We are easing into this week with only four games that made the cut on DraftKings today. One of them is a ranked team taking on a winless team, so hitting the bench value in that game could decide the slate.
We tip this off in the northeast with Quinnipiac hosting Yale. Howard heads to Penn to take on the Quakers. We then head out west to Spokane where Gonzaga welcomes in Mississippi Valley State. We close out in San Francisco with the Dons hosting New Orleans.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 12/11/23, starting at 7 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
Savion Lewis, Quinnipiac ($7,700)
Lewis slipped to second in the nation in assists after he only notched six in the win over Navy. His passing ability gives him a high floor, but the inconsistent scoring makes Lewis a bit of a risk in DFS. That said, the 12 rebounds in the last two games are a nice touch and help ease the lack of scoring.
Marcus Williams, San Francisco ($7,400)
Williams is one of the more accomplished scorers on this slate. He has scored at least 14 points in six straight games and is averaging 15.2 on the season. He's active on the boards and the defensive end, which means that Williams produces even when he isn't scoring. We haven't had to worry about that lately. Williams is the heart of the Dons offense right now.
Donovan Sanders, Mississippi Valley State ($6,000)
Sanders is playing big minutes even when the Delta Devils get blown out. That's what I want to see from this game. Gonzaga is going to win this going away. However, Sanders played 39 minutes and scored 18 of the 39 (!!) points that the team scored against Liberty last week in a 35-point loss. Sanders is a streaky shooter, so the production is all over the place. The scoring makes him a nice GPP dart, though.
Luka Krajnovic, Gonzaga ($4,000)
Krajnovic has only played in five games this season, but they were all blowouts. That's where we should find ourselves tonight. A blowout in front of the home crowd should lead to Mark Few emptying the bench. Krajnovic has played more than 20 minutes in two of those five games, so he's a decent dart throw in large field GPPs.
Also consider: Jordan Johnson, New Orleans ($8,200); Clark Slajchert, Penn ($7,500); Nolan Hickman, Gonzaga ($6,700); Jelani Williams, Howard ($5,100); Arecko Gipson, Mississippi Valley State ($4,600)

DraftKings CBB DFS Forwards
Jonathan Mogbo, San Francisco ($9,700)
Mogbo has 131 DraftKings points in the last three games. They were all against power conference schools (Minnesota, Arizona State, and Vanderbilt). He also has three double-doubles in the last four games. If this game stays close, Mogbo will break the slate. If it's a blowout, he likely won't pay off this price. I think we need to use Mogbo in cash games, but a GPP fade is an interesting concept.
Seth Towns, Howard ($6,400)
Towns has played 83 of a possible 85 minutes over the last two games and piled up 90.5 DraftKings points. The Bison are playing a lot of close games, but Towns still put up a solid stat line in a 22-point loss to Rutgers last month. Towns is the biggest scoring threat on the team and should have a strong game against the Quakers.
Danny Wolf, Yale ($5,600)
Wolf has scored in double figures in eight straight games, putting up a couple of double-doubles in that span. If we can get a double-double at this price point, we're ahead of the game. For the price, Wolf is one of my favorite plays on the entire slate. He hs a good scorer, active on the boards, and an underrated defender (seven steals in the last four games). There's a lot of potential here.
Rihards Vavers, Quinnipiac ($4,500)
Vavers is one of the few starters priced this low. He averages a solid 9.1 points and 4.5 rebounds on the season. Vavers isn't a big part of the Quinnipiac offense, but he is one of the better long-range threats that they have. He's worth a dart as a starter in this price range.
Also consider: Anton Watson, Gonzaga ($8,800); Nick Spinoso, Penn ($7,900); Amarri Tice, Quinnipiac ($6,900); Braden Huff, Gonzaga ($6,200); Colby Brooks, Gonzaga ($3,200)
