Today's Early DraftKings CBB DFS lineup picks for 11/29/24. Mike M's top daily fantasy college basketball sleepers to build winning NCAA DFS lineups on DraftKings.
I hope all of you had your fill of tryptophan and are ready for a spread of college football and college hoops that will rival your Thanksgiving dinner. Some of the holiday tournaments wrap up today while others are just getting started. Today's action starts at the Mouse House with Minnesota taking on Wake. Next up, we have a campus game in the middle of all of this with Pitt heading to Columbus to take on Ohio State.
We have both games from Atlantis on this slate, with West Virginia taking on Arizona and Oklahoma clashing with Louisville. We have Wichita State and Florida in the Mouse House for the ESPN Championship. We also have the two games from the Rady Invitational, with BYU meeting North Carolina State and Purdue taking on Mississippi.
This article will provide you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks on DraftKings on 11/29/24, starting at 1 p.m. EST. I’ll give 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
Javon Small, West Virginia ($9.4K)
Third straight 20-point effort for @small_javon ? pic.twitter.com/N5pl8ChlM4
— WVU Men's Basketball (@WVUhoops) November 28, 2024
West Virginia has played back-to-back overtime games in Atlantis. Small played 86 minutes over those two games. He was a good scorer at Oklahoma State last year, but he has elevated his game to elite this year. Small has 57 points, 14 rebounds, nine assists, five steals, and a block in the first two games of this tournament. Fire him up for the last day as well!
Jeremiah Fears, Oklahoma ($7.8K)
It was a much more efficient game from Fears against Arizona yesterday. He scored 26 points on 7-of-17 shooting and was perfect from the line. That alone isn't enough to pile up the DraftKings points. The five rebounds and five assists do that. Fears isn't just a shooter. He can do everything. He's looking a lot like Austin Reaves did at Oklahoma.
Caleb Love, Arizona ($6.8K)
Love has always been a streaky player. He seems to be entering that hot streak now. Love has 37 points, 10 rebounds, seven assists, and three steals in the first two games in Atlantis. More importantly, six of his 12 made three-pointers on the season are in these two games. Love's price is intriguing for what his upside is.
Femi Odukale, Minnesota ($5.9K)
Odukale played the entire game yesterday against Wichita State, pouring in 13 points to go with his eight assists and five rebounds. The Gophers have been looking for a spark in the backcourt with Tyler Cochran out. This could be it.
John Mobley Jr., Ohio State ($5.1K)
Mobley is pouring in the points lately for the Buckeyes. He has 37 points in the last two games alone. He's not much of a peripherals guy aside from steals, but he is an instant offensive spark off the bench. He's a solid value play for the shot volume he gets.
Also consider: Chucky Hepburn, Louisville ($8.4K); Bruce Thornton, Ohio State ($8K); Egor Demin, BYU ($7.7K); Jaylen Murray, Mississippi ($7.1K); Lu'Cye Patterson, Minnesota ($6.6K); Meechie Johnson Jr., Ohio State ($5.8K); Reyne Smith, Louisville ($5.3K); Evan Mahaffey, Ohio State ($5.1K); Isaac Asuma, Minnesota ($4.9K)

Today's DraftKings Forwards - CBB DFS Lineup Picks
Fousseyni Traore, BYU ($7.4K)
Big 12 Men's Player efficiency rating (PER) leaders entering today:
Fousseyni Traore (@BYUMBB): 39.9
JT Toppin (@TexasTechMBB): 39.0
Elijah Malone (@CUBuffsMBB): 31.7
Simas Lukosius (@GoBearcatsMBB): 31.5
Egor Demin (@BYUMBB): 31.3
Hunter Dickinson (@KUHoops): 30.8— College Basketball Reference (@collegebb_ref) November 26, 2024
Those are wild numbers, considering the amount of talent in the Big 12 (16). What's even more wild is that Traore still only plays a shade over 20 minutes a game. His season averages don't do him justice. He has 60 points and 26 rebounds in the last three games -- the three competitive games that BYU has played. Expect a strong showing against the Pack today.
Amani Hansberry, West Virginia ($7.2K)
It was another successful start for Hansberry. He's second on the team in scoring at 12.5 points per game and the 7.2 rebounds are rather impressive, considering that he came off the bench in two games. The Oklahoma front had some success against Arizona last night. Hansberry might continue that.
Devin Royal, Ohio State ($6.4K)
The Ohio State frontcourt is significantly less crowded than it was last year. Royal still only plays about 25 minutes per game, but he is averaging 11.5 points and 8.2 rebounds in limited minutes. We can work with that in this price range. Royal has topped 30 DraftKings points in three consecutive games.
Guillermo Diaz Graham, Pittsburgh ($5.3K)
If there's a knock on Diaz Graham, it's that he isn't assertive enough on offense most of the time. He's a great rebounder and an efficient shooter when he does decide to take shots. We can still use him at this price based on the rebounding upside.
Also consider: Trey Kaufman-Renn, Purdue ($8.7K); Jalon Moore, Oklahoma ($7.5K); Kasean Pryor, Louisville ($7.3K); Alex Condon, Florida ($7K); Corey Washington, Wichita State ($6.9K); Kanon Catchings, BYU ($6.1K); Brandon Huntley-Hatfield, North Carolina State ($6K); Cameron Corhen, Pittsburgh ($5.8K); Camden Heide, Purdue ($5.1K)
