CBB DFS: DraftKings Daily Fantasy College Basketball Picks - Today's Top Lineups (3/21/25)

Today's DraftKings CBB DFS lineup picks for 3/21/25. Mike M's top daily fantasy college basketball sleepers to build winning NCAA DFS lineups on DraftKings.

16 games down, one more massive 16-game slate to go! These first two games of the NCAA Tournament are what PTO was invented for. There wasn't a lot of chaos yesterday, but some of the smaller schools that lost still had good numbers in DFS.

We'll have some teams we aren't used to seeing in these DraftKings tournaments. Don't be afraid to use them, especially against evenly matched teams! That can be the difference between minimum cash and a takedown!

This article will provide you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks on DraftKings for 3/21/25, starting at 12:15 p.m. EDT. 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

Donovan Dent, New Mexico ($9.1K)

There's 2 players in the tournament that LOVE to get out and run...

New Mexico's Donovan Dent & Memphis' PJ Haggerty are in a league of their own when it comes to "Fast Break Points"! pic.twitter.com/YXmQNpdGJC

Dent has at least 30 DraftKings points in every game since January 14 and has at least 28 DK points in every game since December 28. Good luck slowing him down. Kam Jones may have a higher ceiling, but not enough to sacrifice some of the floor. I'll take a sure 30 with a shot at 50 instead of mid-50s with a low side in the low 20s.

Nique Clifford, Colorado State ($9K)

We all know about the Mountain West’s struggles in the NCAAT

But they’re off to a whole different level thus far, posting a 0-2 record with a 25, and 27 point defeat

The Mountain West hate was strong coming into this year's tournament. It's at a fever pitch now. We have two more double-digit Mountain West seeds and one of them is a favorite. Can the Mountain West finally put some of this to bed? With players like Dent and Clifford, I'm dumb enough to think it's possible.

Clifford's streak is as impressive as Dent's. He has at least 30 DK points in every game since January 14, but he has topped 48 DK points 10 times since. He's my favorite play on the slate. Memphis's defense doesn't scare me at all.

Kam Woods, Robert Morris ($8.2K)

Alabama is too busy running up and down the court to worry about defense. Woods averaged 15.1 points per game for the Colonials this year but has topped that mark in each of the last six games. He should again today and shouldn't be in too many lineups.

Kaden Metheny, Liberty ($5.7K)

The Flames shot 39% as a team from three-point range. It was Metheny who was raining them at the Conference USA Tournament. He made 16 of his 39 attempts in the three games of the tournament. The Flames are going to need Metheny's hot shooting again to beat Oregon.

Taelon Peter, Liberty ($5.2K)

Peter is one of the best shooters in the country. He has made 18 out of 27 three-point shots in the last six games. That's 67%! How is he this cheap?

Also consider: Kam Jones, Marquette ($9.2K); PJ Haggerty, Memphis ($8.9K); Caleb Love, Arizona ($8.5K); Tyon Grant-Foster, Grand Canyon ($7.8K); Jase Richardson, Michigan State ($7.6K); Elliot Cadeau, North Carolina ($5.8K); Hassan Diarra, Connecticut ($5.6K); Selton Miguel, Maryland ($5.3K); Chris Manon, Vanderbilt ($5K); Nate Heise, Iowa State ($4.8K); Tavari Johnson, Akron ($4.6K); Jayden Nunn, Baylor ($3.9K)

Today's DraftKings Forwards - CBB DFS Lineup Picks

Nate Bittle, Oregon ($9.3K)

Oregon senior Nate Bittle feels a bit under-appreciated nationally. The 7-footer is a legit defensive anchor despite some athletic limitations who has made serious strides as a shooter. This is his 34th made three this year after making 26 in his first three years combined. pic.twitter.com/bmIbculDuV

Bittle is the one player that is a matchup problem for Liberty. He has at least 30 DraftKings points in every game since February 8. He had a ceiling game against Washington in that span with 62 DK points. The Huskies are woefully undersized up front. So is Liberty, and this should be a high-scoring game.

Zach Cleveland, Liberty ($6.5K)

I don't get why the Liberty players are so cheap. Oregon's defense is good, but not that good. Cleveland is the one guy in the Liberty lineup who doesn't shoot threes, but he does everything else. He'll be the guy tangling with Bittle, which could result in some defense stats. Cleveland hasn't been under 24 DraftKings points since February 22.

Barry Evans, Bryant ($6K)

Bryant has played exactly one good team all season. It was St. John's and they lost control in the second half much the way that Omaha did last night. Evans had a huge game for the Bulldogs in that one with 34.25 DraftKings points.

The Spartans are similar to that St. John's team and Evans got better as the year went on. I love the potential for this price,

Dishon Jackson, Iowa State ($5K)

Jackson was huge down the stretch for the Cyclones. He scored 86 DraftKings points in the final three games of the season. Jackson hasn't been very consistent this year, but the team looked good with Jackson and Joshua Jefferson on the court together. They could employ that lineup more with Keshon Gilbert out.

Also consider: Norchad Omier, Baylor ($9.7K); Zach Freemantle, Xavier ($8.2K); Alvaro Folgueiras, Robert Morris ($7.8K); Will Riley, Illinois ($7.5K); KeShawn Murphy, Mississippi State ($6.7K); Malik Dia, Mississippi ($6.4K); Thomas Dowd, Troy ($6.2K); Khaman Maluach, Duke ($6K); Jalon Moore, Oklahoma ($5.8K); Moussa Cisse, Memphis ($5.5K); Keyshawn Mitchell, Bryant ($4.8K); Mohamed Wague, Oklahoma ($4K)
