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! With the holiday tournaments winding down or over entirely, we will get back to a more regimented schedule. We have 10 games on tap today and there are some good ones!
The ESPN Tournament at Mouse World is the only tournament still going on. We have some fun teams on this slate like FAU, Louisville, and New Mexico State. We have interesting matchups like Texas A&M-Iowa State, Butler-Boise State, and Wyoming-Texas. We have a couple of possible mid-major dance crashers in Iona, Harvard, and Cal State Fullerton. It's good to get acquainted with these teams now.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 11/26/23, 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
KJ Simpson, Colorado ($8,700)
I like to target guys with high upside. Simpson has that because he contributes in everything but blocks. In a street-fight-type game with Richmond, he still netted 29.25 DraftKings points thanks to efficient shooting. He went cold against Florida State, but still racked up 32.75 DraftKings points thanks to rebounds and assists. That was Simpson's first poor shooting game of the season, so we'll give him a pass, especially since he still came through for us in DFS anyway.
Malik Mack, Harvard ($7,800)
Mack plays a lot of minutes and has produced against everyone from Colgate to Boston College and everyone in between. Mack is a volume shooter who hits a decent percentage with underrated passing skills and good rebounding skills for a guard. Indiana will be the toughest opponent to date, but Mack's floor should still be about 30 DraftKings points. That's a really good return on the price.
DJ Davis, Butler ($5,900)
Davis has stepped up his scoring for the Bulldogs lately as they have found themselves in up-tempo tilts. That should continue against Boise State. Davis isn't the model of efficiency, but he still shoots around 40% and crashes the boards. That's about all we can ask for at this price and it's a big bonus if we can count on it. The minutes are there, so the production should be as well.
Joel Brown, Iona ($4,500)
Brown has committed at least three fouls in every game this season. That's why he hasn't played more than 25 minutes. That kind of foul volume is unusual for a guard, but the stat sheet shows why. Brown also has 12 steals and 15 rebounds in five games. The 20 assists are a nice touch. He's not a volume scorer, but he is efficient and if he can manage to stay out of foul trouble, there is a lot of potential here.
Also consider: Johnell Davis, Florida Atlantic ($8,800); Tamin Lipsey, Iowa State ($8,300); Femi Odukale, New Mexico State ($7,500); Chibuzo Agbo, Boise State ($7,000); Marcus Williams, San Francisco ($6,200); Chandler Pigge, Harvard ($5,500); MJ Collins, Virginia Tech ($4,000)

DraftKings CBB DFS Forwards
Jesse Edwards, West Virginia ($9,400)
Edwards has been one rebound shy of a double-double in each of the last two games. He is a very efficient scorer and a great rim protector. In short, the Syracuse transfer has filled a couple of major holes for the Mountaineers so far and he fits in very well with his new team. He could put up a monster stat line against Bellarmine.
Rienk Mast, Nebraska ($8,200)
Mast has made a big impact on Nebraska so far. The 6'10" Bradley transfer has given the Cornhuskers size in the middle. He's not a great rim protector, but Mast is a very good rebounder and a sneaky-good passer. Those extra assists that we don't usually count on from a big man and the constant double-double threat help to give him a good DFS upside.
Lynn Kidd, Virginia Tech ($7,100)
Kidd has only missed 10 of 41 shots in five games this season. He has also only missed one of 27 free-throw attempts. That kind of efficiency makes him a constant double-double threat. Once again, forward is loaded. Tech plays in a massive contrast of styles here as Florida Atlantic likes to get up and down the floor. Kidd's athleticism should help if Tech is forced out of their comfort zone.
Ofri Naveh, West Virginia ($4,500)
Naveh epitomizes West Virginia. He was shut out against Louisville, yet he still wasn't a DFS dud because of the seven rebounds, a steal, and three assists. He only averages about 3.5 points per game, but nearly 15 DraftKings points per contest thanks to peripheral stats. That is exactly the kind of floor that I want in a value play.
Also consider: Kel'el Ware, Indiana ($9,200); Tristan Da Silva, Colorado ($8,000); Malik Reneau, Indiana ($7,200); Juwan Gary, Nebraska ($6,800); Chisom Okpara, Harvard ($6,600); Brandon Huntley-Hatfield, Louisville ($5,900); Robert Jones, Iowa State ($5,100);
