CBB DFS: DraftKings Daily Fantasy College Basketball Picks - Today's Top Lineups (4/3/25)

Central Florida Knights - UCF, NCAA College Team Logo Stock

Today's DraftKings CBB DFS lineup picks for 4/3/25. Mike M's top daily fantasy college basketball sleepers to build winning NCAA DFS lineups on DraftKings.

We're back with the semifinals from the other side of the Crown Tournament bracket, but we also have the NIT Championship tonight between Chattanooga and UC Irvine. With three good matchups, we must pick the few spots that stand out.

We had a good lineup last night with the Georgetown value and Boise State high-end players. We don't have anything near the value on this slate, which makes it a little more tricky.

This article will provide you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks on DraftKings for 4/3/25, starting at 7 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.

Be sure to check all of our fantasy football rankings for 2025:

 

Today's DraftKings Guards - CBB DFS Lineup Picks

Darius Johnson, Central Florida ($9.8K)

Johnson's streak of seven straight 20+ point games came to a close against Oregon State on Tuesday, thanks to a painful 4-of-16 performance from the field. Johnson still managed 29 DraftKings points in that game, so it wasn't a total loss. He picked up 34.75 DK points in the game against Cincinnati earlier this year with a healthy Keyshawn Hall. There is potential here.

Day Day Thomas, Cincinnati ($8K)

Thomas had his best game of the season against DePaul in the first game of the Crown Tournament. Thomas hit 40.75 DraftKings points in that one. His second-best game of the season was against Central Florida back on February 5. Chances are he will do it to UCF again.

Tyler Hendricks, Central Florida ($4.8K)

Hendricks has entered the transfer portal, but he has elected to use the Crown Tournament as a way to showcase his talents to potential suitors after not seeing much time during the regular season. With Keyshawn Hall sitting out, Hendricks played 31 minutes against Oregon State, putting up 38 DraftKings points. Lock him in again!

Also consider: Wooga Poplar, Villanova ($9.3K); Trey Bonham, Chattanooga ($8.5K); Desmond Claude, USC ($7.4K); Justin Hohn, UC Irvine ($7.2K); Jordan Ivy-Curry, Central Florida ($5.4K); Tyler Perkins, Villanova ($4.6K); Dallan Coleman, Central Florida ($3.7K); Clark Slajchert, USC ($3.3K)

Today's DraftKings Forwards - CBB DFS Lineup Picks

Bent Leuchten, UC Irvine ($8.3K)

The "German Giant" is fourth in the NCAA in double-doubles this season. He's looking to close his collegiate career with an NIT title. Leuchten came up one rebound short of his 20th double-double against North Texas. He should end with No. 20 against Chattanooga tonight.

Moustapha Thiam, Central Florida ($7.4K)

UCF is ravaged by transfers, but the super freshman is sticking around. Thiam has at least 24 DraftKings points in the last 18 games of the season. He survived a rough start to his freshman year and finished strong. He's not done yet, and he only seems to be getting better. Thiam put up 30.5 DK points in the first meeting with the Bearcats.

Aziz Bandaogo, Cincinnati ($5.8K)

I know ... it feels like I'm game-stacking UCF and Cincinnati. That game was a DFS gold mine during the regular season (176 combined points), and most of the players are priced competitively. Bandaogo's 31.5 DraftKings points against UCF was his second-best total of the season. He scored 32 DK points in the opener against Arkansas Pine Bluff.

Also consider: Eric Dixon, Villanova ($8.9K);  Rashaun Agee, USC ($8.2K); Enoch Boakye, Villanova ($4.7K); Matt Knowling, USC ($3.8K)
