Big Monday leads into Super Tuesday today. We have a lot of NBA players who need something to do over the break, so I'm introducing you to the lingo. I will be with you on all your college hoops DFS adventures today. We have two slates to get us through our Tuesday night. Unlike NBA slates, the main is chopped up into many smaller ones. In college DFS contests, we have different games on every slate. Now that's a hell of a night-long tilt!
Our nightcap begins in Boise with San Jose State in town. The Dons of San Francisco head over to St. Mary's to take on the Gaels. We finish in Reno with Wyoming in town. We need to get familiar with these Mountain West teams. They are fourth in power rankings among the conferences and could put up to five teams in the NCAA tournament.
This article will provide you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 2/20/24, starting at 10:30 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.

If the name sounds familiar to you NBA fans, it should. Augustas is the son of former NBA sharpshooter Sarunas Marciulionis. The younger Marciulionis is a lights-out shooter, a really good passer, and strong on the boards as well. Marciulionis has scored in double figures in six straight games. The freshman is carrying the Gaels right now. Let him carry your DFS lineup as well. He put up 33.25 DraftKings points in the first meeting with San Francisco despite not scoring in double figures.
Myron Amey Jr., San Jose State ($7.4K)
I'm disappointed that the Spartans are on the road since they have one of the better court graphics. It's as blue as the Boise football field... and the Broncos play on a bland hardwood court. For shame. At any rate, Amey has topped 40 DraftKings points in back-to-back games thanks to efficient shooting and stellar defense. Amey nuked the Broncos in the first meeting for 50 DraftKings points. I like his chances to top 40 again tonight.
Aidan Mahaney, St. Mary's ($6.4K)
This is a guard-oriented Gaels squad and they all play bigger than their height and can score almost at will. Mahaney has been the go-to guy for the Gaels for a couple of years now, but pairing him with Marciulionis has created an explosiveness that this team has lacked in the past. The Dons present one of the tougher opponents in the WCC. Games that stay close create ceiling opportunities for the Gaels since the starters usually rest down the stretch in blowouts.
Daniel Foster, Nevada ($4.6K)
Foster is mostly a board-crasher from the perimeter for the Pack, but he'll score a few points here and there as well. There's nothing flashy about Foster or his stat lines. He's going to give you between 12 and 18 DraftKings points and go home. There's no ceiling, but the floor is a rare gift in the value tier if you overspent on the top guards (which is really easy to do on this slate).
Also consider: Kenan Blackshear, Nevada ($7.6K); Akuel Kot, Wyoming ($7.1K); Max Rice, Boise State ($6.6K); Brendan Wenzel, Wyoming ($6.3K); Ryan Beasley, San Francisco ($5.3K); Kenny Foster, Wyoming ($3.6K)

Today's DraftKings Forwards - CBB DFS Lineup Picks
Nick Davidson, Nevada ($7.9K)
This is based solely on the matchup. Jonathan Mogbo might be the most talented player on the slate, but he's priced like it against a team that contained him in the first meeting. You get $1.4K savings with Davidson who put up 30.25 DraftKings points on Wyoming the first time around. Davidson has scored in double figures in five straight, tallying three double-doubles in that span. There's no reason to think the Cowboys will slow him down this time around either.
Adrame Diongue, San Jose State ($5.1K)
The 7-footer from Senegal is an absolute terror on defense but is a work in progress on offense. His offensive limitations often keep him on the bench for a Spartans team that needs the points. Despite averaging only 16.7 minutes per game, Diongue leads the Mountain West in blocks and is second in rebounds. Those ancillary stats are worth more than points anyway. You keep stacking those stats up big guy and I'll keep playing you!
Also consider: Jonathan Mogbo, San Francisco ($9.3K); Tyson Degenhart, Boise State ($7.7K); Mason Walters, Wyoming ($7.3K); Tibet Gorener, San Jose State ($5.6K); Cam Martin, Boise State ($4.9K); Mason Forbes, St. Mary's ($4.4K)
