We have another busy Tuesday night with 15 games on tap. We've gone over a loaded main slate. What is left for the six-game nightcap? We've still got plenty of top teams and an important Mountain West matchup. Is Mountain West a power conference this year? It sure feels like it! All six games start at the same time, so it's 150 minutes of pure DFS chaos. I live for slates like this!
We have Seton Hall in Chicago to take on the Blue Demons. Michigan is in East Lansing to take on Little Brother without Dug McDaniel. Oklahoma State has to deal with the Phog in Lawrence. Louisville heads to upstate South Carolina to take on Clemson. Miami is in Raleigh to take on the Pack. We also have The Aztecs in Fort Collins to take on Colorado State.
In this article, I will provide you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 1/30/24, starting at 9 p.m. EST. I’ll provide multiple player suggestions at guard and forward, aiming to highlight one option at the salary scale's high, middle, and lower levels. Good luck, RotoBallers.

Today's DraftKings Guards - CBB DFS Lineup Picks
Kevin McCullar Jr., Kansas ($8,500)
The Jayhawks needed a perimeter scorer to replace Gradey Dick and they pulled in McCullar from the portal. He has been better than they could have expected. McCullar is averaging nearly 20 points per game while piling up 6.4 rebounds and 4.7 assists. The Jayhawks beat up on the Cowboys in Stillwater back on January 16. Despite the blowout, McCullar still had 38.5 DraftKings points. I would be happy with that output again.
Johnny Furphy, Kansas ($6,800)
The freshman from Australia has taken Lawrence by storm since replacing Elmarko Jackson in the starting lineup on January 16. In that first game against Oklahoma State, Furphy put up 32.25 DraftKings points. He hasn't been under 25 yet as a member of the starting lineup. Furphy fits right in with Kansas and is still a strong play at this price.
Darrion Trammell, San Diego State ($4,900)
Trammell has at least 16 DraftKings points in three straight games and six of the last seven. That's a nice floor for a value play. He gives good scoring and defense off the bench for the Aztecs. He does a little bit of everything, which is why I trust his floor.
Jaelin Llewellyn, Michigan ($4,600)
Llewellyn has started in both road games since the academic suspension was handed down on Dug McDaniel for road games. In those two games, Llewellyn has 25 points, four rebounds, six assists, and three steals in 62 minutes. That's a great return for a value play and allows us to pay up for at least one star tonight.
Also consider: Nique Clifford, Colorado State ($7,800); Tyson Walker, Michigan State ($7,600); DJ Horne, North Carolina State ($7,100); A.J. Hoggard, Michigan State ($6,900); Jalen Terry, DePaul ($6,300); Casey Morsell, North Carolina State ($6,100); John-Michael Wright, Oklahoma State ($5,100); Isaiah Coleman, Seton Hall ($4,800); Jarius Hicklen, Oklahoma State ($4,100)

Today's DraftKings Forwards - CBB DFS Lineup Picks
Jaedon LeDee, San Diego State ($8,400)
LeDee has scored in double figures in every game this season, so that makes him a constant double-double threat. He's also a strong defender and a good passer. LeDee is one of the more consistent fantasy producers in college DFS. His ceiling isn't as high as Hunter Dickinson or PJ Hall, but it's close and LeDee won't destroy your lineup like the other two might.
Malik Hall, Michigan State ($6,400)
Hall only played 24 minutes against Wisconsin because of first-half foul trouble and the entire team struggled in a defensive war against Maryland. We'll excuse a couple of subpar games from Hall. Michigan has some size, but Hall has scored in double figures in five straight and seven of the last eight games. If his rebounding totals are back to normal, he's a bargain at this price.
Mohamed Diarra, North Carolina State ($5,300)
Diarra is an absolute terror on the glass and a really good defender, but he's still a bench guy for the Wolfpack with D.J. Burns playing well as a starter. We'll still get 20-25 minutes out of Diarra off the bench and he has double-figure DraftKings points in six straight and eight of the last nine. His size will play well against Miami as the Pack will need someone to help with Norchad Omier.
Churchill Abass, DePaul ($4,100)
Abass has started the last three games for DePaul and put up 43.25 DraftKings points. That's not something that will break a slate, but that's a good return in this price range. Abass held his own with Oso Ighordaro and the trees up front for Creighton. He should be able to hold his own against Seton Hall as well.
Also consider: Hunter Dickinson, Kansas ($9,000); PJ Hall, Clemson ($8,700); Jaden Bediako, Seton Hall ($6,700); Joel Scott, Colorado State ($6,500); Brandon Garrison, Oklahoma State ($6,000); Mady Sissoko, Michigan State ($4,900); Elijah Saunders, San Diego State ($4,600)
