CBB DFS: DraftKings Daily Fantasy College Basketball Picks - Today's Top Lineups (12/3/25)

Mikel Brown Jr. - College-Basketball-Rankings-NCAA-CBB-DFS-Lineup-Picks

Today's DraftKings CBB DFS lineup picks for 12/3/25. Mike M's top daily fantasy college basketball sleepers to build winning NCAA DFS lineups on DraftKings.

With college football's regular season over, it's time to get some college basketball back on here! It was a fun opening night of the ACC/SEC Challenge with a little Kansas/UConn thrown in for good measure. What will the second day of the challenge have in store?

We've got some big names and some great matchups today. We'll go through all of those for each slate. We'll provide you with the core pieces to build a cash or GPP lineup. Then, we'll have some value plays to make it all fit. And for you Ricky Bobby types, we'll give you guys who have a great ceiling with a low floor because, "if you ain't first, you're last."

Here are my picks across all CBB DFS slates on Wednesday, December 3, with the main slate starting at 7 p.m. EST on DraftKings.

Today's Main Slate DraftKings CBB DFS Lineup Picks

Best Matchups:

  • Clemson vs. Alabama
  • Auburn guards vs. North Carolina State
  • Mississippi State guards vs. Georgia Tech
  • Georgia Tech frontcourt vs. Mississippi State

 

Core Pieces

Boopie Miller, SMU ($10.5K)

Miller leads the team in nearly every statistical category. He has at least 40 DraftKings points in six straight games. He had at least 30 in the other two games. He has the best floor on the slate and plenty of upside.

Duke Miles, Vanderbilt ($8.7K)

The Oklahoma transfer has unlocked his scoring potential in Nashville. Miles has scored in double figures in every game, going over 20 in five of the eight games. He's also a very good passer who keeps this potent offense going.

Vanderbilt has scored at least 89 points in all but one game, and has gone over 100 in four of them. We're going to see a lot of points tonight. Miles is a lock for at least 20 of them.

Mikel Brown Jr., Louisville ($7.7K)

The freshman has been huge for Louisville in the early going. He's not just a scorer. He's averaging six assists and 3.3 rebounds per game as well. Even when Brown's shot isn't falling, he finds plenty of other ways to produce.

Value Pieces:

Tre Singleton, Northwestern ($4.8K)

Singleton was coming off the bench and contributing across the board, but he has started the last two games. That has spiked his output around 22-25 DK points per game. He's a good shooter and strong on the glass, but he isn't always assertive on offense.

He still provides enough peripherals that if he's on the court for 30 minutes, 20 fantasy points will find him at the very least.

Dillon Hunter, Clemson ($4.8K)

Hunter is mostly a scorer, but this is exactly the kind of game you want to use a scorer in. Alabama considers it insulting to run half-court sets. They're going to run and run some more.

That should leave some great looks for Hunter in the frenzied pace. I wouldn't be shocked if he set a season high in points tonight.

Akai Fleming, Georgia Tech ($4.7K)

Fleming had a strong showing at the Emerald Coast Classic, putting up 46.4 DK points in 60 minutes. That was the most he has played all season, and honestly, Tech needs his scoring on the outside. We should see another 28 minutes of Fleming tonight.

 

Slate-Breakers

Ryan Conwell, Louisville ($9.6K)

The Xavier transfer has become an elite scorer for Louisville. The Cardinals love to run the floor. They put up points in bunches. Arkansas will get out and run with them.

Conwell's floor is fairly low, but the ceiling is in the high 50s. Not even Boopie Miller has that kind of ceiling tonight.

Baye Ndongo, Georgia Tech ($8.8K)

Ndongo still isn't the most consistent player on the court, but he has improved offensively and is still a terror in the paint. He's at his best when he can move around at will inside the paint. He should have his way with the Bulldogs if he can stay out of foul trouble.

Hannes Steinbach, Washington ($8.5K)

A couple of the slate-breakers I mentioned last night ended up not playing, so make sure you monitor the status of Steinbach. He has missed the last three games with an ankle injury, but did practice yesterday. There's a chance he gets back in there.

The freshman has been outstanding for Washington so far. He has three straight double-doubles and has been a force at the rim.

Stack Options

Stack the freshmen guards - Louisville vs. Arkansas ($22.4K)

Meleek Thomas and Darius Acuff Jr. have been a great freshman guard duo for the Hogs so far. Run this duo back with Louisville freshman guard Mikel Brown Jr.

Brown has the highest upside of the three, but this is going to be a guard-oriented track meet. Thomas is the best shooter of the three. Acuff is a great passer who can also create his own shot. Brown is a hybrid of the two Arkansas guards.

I like the feel of a stack here to combat those that anchor lineups with Conwell. Conwell is much higher priced, and all three freshmen could outscore him. Conwell is a sure commodity.

Clemson vs. Alabama 

Alabama, like every other Nate Oats team, is not much of a defensive squad. Alabama just scores enough points to mask it most of the time. We don't care about wins or losses. We're just here for the guys who will produce in our DFS lineups.

Basketball, unlike football and hockey, isn't always great to stack all five starters. There are exceptions, but it usually will not maximize your output. Tonight may be one of those exceptions.

Clemson is a well-rounded team, getting production from 6-8 players per game. The good news is that the Tigers are fairly priced. Hunter and Jestin Porter are two consistent guards, and will only put us out $9K for the pair. That's cheap!

Clesmon's money makers are up front, which is where Alabama is weakest. Carter Welling and RJ Godfrey could both be in for huge nights. The four pieces of Clemson will only cost a combined $21.8K. We can afford a couple of core pieces with this stack.

In a game like this that promises to be high-scoring, it's always a good idea to run at least one player back from the other team. Since the Clemson stack is so cheap, we can afford both Alabama stars. Labaron Philon Jr. and Aden Holloway are a combined $15.5K

With this game stack, that's $37.3K on six of the eight lineup spots. That leaves $12.7K to fill one forward and one utility slot.
