Today's DraftKings CBB DFS lineup picks for 11/11/24. Mike's top daily fantasy college basketball sleepers to build winning NCAA DFS lineups on DraftKings.
We have 11 games on the 11th day of the 11th month. It seems as good a time as any to get our college basketball DFS articles rolling again! The early window features McNeese State against Alabama. This is not the same McNeese team that made the NCAA Tournament last year. Winthrop heads to Blacksburg to take on the Hokies. St. Peter's is in Piscataway to face Rutgers. Florida hosts Grambling for the final game in the early window.
The UMKC Roos head up to Ames for a dose of Hilton Magic. Yale is in Indiana to face a different-looking Purdue team. UNC-Greensboro is in Dallas to take on SMU. Lamar heads to College Station to face the Aggies. Central Michigan heads over to Milwaukee to take on Marquette. Mercer is in Chicago to take on DePaul. We finish out west with the Boston Terriers taking on UCLA.
This article will provide you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks on DraftKings on 11/11/24, starting at 7 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
Braden Smith, Purdue ($9.4K)
Braden Smith is just a tremendous talent. Has become the Quarterback who sees every pressure and can check into anything he wants. You can drop, trap, hedge, go over or just pray. 3 is going to win the battle. He’s in for an historic season. #ChaseChats ?️ #Purdue ? pic.twitter.com/CHygL2N8oe

The 2024-25 season is a couple of friendlies and one game into the post-Zach Edey era. Purdue is a different team trying to find its way. They aren't going to blow anyone out early, which means Smith is going to be out there making plays for 35 minutes or more.
He can put up a lot of stats in those minutes. Smith posted 12 points, eight rebounds, and 15 assists in the first game against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. Yale is a slower-paced team, but expect Smith and Purdue to try and run the Bulldogs a little. The stats will be there.
Dylan Harper, Rutgers ($8.1K)
They say Dylan may be the best player in the Harper family, which is saying something considering his dad was a first-round NBA pick, played 16 NBA seasons, and won five NBA titles. That's a heavy load for a freshman to carry.
Harper was solid in his first collegiate game, putting together 20 points, four assists, three rebounds, and three steals. He did commit four turnovers, but it was his first game. That's a good start for Harper. He is in a similarly good spot tonight.
Zhuric Phelps, Texas A&M ($6.7K)
Phelps packed his bags and headed south at the end of last season. After two productive seasons at SMU, Phelps scored 18 points, picked up five rebounds, three steals, and an assist for good measure in just 18 minutes in his Aggies debut. With Wade Taylor IV still struggling with his shot, Phelps raced up points in a hurry. He should again tonight.
Ahmad Robinson, Mercer ($3.6K)
The New Hampshire transfer put up 11 points, seven rebounds, five assists, and three steals in his Mercer debut in just 21 minutes. The Bears got an easy win, but it was clear to see that Robinson was the best all-around player on the team. DePaul is better than last year, but that's not saying much. Mercer should hang around, maximizing Robinson's potential.
Also consider: Mark Sears, Alabama ($9.2K); Kam Jones, Marquette ($9K); Kevin Miller, SMU ($8.2K); Tamin Lipsey, Iowa State ($7.8K); Jacob Meyer, DePaul ($7.3K); John Poulakidas, Yale ($6.3K); Chase Ross, Marquette ($6.2K); Bez Mbeng, Yale ($6K); Brandon Rechsteiner, Virginia Tech ($5.5K); Ryan Jolly, Winthrop ($4K); Alexis Marmolejos, Lamar ($3.9K)

Today's DraftKings Forwards - CBB DFS Lineup Picks
Tyler Bilodeau, UCLA ($8.6K)

The Oregon State transfer exploded for the Bruins last game. Look for UCLA to continue feeding Bilodeau, especially against overmatched teams. Boston isn't blessed with a player who can guard Bilodeau. If this game stays close, he could nuke the slate.
David Joplin, Marquette ($7.4K)
Kam Jones has picked up a lot of the slack from Tyler Kolek going to the NBA, but Joplin's increased scoring through two games can't be ignored. The senior has 40 points to go with his 17 rebounds in two games. Joplin is in for another big game against Central Michigan tonight.
Mylyjael Poteat, Virginia Tech ($6.1K)
Poteat's numbers are about the same as those of Toibu Lawal, but Poteat comes at a significant discount. Poteat was a strong bench player last year, but he has been more involved in the early games of this campaign. The Hokie frontcourt is going to be a problem for most opponents. I'm paying down for Poteat so long as the production is similar.
Lathan Sommerville, Rutgers ($5.5K)
The other heralded freshman for Rutgers has also dazzled in the early going. Sommerville picked up 11 points and eight rebounds in 27 minutes in his debut. The return of Ace Bailey could alter the frontcourt minutes a bit, but it should eat more into Zach Martini's time than Sommerville's.
Also consider: Toibu Lawal, Virginia Tech ($7.7K); Clifford Omoruyi, Alabama ($7.2K); K.J. Doucet, Winthrop ($6.9K); Trey Kaufman-Renn, Purdue ($6.2K); Keon Ambrose-Hylton, SMU ($5K); Yohan Traore, SMU ($4.5K)
