Today's DraftKings CBB DFS lineup picks for 3/4/24. Mike's top daily fantasy college basketball sleepers to build winning NCAA DFS lineups on DraftKings.
All that we have on our Monday slate is the ESPN Big Monday games. Hey, I'm not complaining. Any slate is better than no slate at all. Since it is the Big Monday games, we know that it is some quality competition. So grab your favorite six-pack and park on the couch with ESPN on and you can follow this entire slate all in one spot. Something can be said for that as well.
We start this off in Raleigh with Duke in town and you know the Crazies are going to take this show on the road. We end this at the basketball palace known as Foster Pavillion in Waco with the Longhorns making the trek up I-35 from Austin. Talk about two quality games!
This article will provide you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks on DraftKings on 3/4/24, 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
DJ Horne, North Carolina State ($7.4K)
As with most big-time scorers, Horne puts up a lot of shots. That keeps the floor high no matter the matchup. He doesn't get to the foul line a lot, so if his shot isn't falling, he can really hurt a lineup. That said, Horne has at least 30 DraftKings points in six of the last eight games. That's a strong return in this price range.
Ja'Kobe Walter, Baylor ($6.7K)
RayJ Dennis gets most of the attention, but Walter is the more consistent player. He has scored in double figures in each of the last seven games. Two of those were against Kansas. He also played Oklahoma and Houston in that span, so it's not a fluke. Walter went nuts on Texas in the meeting in Austin. He put up 22 points and 37.75 DraftKings points. Walter is the Baylor guard I want.
Chendall Weaver, Texas ($5.5K)
Most of what Weaver does for Texas isn't measured on a stat sheet, so he can put up underwhelming totals at times. He's a high-energy player who isn't the most talented guy on the court, but he's not going to get out-hustled. He has scored 31 points over the last two games, so that is something to watch. Weaver has only averaged six points per game this year. Texas played Baylor the game before Weaver joined the starting five, so we don't have an accurate barometer. If this scoring burst is a new trend though, Weaver is too cheap.
Also consider: RayJ Dennis, Baylor ($7.8K); Jeremy Roach, Duke ($6.8K); Tyrese Proctor, Duke ($6K); Ithiel Horton, Texas ($3.9K)

Today's DraftKings Forwards - CBB DFS Lineup Picks
Kyle Filipowski, Duke ($7.9K)
Kyle Filipowski’s throwing down windmills just a week after nearly getting killed during a court storm

— Barstool Sports (@barstoolsports) March 3, 2024
Filipowski's knee hasn't been an issue. He put up 70.75 DraftKings points in blowout wins over Louisville in Virginia. That's why he only played 59 minutes total in those games. The knee is fine. The Wolfpack have some size up front, but no one who can knock Filipowski off his spots. He's the lock of the slate in cash or GPP games.
Yves Missi, Baylor ($6.4K)
As usual, we can forgive the clunker against Houston. The Cougars are DFS kryptonite. Only Oklahoma, Houston, and Iowa State have kept Missi below 25 DraftKings points since the beginning of February. His first meeting with Texas was plagued by foul trouble. The freshman couldn't figure out Dylan Disu. However, he has held his own with Hunter Dickinson twice since then. I think we'll see a more mature version of Missi tonight.
Brock Cunningham, Texas ($4.6K)
The Longhorns are loaded up front behind Disu, so the minutes are sometimes inconsistent. Cunningham has played 47 minutes over the last two games and put up 49 DraftKings points. Kadin Shedrick had the better game against Baylor the first time around, but most of that was because of Cunningham disappearing on offense. That hasn't been the norm lately. Both are good options, but I'll go with the more consistent minutes of Cunningham at a slight discount.
Also consider: Dylan Disu, Texas ($7.7K); Jalen Bridges, Baylor ($7.2K); Kadin Shedrick, Texas ($5K); Ben Middlebrooks, North Carolina State ($4.7K)
