Today's DraftKings CBB DFS lineup picks for 3/1/24. Mike's top daily fantasy college basketball sleepers to build winning NCAA DFS lineups on DraftKings.
Ah...March. The time when college basketball provides us with the greatest four consecutive days of any sport in any country on any planet in any universe. We have a little bit before we get there. We begin March like a lamb with four games tonight. Two of them are from mid-majors to get us primed for conference tournament season.
We open up in Poughkeepsie with Fairfield in town to face Marist. Dayton heads to Chicago to take on the Ramblers. Fresno is in Reno for a meeting with the Pack. We finish up in Logan with Air Force in town to face Utah State.
This article will provide you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks on DraftKings on 3/1/24, 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
Great Osobor, Utah State ($9.3K)
It's kind of ridiculous that Osobor is eligible at guard, but position scarcity isn't a thing in college basketball DFS. Still, forward is loaded tonight on a four-game slate, so I'll take this opportunity to highlight one of the best players on the slate. Osobor carries the Aggies -- he has at least 40 DraftKings points in three straight and has only been held under 30 once in the last 17 games. He put up 51.25 DraftKings points in the first meeting with Air Force on January 2. I wouldn't be surprised if he hit 50 again since he did it in the first meeting in 33 minutes.
Caleb Fields, Fairfield ($7.1K)
Fields had his best game of the season in the first meeting with Marist, putting up 51.75 DraftKings points. Fields hasn't been under 20 DraftKings points since December 17 and has topped 25 in eight of the last nine games. He may not hit the ceiling of 50 again, but Fields isn't priced like it either. He seems like a lock for 30. I'll take that for this price.
Daniel Foster, Nevada ($5K)
Kenan Blackshear was seen on the sideline in a walking boot on Tuesday. It seems unlikely that he would play tonight against a struggling Fresno team. That would mean another start for Foster, who filled in nicely on Tuesday. Foster had 13 points, three rebounds, two assists, two steals, and a block against a good Colorado State team in 27 minutes. If Foster starts, he is a must-play tonight.
Also consider: Darius Brown II, Utah State ($8.2K); Jarod Lucas, Nevada ($7.2K); Desmond Watson, Loyola-Chicago ($6.4K); Enoch Cheeks, Dayton ($6.1K); Koby Brea, Dayton ($5.6K); Brycen Goodine, Fairfield ($5.1K); Hunter McIntosh, Nevada ($4.6K)

Today's DraftKings Forwards - CBB DFS Lineup Picks
DaRon Holmes II, Dayton ($9.5K)
This isn't a great matchup for Holmes, but I'm not sure it matters. He has at least 35 DraftKings points in five straight, seven of the last eight, and 12 of the last 14 games. The only things that slowed him down were a blowout and a foul-plagued 26-minute outing against Richmond. That's it. Remember how good Obi Toppin was for Dayton in the canceled 2019-20 COVID-19 season? Holmes might be better.
I hope teams do not overthink Daron Holmes, even in the NBA there aren’t enough bigs that are this gifted offensively

Leo Colimerio, Fresno State ($6.2K)
Enoch Boakye last played just one minute on Valentine's Day and has been out with an undisclosed injury since. No one knows what is wrong with him, but Colimerio has been a capable fill-in. He has averaged 13.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.3 blocks, and 0.8 steals as a starter. His price has risen to the point where we have to think about it a little more, but he should still do well enough to pay it off tonight.
Peyton Smith, Fairfield ($3.4K)
Smith suffered a sprained ankle against Iona on February 2 and was expected to be out "multiple weeks." He made his return against Niagara just two weeks later. Fairfield has played him off the bench since and limited his minutes, but he played 13 minutes against Siena last weekend and put up 10.25 DraftKings points. Smith will likely continue to play off the bench until the conference tournament, but he is getting enough minutes now to make a difference.
Also consider: Rytis Petraitis, Air Force ($8.3K); Tre Coleman, Nevada ($7.2K); Max Allen II, Marist ($5.2K); Kalifa Sakho, Utah State ($3.7K)
