I wasn't even going to write up this late slate as a form of protest against DraftKings' recent asinine splits on Wednesday slates. Starting the slate at 9 p.m. as they do on Tuesdays would have made this a five-gamer. But then I realized there are four solid teams in action that we don't usually get exposure to. That's where we need an edge. Luckily for you, I've watched all of these teams a few times this year. That can only help.
We start this one off in Laramie with Utah State making the trip east on I-80. We end this out in Fresno with UNLV leaving the friendly confines of Vegas for the Save Mart Center. It's late night in the Mountain West! We should get used to it for football season.
This article will provide you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 2/14/24, starting at 10 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
Darius Brown II, Utah State ($7.5K)
Brown has at least 30 DraftKings points in four of the last five games. He put up 37 in the first meeting with Wyoming. The Cowboys still don't have anyone that can handle Taylor. He's a bulldog on defense, great on the boards for a guard, and dishes out plenty of assists. Think of a Draymond Green type of player that is an efficient scorer to boot.
Dedan Thomas Jr., UNLV ($6.9K)
The freshman is finally starting to contribute regularly for the Rebels. He has had an up-and-down season at times, but he has scored at least 30 DraftKings points in three of the last four games. Thomas has 67 points over the last four games with 21 assists, eight rebounds, and five steals. He's doing a great job running the offense. UNLV struggled to close out games in January, but they are starting to seal the deal now. As if the Mountain West needed another powerful team down the stretch...
Isaiah Pope, Fresno State ($4.3K)
Pope has had some foul trouble in each of the last two games, which has hampered his production. It has also served to drive his price down. Pope put up 22.25 DraftKings points in the first meeting against UNLV. If he can keep his hands to himself, that is attainable again tonight.
Also consider: Isaiah Hill, Fresno State ($7.9K); Akuel Kot, Wyoming ($7K); Mason Falslev, Utah State ($6.8K); Xavier DuSell, Fresno State ($6.5K); Justin Webster, UNLV ($5K)

Today's DraftKings Forwards - CBB DFS Lineup Picks
Great Osobor, Utah State ($9.4K)
* Great Osobor (@GreatOsobor):
10 points, 10 rebounds
11th double-double of the season, 14th of career
Double-figures for the 12th straight game, 22nd this year, 45th in career
12th time this year, 16th in his career with double-digit rebounds.— Ajay Salvesen (@ajaysalvy) February 11, 2024
Osobor hasn't been under 30 DraftKings points since December 16. Locks don't get any easier than this. We'll get different elsewhere. Osobor needs to be in every lineup regardless of format or tournament size.
Cam Manyawu, Wyoming ($6.1K)
Manyawu has come very close to a double-double in each of his last two outings. He's getting a little more aggressive on offense and he's an efficient scorer. If he can keep the points up, he'll grab a double-double soon. He has at least seven rebounds in four straight games. That double-double likely isn't happening against the Utah State front, but he could still have a good game for the price if he keeps finding his shot.
Mason Walters, Wyoming ($4.5K)
Walters has at least 16 DraftKings points in every game as a Cowboy. One of those was a 21.75 DraftKings point outing against Utah State. I don't understand why his price is this low. Walters hasn't been under 20 DraftKings points since January 13. That's great production at this price. Getting different would be playing both Manyawu and Walters since Walters will be in nearly every lineup.
Also consider: Enoch Boakye, Fresno State ($7.2K); Kalib Boone, UNLV ($6.6K); Rob Whaley Jr., UNLV ($5.9K); Kalifa Sakho, Utah State ($3.3K)
