It may be Super Bowl Sunday, but college basketball has graced us with the largest Sunday slate of the season so far. Don't worry, all of these games take place long before the kickoff of the Super Bowl. We don't need more hours upon hours of boring pregame crap. Let's enjoy this big college basketball slate!
We start in Philly with Villanova hosting Seton Hall. Florida Atlantic heads to Wichita to take on the Shockers. Penn State is in Evanston to take on Northwestern. Tulane is in Memphis to take on the Little Pennys. North Texas heads down to Dallas for a metroplex tilt with SMU. UAB is in Tulsa to take on the Dust Devils. We close this out in Iowa City with the Hawkeyes hosting Minnesota.
This article will provide you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 2/11/24, starting at noon 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
Boo Buie, Northwestern ($8,900)
Buie has at least 35 DraftKings points in five straight games an he has topped 30 in nine of the last 10 games. One of those was the first meeting against Penn State in which Buie put up 36.75 DraftKings points. Buie's floor is the highest on this slate. He plays a ton of minutes, so the coveted upside is there as well. He has at least 45 DraftKings points in three of the last five games.
Eric Gaines, UAB ($7,500)
Gaines has at least 30 DraftKings points in three of the last four games. He is stacking stats across the board lately, scoring in double figures in five of the last six games along with 41 assists, 27 rebounds, 12 steals, and five blocks. Yes, that's in just six games. Gaines is everywhere on the court for the Blazers and shines on both ends. Gaines gives us a high floor in the mid-range and can clear 40 DraftKings points. He's a strong play in any format.
Efrem Johnson, UAB ($5,500)
Johnson isn't the all-around force that Gaines is, but he is a better scorer. Johnson has 64 points over the last four games with nine rebounds, six assists, three blocks, and a steal. That makes Johnson a bit of a risk if his shot isn't falling, but he put up those numbers against four of the best defenses in the American; Florida Atlantic, North Texas, SMU, and Memphis. I'll trust him against Tulsa.
Rondel Walker, North Texas ($4,900)
Walker holds a place in my lineups whenever North Texas is on the slate. He plays a lot of minutes and hardly ever scores. In fact, Walker has been held scoreless in two of the last four games for the Mean Green despite playing at least 30 minutes in each game. Walker has scored just 16 points in the last six games combined, but he still has averaged 18 DraftKings points per game. Walker is a force on the boards (36 rebounds in the last four games) and is strong on the defensive end. He puts up consistent numbers for a value play.
Also consider: Johnell Davis, Florida Atlantic ($8,800); Ace Baldwin Jr., Penn State ($8,400); Brooks Barnhizer, Northwestern ($8,100); Sion James, Tulane ($7,400); PJ Haggerty, Tulsa ($7,100); Cobe Williams, Tulsa ($6,500); Alejandro Vasquez, UAB ($5,700); D'Marco Dunn, Penn State ($5,300); Xavier Bell, Wichita State ($5,000); Ricardo Wright, SMU ($4,400); Brendan Hausen, Villanova ($3,900)

Today's DraftKings Forwards - CBB DFS Lineup Picks
David Jones, Memphis ($9,300)
Buie may have the highest floor on the slate, but Jones easily has the highest ceiling. He has at least 50 DraftKings points in three of the last five games as he continues to dominate American frontcourts. One of those 50+ point outbursts was against Tulane on January 21 when Jones went for 32 points, 11 rebounds, a block, and a steal. There's no reason he can't do that again.
Yaxel Lendeborg, UAB ($8,200)
Lendeborg has 174.5 DraftKings points in the last four games after a disaster against Charlotte. He topped 50 in two of those games and picked up a staggering 21 rebounds against Florida Atlantic while playing all 45 minutes of the overtime loss. Lendeborg's ceiling is every bit as high as the one on David Jones, but the floor is much lower if he has an off night or gets into foul trouble.
Collin Holloway, Tulane ($5,800)
Holloway is so consistent that he is almost boring. He has at least 20 DraftKings points in every game since the loss to George Mason on December 22. He has scored in double figures in all but one of those games. Holloway's ceiling isn't all that high, but I can always make room for a guy this consistent, especially in this price range.
Patrick McCaffery, Iowa ($4,300)
McCaffery was a consistent scorer off the Iowa bench until an ankle injury sidelined him for nearly two weeks in January. He still seems to be on a minutes limit, but McCaffery's shooting touch is back. He has scored 21 points in the last two games in 37 minutes of court time. He can easily hit value at this price if he's going to play 20 minutes. The ceiling is higher if he plays closer to 25 minutes.
Also consider: Kevin Cross, Tulane ($9,000); Dre Davis, Seton Hall ($7,800); Samuell Williamson, SMU ($7,000); Qudus Wahab, Penn State ($6,600); Vladislav Goldin, Florida Atlantic ($6,400); Kenny Pohto, Wichita State ($5,300); Carlous Williams, Tulsa ($4,800); Parker Fox, Minnesota ($4,500)
