with that for this price.
Niccolo Moretti, Florida Atlantic ($5.2K)
Moretti has 23 assists, 10 rebounds, and six assists to go with his 52 points on the season. If you find yourself in a price crunch, Moretti is probably the best per-dollar player on the FAU roster, but Evans' sharpshooting gives him a higher ceiling.
Also consider: Zeke Mayo, Kansas ($7.9K); Jamar Brown, UMKC ($7.4K); Donovan Sanders, Mississippi Valley State ($6.4K); Chendall Weaver, Texas ($6K); Jayvon Maughmer, Liberty ($4K)

Today's DraftKings Forwards - CBB DFS Lineup Picks
Ryan Kalkbrenner, Creighton ($10.8K)
7’1” Creighton center Ryan Kalkbrenner had one of the greatest games in NCAA history in their WIN over UT Rio Grande Valley! ?
? 49 PTS, 11 REB, 3 BLK, 2 AST, 20/22 FGM, 2/2 3PM, 36 MIN, WIN
7-foot athletic centers may be running the NBA VERY soon! ? pic.twitter.com/pEFpRRYOWI

Kalkbrenner is one of the best shooters in college basketball history, and it's not all from around the rim. He hasn't shot below 90% from the floor in three games and is shooting 92.1% on the season, including all three three-point attempts. Oh, and he's averaging 7.3 rebounds and three blocks per game as well.
Kadin Shedrick, Texas ($6.2K)
The Delta Devils aren't going to be able to handle the size of Texas up front. We could see a big game out of both Shedrick and Creighton transfer Arthur Kaluma. I opt for Shedrick since his numbers aren't that far off of Kaluma's for a fraction of the price.
Flory Bidunga, Kansas ($4.7K)
Bidunga has put up 27 points, 17 rebounds, four blocks, and two steals in just 40 minutes of court time so far. Bidunga should see more minutes tonight as the Jayhawks should handle an Oakland team that is a shadow of last year's NCAA Tournament team easily.
Also consider: Hunter Dickinson, Kansas ($11K); Arthur Kaluma, Texas ($8.5K); Baba Miller, Florida Atlantic ($7K); Tuburu Naivalurua, Oakland ($4.9K)
