We have our smallest college basketball slate of the season so far with only two games that DraftKings thought were worth putting on their slate. There are some mid-major games left off, which is a little disappointing, but we still have some Power Five flavor on here along with the Bison. Who doesn't like the Bison?
We tip this off in Ames where the Cyclones are looking for some Hilton Magic in the hardwood edition of the CyHawk game. A half-hour later, we tip in Fargo with the Bison hosting Portland. It is a small but mighty two games!
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 12/7/23, starting at 7:30 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
Tamin Lipsey, Iowa State ($9,600)
Lipsey is by far the best player on this slate. He has 94 DraftKings points over his last two games against DePaul and Texas A&M. He's not packing on the numbers against bad teams. He posted a triple-double against the Blue Demons in Chicago last week and has at least three steals in each of the last six games. He hasn't had fewer than two in a game all season. Perhaps my favorite stat from Lipsey is that he is averaging a modest 15 points per game on the season, but he is averaging 38.8 DraftKings points. Lipsey packs on the peripheral stats.
Tajavis Miller, North Dakota State ($6,100)
Miller has cleared 30 DraftKings points in three of the last four games. That's a really strong return in this price range. Miller isn't much of a scorer. Most of his damage is done on the boards and through assists. You know how much I like to use guys that aren't scoring-dependent. Sign me up!
Vukasin Masic, Portland ($4,200)
Masic is mostly a scorer, but whenever a guy plays 25-30 minutes per game at this price, I pay attention. That means a ceiling game could happen at any time if a few bounces go his way. Masic isn't a huge part of the offense, but he is a decent shooter when he gets his chances. We can do a lot worse for value on this slate.
Also consider: Keshon Gilbert, Iowa State ($8,400); Tyler Harris, Portland ($7,500); Damari Wheeler-Thomas, North Dakota State ($6,700); Chris Austin, Portland ($5,000)

DraftKings CBB DFS Forwards
Ben Krikke, Iowa ($7,300)
The Valparaiso transfer has held his own with Iowa so far. He even turned in a solid 26.75 DraftKings points while tangling with Zach Edey earlier this week. Krikke is mostly a scorer, but he hauls down his share of rebounds and is a capable passer as well. His low mark on the season was 11 points against Oklahoma. Krikke is one of the better shooters that the Hawkeyes have, which gives him a solid floor...even against a team like Iowa State.
Milan Momcilovic, Iowa State ($5,800)
I don't trust Tre King's nuclear game against DePaul. I'll go back to the freshman, who has brought a solid all-around game to the Cyclones. He's a good outside shooter and a decent rebounder. Momcilovic has at least 20 DraftKings points in all but the VCU game. I'm not chasing the 32-point outburst from King earlier this week. He's a good player, but he has never scored like that before. A repeat performance isn't likely.
Andrew Morgan, North Dakota State ($5,200)
If Morgan could keep his hands to himself, he would be dangerous. He has committed 16 fouls in the last five games. In one of those games, he committed none! That's right...four fouls in each of the other four games. This perpetual foul trouble has neutered his production since he finds himself on the bench quite often. However, Morgan has still scored in double figures in each of the last two games. He has significant upside if he can stay on the court.
Also consider: Payton Sandfort, Iowa ($7,100); Tre King, Iowa State ($6,100); Alimamy Koroma, Portland ($5,500); Jeremiah Burke, North Dakota State ($3,700)
