We have a big Tuesday with 12 games on the docket for tonight. The appetizer is Butler in Queens to take on St. John's. The normal 7 pm tip slot brings us Florida in Red Stick to take on the Tigers. South Carolina heads to Rupp. Michigan State heads west to Madison. We also have Oklahoma State in the Little Apple to take on the Wildcats.
8 pm brings us Texas Tech up in Ames. An hour later, we have Vandy heading down I-40 to Knoxville. Illinois is in Lincoln to take on an...interesting Nebraska team. Auburn heads to Oxford to take on the Rebels. Villanova is in Chicago to take on DePaul. North Carolina heads up to Virginia. We top it off with the Sooners in Phog to take on Kansas. It could be a rough night for me...
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 1/10/23, starting at 6:30 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
Chucky Hepburn, Wisconsin ($7,800)
Hepburn is averaging 3.5 steals per game in conference play so far this season. That's not his only trick either. Hepburn has scored 62 points and racked up 17 assists and 15 rebounds in four conference games as well. He's just hitting his stride for a very dangerous Wisconsin team. They had Kansas on the ropes in the Bahamas over Thanksgiving.
Santiago Vescovi, Tennessee ($7,300)
Vescovi might be the surest thing on the entire slate. He has at least 21 DraftKings points in every game this year. That means he is producing even when the games get out of hand. His ceiling seems to be in the mid-30's, but I can find room for that in any format if I know he's not going to tank my lineup.
Gabe Kalsheur, Iowa State ($5,600)
The absence of Aljaz Kunc has opened the door for Kalscheur to play more minutes and hoist more shots. He has scored at least 15 points in three of the last five games, playing at least 36 minutes in four of those. He is a bit dependent on scoring, but that makes him a superb GPP option at a reasonable price. We know the shot volume is going to be there with Kunc still sidelined.
Lamar Washington, Texas Tech ($4,300)
Washington played by far the most minutes of his freshman campaign against Oklahoma, and he topped that mark even before the overtime period. Washington has been solid all around when the Red Raiders put him on the court. Whether this boost in playing time is going to continue or not is anyone's guess, but Washington has played well enough to stay on the court. He's an intriguing bargain play in GPP formats.
Also consider: Markquis Nowell, Kansas State ($10,000); Terrence Shannon, Illinois ($7,900); Kihei Clark, Virginia ($7,600); Wendell Green, Auburn ($6,700); Armaan Franklin, Virginia ($6,400); Trae Hannibal, LSU ($5,400); Will Richard, Florida ($5,300); Milos Uzan, Oklahoma ($4,800); Allen Flanigan, Auburn ($4,300)

DraftKings CBB DFS Forwards
Oscar Tshiebwe, Kentucky ($10,600)
I'm not worried about Tshiebwe's poor score on Saturday. He was in foul trouble the entire game and sometimes that just...happens. This is a much easier matchup against South Carolina tonight, so I expect Tshiebwe back in the 40s. Who knows, maybe we get mad Oscar and he blows up the slate. No one else has the potential that Tshiebwe does. This is a great matchup and I'm paying up again.
Johni Broome, Auburn ($8,900)
Broome, a transfer from Morehead State, has averaged 18 points and 10.4 rebounds in the last four games. He is starting to dominate at the SEC level. He handled himself against Castleton and Florida and put up huge numbers against a good Georgia team. I feel pretty good about using Broome now. There are a couple of matchups coming up where I might leave him out, but Broome's numbers are very close to that of Tshiebwe at a much lower price.
KJ Adams, Kansas ($5,700)
Adams isn't the most well-known Kansas player, but he has quietly scored in double figures in every game since the Black Friday disaster against Tennessee in the finals in the Bahamas. Adams is very efficient from the floor, and he has to be as he is the third or fourth-best offensive option on this team. Adams makes a strong value play, but he has little upside.
Osun Osunniyi, Iowa State ($4,100)
Osunniyi is limited offensively, but he is taking over the "dirty work" that Kunc would normally do. Kalscheur took over the scoring, but the St. Bonaventure transfer has seen a nice uptick in peripheral stats thanks to a few more minutes for him. He's a good rebounder and good rim protector, which makes Osunniyi a nice value play with a high floor.
Also consider: Armando Bacot, North Carolina ($10,200); Jalen Wilson, Kansas ($9,200); Keyontae Johnson, Kansas State ($8,500); Derrick Walker, Nebraska ($7,500); Leaky Black, North Carolina ($6,100); Jaemyn Brakefield, Mississippi ($5,600); Kalib Boone, Oklahoma State ($5,400); Tre King, Iowa State ($3,200)
