Today's DraftKings college basketball DFS lineup picks for 12/10/23. Mike Marteny's CBB daily fantasy advice and lineup sleepers to help you win on DraftKings.
We have a nice six-gamer in store for us today to take away from the NFL. It's an all-day affair with some marquee teams taking the court. We open up in Brooklyn with Miami and Colorado tipping off at the Barclays Center.
We have to wait until 4 pm for the next round of games. Memphis visits Texas A&M. We have Ole Miss heading to Orlando to take on UCF. St. John's heads over to Boston College. We have Michigan State in Lincoln to take on Nebraska. We close this out in Oklahoma City with Tulsa taking on the OKST Cowboys. How does this make sense? Stillwater and Tulsa are closer to each other than Oklahoma City...
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 12/10/23, starting at 1:45 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
KJ Simpson, Colorado ($8,300)
It's shocking with the guards that Miami has that they don't do a better job of guarding the perimeter. Simpson should be able to take advantage of that. He has been more efficient with his shots after a disastrous 5-for-22 showing against Florida State just before Thanksgiving. Aside from the uptick in scoring, Simpson is still contributing across the board. I'll ride this as long as Simpson's stroke is hot.
Jaeden Zackery, Boston College ($7,300)
Zackery's price actually went down after a strong performance against Holy Cross on Friday. Zackery has scored in double figures in each of the last four games with 14 rebounds, 22 assists, and 10 steals in that span. We are seeing big minutes out of Zackery and BC will need his scoring against a tough St. John's squad.
A.J. Hoggard, Michigan State ($6,600)
Tyson Walker is the volume shooter for the Spartans, but he doesn't offer much else if his shot isn't falling. Hoggard is the guy doing the dirty work, but he also has scored in double figures in five straight games. The Spartans have largely been a disappointment so far, but don't blame Hoggard. He's efficient from the floor and contributes in all categories but blocks.
Jamarques Lawrence, Nebraska ($4,700)
The workload for Lawrence is steadily increasing, but he doesn't always do a lot in his time on the court. Still, time on the court is key for a value play. Lawrence has played at least 26 minutes in four straight games and scored in double figures in two of the last three. The Cornhuskers needed his sharpshooting against Minnesota and likely will again today.
Also consider: Allen Flanigan, Mississippi ($8,800); Javon Small, Oklahoma State ($8,100); Jaylen Murray, Mississippi ($7,000); Keaston Willis, Tulsa ($5,900); Caleb Mills, Memphis ($5,200); Hayden Hefner, Texas A&M ($4,300); Nahiem Alleyne, St. John's ($3,700)

DraftKings CBB DFS Forwards
Joel Soriano, St. John's ($8,400)
It's going to be a battle up front between Soriano and Quinten Post. I expect at least one of them to have a big game. Soriano has five double-doubles on the season and Post has four. The production should be similar, but I'm going with Soriano because of the better supporting cast and the significant savings. I'm not opposed to using both if you can fit them.
Henry Coleman III, Texas A&M ($7,100)
Coleman is a constant double-double threat this year. He seems to be over the ankle injury that he suffered in the loss to Florida Atlantic on Thanksgiving weekend which caused him to miss a game and a half. He came back with a double-double against a tough Virginia team and finished one rebound shy in just 26 minutes in the blowout win over DePaul. Coleman has at least 30 DraftKings points in every competitive game for the Aggies this year. We can count on him.
Cody Williams, Colorado ($6,200)
The hyped freshman has overcome an inconsistent start to the campaign with four straight games in double figures in scoring. He's still inconsistent in other categories, but if Williams keeps up the 17.7 points per game that he has averaged in the last four, he'll make value in points alone.
Marchelus Avery, Central Florida ($4,400)
The New Mexico State transfer has been one of the few bright spots up front for the Knights. They are going to have their hands full against Mississippi, but Avery is one of the better spot-up shooters for UCF right now. He has made six of 10 threes in the last two games. The Knights need the scoring, so Avery has a good ceiling at a very low price.
Also consider: Quinten Post, Boston College ($9,700); Tristan Da Silva, Colorado ($7,400); Juwan Gary, Nebraska ($6,700); Jaemyn Brakefield, Mississippi ($6,400); Andersson Garcia, Texas A&M ($5,600); Carson Cooper, Michigan State ($4,500)
