During tournament time in college basketball, the turnaround is rather quick. Roundball is leaving prime time to the Pigskin, so the college basketball slate will be completed in the afternoon. We have some big names here like Washington State, Georgetown, Minnesota, Northwestern, Rutgers, Oregon State, and Creighton. We also have some lesser-knowns like Texas Southern, Howard, and South Carolina Upstate.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 11/18/23, starting at noon 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
Trey Alexander, Creighton ($9,500)
If you're still in a football coma and you're wondering why Creighton is ranked in the top 10, Alexander is why. He has averaged 44.2 DraftKings points to start the season, and it's not just weak opponents. His worst game was in the opener against Florida A&M when he played just 26 minutes because Creighton won by 49 points. He had monster games against North Dakota State and Iowa, both of whom could make the NCAA tournament. This might be on the lower end of the scale given the opponent, but Alexander is still going to put up a lot of points when he's in there.
Brooks Barnhizer, Northwestern ($7,700)
Barnhizer made a name for himself down the stretch last year for the Wildcats. Now he is establishing himself as the star of the team. Barnhizer has 51 points, 30 rebounds, eight assists, nine steals, and four blocks in just three games. For those of you keeping track at home, that comes out to 127.5 DraftKings points, or 42.5 per game. Lock and load!
Jayden Epps, Georgetown ($6,100)
Epps left a crowded Illinois backcourt for Georgetown where he has the chance to be the lead guard. Epps has done well so far with 43 points, 15 assists, five rebounds, two steals, and two blocks in his first three games. I expect to see an uptick in scoring out of Epps while the assist numbers remain high. He hasn't quite meshed those two parts of his game together yet, but the upside is great against Mount St. Mary's.
Dexter Akanno, Oregon State ($5,200)
Akanno has played 88 minutes in the last two games alone! After playing just 15 minutes in the blowout win in the opener, Akanno has been a stalwart on the court for the Beavers in the last two. He has 61.5 DraftKings points in those two games. Akanno has started the season a bit slow from the field, but the peripherals and minutes are there. When his shot starts falling, look out!
Also consider: Boo Buie, Northwestern ($8,300); Jaeden Zackery, Boston College ($7,500); Malik Mack, Harvard ($6,800); Trae Broadnax, South Carolina Upstate ($6,800); Myles Rice, Washington State ($5,500); Zek Montgomery, Rhode Island ($5,400); Chandler Pigge, Harvard ($4,000)

DraftKings CBB DFS Forwards
Dawson Garcia, Minnesota ($9,100)
Garcia is dominating on the interior for the Gophers so far. He has 61 points, 29 rebounds, 12 assists, two steals, and four blocks in the first three games. He was a constant double-double threat last season and it looks like this year will be more of the same. South Carolina Upstate doesn't have anyone that can keep him off the boards in this one. Garcia should notch a double-double with ease today.
Isaac Jones, Washington State ($8,000)
The Idaho transfer just missed a double-double in the opener by one rebound and made one against Prairie View A&M in just 29 minutes of court time. This will be the first real test for the Cougars, so Jones should see significant court time in this one. He's efficient as a shooter and a force on the glass. That's a good combination when we're chasing that double-double bonus.
Andrej Jakimovski, Washington State ($6,600)
Jakimovski has started the season on fire, hitting 14 of his 24 shots, including 5-of-11 from downtown. The senior only had one prior 20-point game for the Cougars before his 21 against Idaho to open the season. He was similarly sharp against Prairie View A&M while hauling in nine rebounds with his 14 points. This feels like the beginning of a breakout for Jakimovski.
Tyler Bilodeau, Oregon State ($5,500)
Bilodeau finished just one rebound shy of his second straight double-double against Appalachian State on Tuesday. When he stays out of foul trouble, Bilodeau logs a huge amount of minutes (39 of the 40 against App State). He's a double-double machine when he can keep his hands to himself. Not many at this price point can say that.
Also consider: Quinten Post, Boston College ($8,700); Jimmy Bell, Mississippi State ($6,800); Juwan Gary, Nebraska ($6,100); Chisom Okpara, Harvard ($5,100); Jeremy Foumena, Rhode Island ($4,000)
