Today's DraftKings college basketball DFS lineup picks for 11/16/23. Mike Marteny's CBB daily fantasy advice and lineup sleepers to help you win on DraftKings.
The "preseason" non-conference games are some of the most fun you can have on a college basketball slate. You have spoken and we listened! We will have more college basketball content here at RotoBaller than ever before. We'll have more DFS articles, more betting articles, and many other pieces throughout the season! If you're just joining us, welcome! You're joining at a good time!
It's a weird time of year with some tournaments going on, but most of these games are right on campus where they should be. We have some lesser-known teams on this slate (Towson, UMass-Lowell, Wright State, Texas Southern, and Montana State), but we're not short on bluebloods either (Houston, Oklahoma State, Indiana, Missouri, Wake, Utah, Minnesota, Auburn, and Notre Dame). Let's have some fun!
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 11/16/23, starting at 6:15 pm Eastern. I’ll provide multiple player suggestions at guard and forward, aiming to highlight one option at the high, middle, and lower end of the salary scale. Good luck, RotoBallers.

DraftKings CBB DFS Guards
Jaylon Tyson, California ($8,400)
The Texas Tech transfer has hit the court running in Berkeley. Tyson has 33 points, 23 rebounds, 10 assists, three steals, and a block in just two games. He was more of a role player at Tech, but Tyson appears to be the leader of this Cal team right now. He puts up numbers across the board. If he didn't, he wouldn't have played much for the Red Raiders. It's kind of what they do. DK hasn't quite adjusted the price on Tyson yet. I'll take advantage while he's still priced a bit low.
Frankie Collins, Arizona State ($7,900)
I'm a sucker for guys that pack the stat sheet. I'm also a sucker for guys that pack the stat sheet and are playing inferior opponents. As a whole, the Sun Devils look like a solid team, but it doesn't really look like they are capable of running off with a game. Collins does it all. He has played 64 minutes in the two games so far, piling up 23 points, 11 rebounds, nine assists, and six steals. We would like to see Collins shoot a little better from the field, but I view that as a way towards improvement. His ceiling is a little higher if the shots start falling at a slightly better rate.
Ryan Dunn, Virginia ($6,600)
It looks like the Hoos already have their replacement for Jayden Gardner. Dunn has been outstanding in three games this year, posting 28 points, 26 rebounds, four assists, five blocks, and nine steals in just 75 minutes. He is producing even in blowouts because of the high counting stats on defense. If Virginia rolls Texas Southern, Dunn should still put up enough stats for us to feel good about his production.
Aden Holloway, Auburn ($5,300)
Holloway will have some growing pains as a freshman in a major conference for a ranked team, but his first two collegiate games have to be considered a success. Holloway scored 30 points, hauled in three rebounds, dished out nine assists, and even picked up a block. The 25-shot attempts mean the volume will be there for Holloway. Notre Dame just lost to West Carolina last week, so I feel good about Holloway's ability to get open here.
Also consider: Markus Burton, Notre Dame ($8,700); Trey Calvin, Wright State ($8,300); Cam Christie, Minnesota ($7,700); Cole Bajema, Utah ($7,100); Jalen Cone, California ($6,900); Rollie Worster, Utah ($6,300); Julian Roper, Notre Dame ($5,600); Tanner Holden, Wright State ($5,200); Caleb Grill, Missouri ($5,000); Patrick McMahon, Montana State ($4,500)

DraftKings CBB DFS Forwards
Johni Broome, Auburn ($9,600)
Broome has 78.5 DraftKings points in 50 minutes this year. If this game stays close, he is going to have a monster stat line. Broome has by far the most upside on the entire slate. However, if the Notre Dame team that lost to West Carolina shows up, Broome might "only" get 40.
Carey Booth, Notre Dame ($6,500)
Booth was the only bright spot for the Irish in the loss to West Carolina. He shot 50% from the floor and hit four of eight threes. Booth has scored in double figures in both games for the Irish despite coming off the bench. He's a good rebounder too. His 50% shooting on 20 shots should get him more playing time going forward. The Irish obviously need the scoring.
Malik Reneau, Indiana ($6,200)
The Hoosiers are still trying to find an identity with Trayce Jackson-Davis now in the NBA. So far, Reneau has been a force up front. He has 29 points, eight rebounds, seven assists, and three blocks over the first two games. No one player is going to make up for the loss of TJD, but the uptick in scoring and efficient shooting from Reneau is welcome.
Abdoul Kareem Coulibaly, Massachusetts-Lowell ($5,300)
Coulibaly has flirted with a double-double in each of the last two games. It's going to be tougher going against Arizona State, but the Riverhawks not only held their own against Georgia Tech, but they picked up the win. Foul trouble limited Coulibaly against the Yellow Jackets, but if he can keep his hands to himself, there is good upside here.
Also consider: Kel'el Ware, Indiana ($8,900); Fardaws Aimaq, California ($8,100); Brandon Noel, Wright State ($7,000); Eric Dailey, Oklahoma State ($6,000); Jake Groves, Virginia ($5,600); Dylan Cardwell, Auburn ($4,300)
