We have a big 11-game DraftKings tournament matinee on our Saturday! It's a nice warm-up for the Army-Navy game! We open with Penn State in Champaign for the nooner. 1 pm gives us Arkansas in Norman and Louisville heading down to Tallahassee.
The 2 pm hour gives us NC State down in Miami, Wake heading to the bayou to take on LSU, and Purdue heading to Nebraska. It picks up a 3 with San Diego State visiting St. Mary's, Alabama in Houston to take on the Cougs, and the battle of Cincinnati with Xavier heading across town to take on the Bearcats. We finish this off with the Wreck in Chapel Hill. This is going to be a good one!
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 12/10/22 starting at noon Eastern. I’ll provide multiple player suggestions for players 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
Jalen Pickett, Penn State ($9,000)
On paper, this is not a good matchup for Pickett. What is paper good for, anyway? Penn State scored just 58 points in the loss to Michigan State on Wednesday but Pickett still came just two assists shy of a triple-double and racked up an impressive 52.75 DraftKings points. That game was a slog played at a snail's pace and Pickett still nearly broke the slate. He's more of a cash-game pick against the Illini, but Pickett has proven he's worthy of GPP consideration as well.
Grant Sherfield, Oklahoma ($7,600)
The Nevada transfer has given the Sooners a legitimate outside threat that they lacked last year after the departures of Brady Manek and Austin Reaves. Sherfield has at least 20 points in three of the last four games and has proven to be a solid player on the defensive end as well. Oklahoma is once again a bit all over the place, but having a stabilizing force such as Sherfield helps the team...and our DFS lineups.
Matthew Cleveland, Florida State ($6,200)
Cleveland isn't the most efficient guy, but with Cam'Ron Fletcher out, he has become a reliable scorer for the Seminoles. Cleveland plays big minutes and is a strong rebounder. Even if his shot isn't always falling, he has a good floor. Cleveland can take as many shots as he wants with Fletcher out. There are plenty to go around, giving him a nice ceiling.
Milos Uzan, Oklahoma ($4,100)
Uzan replaced the struggling C.J. Noland in the starting lineup against UMKC and responded with a strong 22.75 DraftKings points. Arkansas is a tougher opponent, but Uzan gave the Sooners some consistency. Noland has been a black hole on offense for the entire season so far. Uzan likely has a short leash, but he's starting for a good team at a very low price. I'll take a flier on that in GPPs.
Also consider: Terquavion Smith, North Carolina State ($8,600); Brandon Murray, Georgetown ($8,000); Souley Boum, Xavier ($7,200); Jack Clark, North Carolina State ($6,600); Miles Kelly, Georgia Tech ($6,300); Fletcher Loyer, Purdue ($5,500); Ethan Morton, Purdue ($4,700); Jayden Epps, Illinois ($4,600)

DraftKings CBB DFS Forwards
Zach Edey, Purdue ($10,200)
I said this on Tuesday and the same is true today: who's going to guard this guy? Nebraska is scrappy but undersized. Edey should eat them alive. He has 111.5 DraftKings points over the last two games. That's possible because Edey has only committed seven fouls in the last five games combined after starting the season in perpetual foul trouble. Edey is playing at a high level right now and has another very high ceiling today. Pay up!
Coleman Hawkins, Illinois ($7,000)
Hawkins had a terrible November but has 113 DraftKings points over the last three games. That's great for the price, but it's even more impressive when you consider those games came against Syracuse, Maryland, and Texas. Hawkins is a double-double waiting to happen and is a terror protecting the rim. He has seven blocks over the last two games and put up a triple-double against Syracuse. This is what we expected from Hawkins. He is very underpriced right now.
Mitchell Saxen, St. Mary's ($6,400)
I won't hold Saxon's ugly game against Houston against him. Houston is a really good team. Aside from that game, Saxen has at least 25 DraftKings points in every other game this season. SDSU is a strong team, but the Gaels have been the class of the WCC for a while now. Saxen at his best is a stat sheet stuffer that is one of the better shooters in the conference. He feels cheap today as well.
Sam Godwin, Oklahoma ($4,500)
Godwin is a high-energy bench player that is a superb shooter and good rebounder. He doesn't see a ton of minutes behind the Groves brothers, but when Godwin does get on the court, he's a force. With Oklahoma having trouble with consistency outside of Sherfield and the brothers, Godwin could see the minutes increase if he keeps shooting 75% from the floor. That's not a typo.
Also consider: Jesse Edwards, Syracuse ($9,100); KJ Williams, LSU ($8,700); Pete Nance, North Carolina ($6,900); Viktor Lakhin, Cincinnati ($6,200); Makhi Mitchell, Arkansas ($5,900); Caleb Furst, Purdue ($5,000); Trey Kaufman-Renn, Purdue ($3,700)
