We have a lighter game load on Friday, but it's not light on talent! We have some Big East, A-10, Big Ten, and close out with some Mountain West action. We have a nice little slate to choose from with a few big stars on it. Who should we build around? Stick around and we'll break it down!
We begin in Cincinnati with Georgetown taking on Xavier. Next up is St. Louis in Richmond to take on VCU. Next is Indiana in Madison to take on the Badgers. We close this out in Fort Collins with UNLV taking on Colorado State. Two of the eight teams in action are Rams. What could possibly go wrong?
In this article, I will provide you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 1/19/24, starting at 6:30 p.m. Eastern. I’ll provide multiple player suggestions at guard and forward, aiming to highlight one option at the high, middle, and lower levels of the salary scale. Good luck, RotoBallers.

Today's DraftKings Guards - CBB DFS Lineup Picks
Quincy Olivari, Xavier ($8,100)
Aside from a foul-plagued brick-laying contest against Providence last weekend, Olivari has been running hot. He has at least 30 DraftKings points in four of the last five games other than the Providence tilt. This matchup with Georgetown is a very friendly one. Olivari is a good scorer, but his work on the glass is great for a guard and he'll pick up a few steals, too.
Trey Galloway, Indiana ($6,600)
Galloway has looked good running the offense over the last couple of weeks. He has at least five assists in four straight games and scored in double figures in the last two games. A big part of the scoring surge is Galloway's 5-for-10 shooting from three-point land in those two games. He has struggled from distance this season, but if he keeps shooting like this, another 30+ DraftKings point game is all but certain.
Sincere Parker, St. Louis ($5,100)
The Billikens are easing Parker back into action. He missed nearly two months with an ankle injury before playing just three minutes against St. Joseph's last weekend. Parker tallied 16 minutes against Dayton this week and looked good. He had nine points and five rebounds while taking 11 shots. That's a great volume in 19 minutes. Parker's minutes should be around 20-25 again tonight. He can do a lot of damage in that time, even if he still isn't up to his usual 30 minutes.
Joe Bamisile, Virginia Commonwealth ($3,600)
The Oklahoma transfer didn't make his debut until December 16, but he has shown the ability to pile up points in a hurry off the bench. Bamisile has struggled lately, so his minutes have dwindled a bit. However, we need to get different on a four-game slate in large-field GPPs. Bamisile has scored in double figures in four of his seven games for the Rams.
Also consider: Luis Rodriguez, UNLV ($8,000); Nique Clifford, Colorado State ($7,600); Gibson Jimerson, St. Louis ($6,500); Max Klesmit, Wisconsin ($5,400); Jay Heath, Georgetown ($5,000); Josiah Strong, Colorado State ($4,800)

Today's DraftKings Forwards - CBB DFS Lineup Picks
Steven Crowl, Wisconsin ($7,500)
The Wisconsin scoring renaissance (70 points in 11 consecutive games) has made its way to Crowl as well. He put up 17 points in the loss to Penn State. Unlike the Wisconsin guards, Crowl isn't always heavily involved in the offense. The scoring is nice, but we're using him for his work on the boards, underrated passing skills, and rim protection. He has a higher floor than most Wisconsin players, but this is still a guard-dominated team, which caps the upside.
Bradley Ezewiro, St. Louis ($6,400)
Ezewiro had his problems with DaRon Holmes II against Dayton earlier this week, but he's not the only one. We'll give him a pass on that one. Before that game, Ezewiro had at least 24 DraftKings points in all seven games he had played in. Ezewiro failed to make an impact first at LSU, then at Georgetown. He has been a force for the Billikens this year and should continue to be against an undersized VCU team tonight.
Rob Whaley Jr., UNLV ($5,500)
Whaley played sparingly early in the season, but he has turned into a good scorer for the Rebels. He has 29 points and 14 rebounds in 52 minutes off the bench in the last two games. He is unquestionably the sixth man for UNLV right now. His 18 points against Boise State led the team in scoring. As long as Whaley has the hot hand, the minutes will be there.
Kuany Kuany, Virginia Commonwealth ($4,100)
The Cal transfer lost his starting job right before Christmas, but has been just as effective and played about the same number of minutes off the bench. Kuany is a solid scorer but isn't always assertive on offense. He's a solid defender and solid rebounder, which makes his production...solid. There's no upside here, but Kuany shouldn't torpedo your lineup either.
Also consider: Kel'el Ware, Indiana ($7,900); Supreme Cook, Georgetown ($6,700); Joel Scott, Colorado State ($6,100); Gytis Nemeiksa, Xavier ($5,800); Mackenzie Mgbako, Indiana ($5,700); Toibu Lawal, Virginia Commonwealth ($5,100); Drew Fielder, Georgetown ($4,200)
