Today's early DraftKings college basketball DFS lineup picks for 11/21/23. Mike Marteny's CBB daily fantasy advice and lineup sleepers to help you win on DraftKings.
You know it's time for the holidays when we have a dual college basketball slate on a Tuesday! The early slate has the Sunshine Slam going on in Daytona Beach and we have all-day basketball in paradise with the Maui Invitational being held in Honolulu this year.
This is only a two-game slate, but these are a couple of really nice games. We start this off in Hawaii with Gonzaga taking on Syracuse. We cap off the afternoon in Daytona with Syracuse taking on Florida State. This is a really good one!
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks for the early slate on DraftKings on 11/21/23, starting at 2:30 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
KJ Simpson, Colorado ($8,300)
Simpson missed 30 DraftKings points for the first time this season yesterday against Richmond (give him a break...he still had 29.25). Simpson still did what we expect from him though. He was an efficient scorer, but the peripherals suffered in a game that Richmond uglied up with their tough defense. Expect better assist numbers against the Seminoles, but the scoring may suffer a bit.
Ryan Nembhard, Gonzaga ($6,200)
Nembhard has put up 62.75 DraftKings points in the two games in which he played most of the game. I expect this tilt with Syracuse to be closely contested as well, so Nembhard should see as many minutes as he can handle. If he drops us another 30 at this price, I think we'll all be ecstatic.
J'Vonne Hadley, Colorado ($4,600)
Hadley is playing big minutes for Colorado early on. Simpson is the scorer, but Hadley is racking up tons of peripheral stats. He only scored six points in the win over Richmond, but he piled up 27.5 DraftKings points thanks to six rebounds, four steals, three assists, and a block. He's like a really cheap Draymond Green right now.
Also consider: Judah Mintz, Syracuse ($9,500); Nolan Hickman, Gonzaga ($5,700); Justin Taylor, Syracuse ($5,200); Cam'Ron Fletcher, Florida State ($5,000); Dusty Stromer, Gonzaga ($3,900)

Anton Watson, Gonzaga ($7,300)
Both Watson and Graham Ike had trouble with Zach Edey yesterday. Both were in foul trouble for much of the game so it stunted their output. In the case of Watson, he had his worst shooting day of the year. Syracuse doesn't have a ton of size like Purdue does, so I can see Watson getting back on track here.
Jamir Watkins, Florida State ($6,000)
Watkins didn't play a lot in the first two games since they were blowouts of Kennesaw State and Central Michigan, but he has played 58 minutes in the last two games and piled up 57.5 DraftKings points. He has been arguably the best player for the Seminoles lately thanks to his efficient shooting and prolific passing. Watkins is good on the boards too. He is grossly underpriced right now, so make sure you slot Watkins in across the board.
Chris Bell, Syracuse ($5,500)
The Orange have had to fill in a lot of scoring from last year. Bell has filled the void. After a slow start, he has scored 53 points in the last three games. He is very scoring-dependent, but the shot volume right now is absurd (44 shots in those three games) for someone in this price range. Due to the shot volume, Bell feels like a low-risk proposition.
Also consider: Graham Ike, Gonzaga ($8,500); Tristan Da Silva, Colorado ($7,500); Eddie Lampkin, Colorado ($6,500); Baba Miller, Florida State ($5,100); Ben Gregg, Gonzaga ($4,000)
