GUARDS
Will Richardson - Oregon - DK Only: $6,300
The Ducks find themselves in an excellent matchup tonight against their in-state rival, so definitely look their way on DraftKings. Oregon can beat you in so many different ways, but most of them involve guard Will Richardson. The 6’5” junior was fantastic yesterday, posting 17 points, nine assists, and seven rebounds en route to 42 fantasy points. There’s a good chance he’ll keep the momentum against an Oregon State team that ranks 259th in defensive efficiency.

Mark Vital - Baylor - FD: $5,000 - DK: $5,500
Vital won’t steal any headlines from teammate Jared Butler, but he’ll continue to put up sneaky-good DFS value. Our CBB DFS Optimizer regards him as the best “per dollar” play on both sites, and I’m backing that sentiment. He’s cheap on FanDuel and DraftKings despite hitting 24-31 fantasy points in six of his last seven. That’s all you really need from him tonight. Vital is averaging close to 10 rebounds over his last six games, which helps strengthen his fantasy floor.
Luis Rodriguez - Mississippi - FD Only: $5,200
Rodriguez was listed as a cheap option in yesterday’s article, and I’m going back to the well today. In fact, Rodriguez, Shuler, and White are all on my radar from Mississippi. The Rebels find themselves in another strong matchup vs. LSU, who ranks 38th in pace and 224 in defensive efficiency. Rodriguez is a steady value play for 20-25 fantasy points, but keep White and Shuler on your shortlist as well.
Also Consider: Devontae Shuler (FD), Davonte Davis, Xavier Pinson (DK good value), Jared Butler
FORWARDS
Justin Smith - Arkansas - FD: $6,100 - DK: $7,100
This Arkansas-Missouri game represents one of the highest over/under (149) of the night. Justin Smith is way too cheap on FanDuel, and he’s a decent value on DraftKings as well. Smith has rattled off 36+ fantasy points in four of his last six games, and I believe he can surpass that threshold tonight. He posted 36 FP against Missouri earlier this year, while the Tigers rank middle-of-the-pack in defensive efficiency and rebound rate.
Luke Garza - Iowa - FD Only: $9,000
Garza is the Joel Embiid of college basketball DFS. Okay, maybe that’s not the best comparison, as they have very different playing styles. Garza has a very nice fantasy floor/ceiling combination, akin to Embiid in NBA DFS. Better? Fantasy points seemingly find this guy, and that should continue to be the case against a Wisconsin team that ranks 223rd in rebound rate. Garza has gone for 44 and 49 fantasy points in two games against the Badgers, and the big man should continue to feast tonight. With all of the value listed in this article, you should be able to make him work on FanDuel … Sandro Mamukelashvili of Seton Hall is the closest thing to Garza on DraftKings’ slate.
Jalen Wilson - Kansas - FD Only: $6,500
Wilson was mentioned in yesterday’s article, and the same analysis holds true today. David McCormack is out for the Jayhawks, so Wilson will continue to hold a larger role in the rotation. That translated to 27 fantasy points yesterday vs. Oklahoma, which represents a solid return despite shooting just 2-10 from the field. A better shooting night could unlock his upside.
Also Consider: Romello White (FD), Sandro Mamukelashvili (DK), Chudier Bile (DK great value)
