CBB DFS: DraftKings Daily Fantasy College Basketball Picks - Today's Top Lineups (12/12/24)

Tamin Lipsey - College Basketball Rankings, NCAA CBB DFS Lineup Picks

Today's DraftKings CBB DFS lineup picks for 12/12/24. Mike M's top daily fantasy college basketball sleepers to build winning NCAA DFS lineups on DraftKings.

It's a light night in the college game. We only have two games on tap, but they are a couple of really good ones! Well...at least one of them is. The jury is out on the other.

We start in Iowa City for the CyHawk on the hardcourt. Iowa State goes for the sweep in football and basketball. We finish in Austin with New Mexico State visiting.

This article will provide you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks on DraftKings on 12/12/24, starting at 7:30 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

Keshon Gilbert, Iowa State ($7.5K)

Gilbert has been remarkably consistent this year, posting at least 25 DraftKings points in every game. His ceiling is about 40, but we know what we're getting with Gilbert. Something can be said for that on a small slate.

Tamin Lipsey, Iowa State ($6K) 

Lipsey is shooting less this year with Gilbert's offensive output, but he's still one of the best defensive guards in the country. He has a good floor because of the steals, but it's hard to rely on him when he's averaging four points less per game this season.

Tramon Mark, Texas ($5.5K)

The Longhorns are still trying to figure out the best way to incorporate their new toy, but Mark is finally starting to pick it up. UConn slowed him down, but New Mexico State won't be able to. Mark should start his third straight game and should have a game like what he had against Delaware State.

Also consider: Curtis Jones, Iowa State ($7.4K); Josh Dix, Iowa ($6.4K); Jordan Pope, Texas ($4.7K)

Today's DraftKings Forwards - CBB DFS Lineup Picks

Arthur Kaluma, Texas ($9K)

Kaluma was a walking double-double at Creighton a couple of years ago. He had mixed results last year at Kansas State, but he's back near his Creighton numbers in Austin this year. He posted 20 points and nine rebounds against Connecticut. He should be in for another strong game here.

Robert Carpenter, New Mexico State ($6.8K)

Carpenter is the best player the Aggies have. His rebounding numbers will likely struggle against the size of Texas, but Carpenter is a strong enough scorer to lead the way for the Aggies again. Just expect 30 as his ceiling instead of 40.

Dishon Jackson, Iowa State ($5.9K)

The Cyclones rotate the pieces of the frontcourt frequently, so they always have a high-energy board eater and a defensive nightmare for opposing teams. Fortunately for us, all of them are fairly affordable for DFS purposes. Jackson usually plays a few more minutes than the rest, but with these guys, the minutes don't matter much. They all produce.

Also consider: Owen Freeman, Iowa ($7.3K); Joshua Jefferson, Iowa State ($6.5K); Milan Momcilovic, Iowa State ($5.4K)
