In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 11/29/23, starting at 7:15 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
Isaiah Stevens, Colorado State ($9,500)
Stevens has cleared 40 DraftKings points three times in the last five games. He dumped in 20 points while pulling down six rebounds and handing out seven assists in the upset over Creighton last week. Stevens contributes all over the court and piles up assists and steals. The rebounds may not happen again, but Stevens has at least one steal in every game and at least seven assists in four of the six games. He's the safest pay-up spot at guard tonight.
Tyrin Lawrence, Vanderbilt ($7,900)
Lawrence missed the first four games of the season with a hip injury, but he has put up 70.75 DraftKings points in the two games he has played. It's not like they were against weak competition either. Lawrence did this against Arizona State and North Carolina State. Sure, they're the weakest of the Power-Five schools in their respective states, but they are still solid teams. I expect another strong game out of Lawrence. Play him before the price gets out of control.
Riley Kugel, Florida ($6,600)
When his shot is falling, Kugel is a DFS game-changer. He piled on 25 points in the loss to Baylor last week on 10-of-20 shooting from the floor, resulting in 45.25 DraftKings points. The bad news? His floor is lower than most priced in his range as well. He's a perfect large-field GPP dart, but in cash games, you'll want something a little more consistent. Kugel likely gets there at some point this season, but he has been inconsistent in the early going.
Isaac McKneely, Virginia ($4,800)
McKneely plays a lot of minutes for the Wahoos, but he doesn't always do a lot. He's a decent scorer and a decent rebounder, but that's the point. He's consistently decent, which is what we ask for in a value play. McKneely has played at least 30 minutes in four of the five games. It's not like he's not going to get his chances to produce.
Also consider: Zhuric Phelps, SMU ($8,600); Reece Beekman, Virginia ($8,000); Jordan King, Richmond ($7,500); Tyrese Proctor, Duke ($6,900); Evan Taylor, Vanderbilt ($6,300); Xavier Bell, Wichita State ($5,700); Kobe Brea, Dayton ($5,000); Dji Bailey, Richmond ($4,600)

DraftKings CBB DFS Forwards
Kyle Filipowski, Duke ($9,700)
Why wait for Armando Bacot to get in one of his grooves when Filipowski is already in one? Filipowski is still putting up big numbers despite blowouts over the last couple of weeks for Duke. He scored 24.5 DraftKings points in just 16 minutes against Bucknell. He put up 77 DraftKings points in the two competitive games (Michigan State and Arizona) that Duke has played so far this season. He should at least flirt with 40 against Arkansas. That's a lot more than Bacot did.
Kenny Pohto, Wichita State ($7,500)
This team goes as Pohto goes. He dominated in the last two games against St. Louis and Norfolk State, piling up 83.5 DraftKings points. We saw him struggle against Liberty a couple of weeks ago and the Shockers lost that game. There is really no excuse for Pohto only taking four shots in that game. That's why we've seen him on display in the last couple of games. That's going to continue tonight.
Ven-Allen Lubin, Vanderbilt ($5,500)
Like Tyrin Lawrence, Lubin also missed the first four games of the season. The surprising thing to me is that Lubin has played 53 minutes in two games. He wasn't anywhere near that last year with Notre Dame. Lubin was really good in his limited minutes for the Irish and that has carried over with his minutes increase. Lubin tallied 27 points, 14 rebounds, a steal, a block, and an assist in those 53 minutes. That's a strong return at this price point.
Marqus Marion, Wake Forest ($3,600)
Marion has seen a gradual increase in minutes lately and his production last spiked as well. He has 34.75 DraftKings points in 52 minutes over the last two games. Wake likes his presence on the interior, but he's not very involved in the offense...at least not yet. He has hit all three shots from the field in that span though. Not bad for a guy this cheap.
Also consider: Quinten Post, Boston College ($10,100); Harrison Ingram, North Carolina ($8,200); Tristan Da Silva, Colorado ($7,700); Jamir Watkins, Florida State ($7,400); Jonas Aidoo, Tennessee ($6,900); Mark Mitchell, Duke ($6,100); Andersson Garcia, Texas A&M ($5,600); De'Ante Green, Florida State ($3,500)
