Today's Main DraftKings CBB DFS lineup picks for 1/15/25. Mike M's top daily fantasy college basketball sleepers to build winning NCAA DFS lineups on DraftKings.
It's a little bit lighter of a night but not lighter regarding the quality of games on both the main and late slates. I'll break them both down for you, starting with the main slate at the normal time! We open in Chapel Hill with Cal invading the Dean Dome. NC State is in Blacksburg to take on the Hokies. Kansas heads up to Ames for some Hilton Magic. Seton Hall is in Indy to face Butler.
Next up is Penn State in East Lansing, which will face Sparty. Utah is in Fort Worth to face the Toadies. West Virginia heads to Houston to face the Cougars. We close this one out in Rocky Top with Georgia facing Tennessee.
This article will provide you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks on DraftKings on 1/15/25, starting at 7 p.m. EST. 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
Andrej Stojakovic, California ($8.4K)
Have loved the sophomore campaign of Andrej Stojakovic at Cal.
Averaging 20.1 PTS on the season with eight games of 20+, four games of 25+, and two 30 point games. Finishing 64.2% at the rim in the half court, 37% from three, and 83% from the line on 7.1 FTA per game.

Stojakovic has enjoyed a marked improvement in his shooting this year. It took his dad a few years to perfect his craft as well. Stojakovic doesn't do a lot aside from scoring, but he scores consistently. He has at least 30 DraftKings points in five of the last six, seven of the last nine, and 11 of the last 14 games. He hasn't gone under 25 in that span. He's a reliable option near the top of the price mountain.
Ian Jackson, North Carolina ($8.1K)
It's no coincidence that North Carolina has won five of the last six games. That's when Jackson entered the starting lineup. Jackson has scored at least 18 points in all six starts and has at least 28 DraftKings points in every game. The top options at guard tonight rely on consistency. Stojakovic does have a slightly higher ceiling.
Isaiah Coleman, Seton Hall ($7.9K)
Coleman has been the missing (scoring) link for the Hall. His scoring keeps the Pirates close, and eventually, they will start winning more of these. Coleman is by far the best pure scorer on the team and the only DFS option. If he keeps getting 15-20 shots per game, he may never go under 30 DK points again (he hasn't since the loss to NJIT on December 4).
Tamin Lipsey, Iowa State ($5.9K)
Lipsey is arguably the best defensive guard in the country. His scoring is inconsistent and he's not a great rebounder, but the defensive stats make him a compelling value play in this price range. Any time Lipsey is below $6K, I jump back in.
Shakeel Moore, Kansas ($4.2K)
Moore has 53 DraftKings points over his three starts this season. That's a solid total for a value play. His minutes have increased every start, so he's getting more chances. I don't like the matchup, but if Moore plays close to 30 minutes again, he'll hit value anyway.
Also consider: Javon Small, West Virginia ($10.5K); Curtis Jones, Iowa State ($8K); Marcus Hill, North Carolina State ($7K); Noah Reynolds, TCU ($6.6K); Dontrez Styles, North Carolina State ($6K); Jayden Taylor, North Carolina State ($5.5K); Jordan Gainey, Tennessee ($5K); DeJuan Campbell, California ($4.7K)

Today's DraftKings Forwards - CBB DFS Lineup Picks
Hunter Dickinson, Kansas ($9.8K)
Hunter Dickinson scored 14 points and grabbed 12 rebounds for his eighth double-double of the season. as No. 11 @KUHoops pulled away from Cincinnati for a 54-40 victory on Saturday.

— KAKE News (@KAKEnews) January 11, 2025
I will likely be paying up at guard and going cheap at forward, but that's a reason to use Dickinson. He draws a tough matchup tonight, but he's the only big man with a realistic shot at 40 DraftKings points tonight. It's that tough at the top. Dickinson is a leverage play with most spending big on guards.
Jaxon Kohler, Michigan State ($6.6K)
If Kohler becomes more aggressive on offense, he can break a slate. He's a sneaky-good passer, strong on the boards, and very efficient with his shots. That kind of selectiveness helps the Spartans, but not necessarily DFS players. Just keep in mind that we're using Kohler for peripherals. Anything else is just a bonus.
KJ Adams, Kansas ($5.8K)
Adams has 20 or more DraftKings points seven times this season. Four of those have come in the last five games. Adams is more valuable to the Jayhawks than what the stat sheet shows, but his tenacity on the boards over the last three games has been arguably the best run of his career. Now, about that scoring...
Prince Aligbe, Seton Hall ($5.2K)
I don't know what took the Pirates so long to give Aligbe another look in the starting lineup. He didn't fare well the first time around, but this time he has 61.25 DraftKings points in 61 minutes in the two games since rejoining the starting five. He's a huge bargain at this price.
Jake Wahlin, Utah ($4.2K)
Wahlin is another guy who is getting another look as a starter. He made his first start since November 22 over the weekend and put up 29 DraftKings points in 28 minutes on Oklahoma State. He should get another crack at it tonight.
Also consider: Joshua Jefferson, Iowa State ($9.2K); Zach Hicks, Penn State ($6.8K); Ben Middlebrooks, North Carolina State ($6.3K); Eduardo Andre, West Virginia ($5.6K); Scotty Middleton, Seton Hall ($5.4K); Felix Okpara, Tennessee ($5.1K); Ven-Allen Lubin, North Carolina ($4.4K); Joshua Ola-Joseph, California ($4.1K)
