We have another monster Saturday across the DraftKings platform with at least 10 games on every slate. That makes for a fun day of DFS! The day begins with the 12-game main slate covering all of the games from noon to 3:30 p.m. start times. We've got some good ones in here. The nooners have UConn down in D.C. to take on Georgetown. Alabama heads to Red Stick to take on LSU. Wisconsin is in Jersey to take on Rutgers. Clemson heads up to the Loud House for an Orange battle.
The afternoon starts in Cincinnati with Creighton in town to face Xavier. Vanderbilt heads to Columbia to take on the Gamecocks. Illinois heads to East Lansing to take on Sparty. Providence is in Indy to take on Butler. TCU heads to Ames to face some of that Hilton magic. Boston College is Cameron Indoor to face Duke. West Virginia heads to Austin to take on Texas. We end in Gainesville with Auburn trying to avoid being Gator bait.
This article will provide you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 2/10/24, starting at noon 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
Devin Carter, Providence ($9,400)
Carter has taken over as the leader of this team since Bryce Perkins went down. He has only been under 35 DraftKings points once since conference play began. Villanova was the team that held him under, and he still cleared 30. Carter has the kind of floor we need from a pay-up spot. He put up an astonishing 63.75 DraftKings points this week against Creighton, so it's not like his ceiling is lacking either. Carter is good to deploy in any format. In the first meeting with Butler, Carter played all 40 minutes and put up 43.25 DraftKings points.
Mark Sears, Alabama ($8,800)
Sears has scored at least 20 points in six straight games, one of which was against LSU on January 27. He doesn't have quite the ceiling that Carter does, but Sears is every bit the scorer. Statistically, this is also a better matchup for Sears, though the 33.25 DraftKings points in the first meeting was his lowest total since the Tennessee game on January 20. That's a great floor at any price.
DJ Davis, Butler ($7,000)
Davis is on a roll right now for the streaking Bulldogs. He has at least 30 DraftKings points in five straight games after not hitting 30 in the prior three games combined. That's a distant memory now. Butler's only loss in that stretch is to top-ranked Connecticut. Yes, he still topped 30 in that game. Davis is underpriced for the numbers he's putting up in the last fortnight.
J.J. Starling, Syracuse ($6,200)
Meet the new boss (Starling). Same as the old boss (Joseph Girard III). Starling can fill up the stat sheet from deep just like Girard did last year for the Orange and is doing this year for a different shade of Orange. It's Girard's return to the Loud House and we might be treated to a three-point shooting contest between the new and the old boss. The new boss is marginally cheaper and more consistent. The old boss has a higher ceiling and a lower floor. Who's the boss?
Corey Floyd Jr., Providence ($4,300)
Floyd didn't start against Creighton this week, but he still played a season-high 37 minutes. Floyd's production has been all over the place this year, but he scored in double figures against Creighton for the first time since December 10 against Brown. Floyd is cheap enough to take a flier on in GPP formats. His playing time and production are inconsistent, but his scoring on Wednesday should give him a little longer leash today.
Also consider: Trey Alexander, Creighton ($9,300); Cam Spencer, Connecticut ($8,200); Tamin Lipsey, Iowa State ($7,600); Keshon Gilbert, Iowa State ($7,300); Ta'Lon Cooper, South Carolina ($6,700); Trevian Tennyson, TCU ($6,400); Chad Baker-Mazara, Auburn ($6,100); Tre Donaldson, Auburn ($5,700); Jeremiah Williams, Rutgers ($5,500); Justin Harmon, Illinois ($4,500); Connor Essegian, Wisconsin ($3,100)

Today's DraftKings Forwards - CBB DFS Lineup Picks
Johni Broome, Auburn ($9,500)
I wish Broome were playing Alabama again. In two games against the Tide this year, Broome posted 105.25 DraftKings points. Broome has at least 42 DraftKings points in four of the last five games and five of the last seven. The only teams to keep him under that mark were the Mississippi teams, both in the state of Mississippi. Speaking of Mississippi, Broome also went viral against Ole Miss.
Broome is taking ownership of the entire SEC aside from the state of Mississippi. I feel good about him here against Florida.
Josh Oduro, Providence ($8,700)
I like Andre Screen as much as the next guy, but he's not stopping Oduro. Osuro went nuts on the massive Creighton front earlier this week, notching his seventh straight game over 34 DraftKings points. No one has the floor of Oduro at any price right now. Losing Bryce Perkins was tough on the Friars, but we have seen both Devin Carter and Josh Oduro turn into monsters without Perkins.
Donovan Clingan, Connecticut ($7,400)
Clingan posted a monster double-double on Butler (18 points, 14 rebounds) in 28 minutes. That was the most minutes he has played since December 1 against Kansas. This is what happens when Klingan stays out of foul trouble. It's hard to depend on that, but Clingan has had two monster games since his return in games in which he didn't pick up more than two fouls. If he can stay on the court against Georgetown, the sky is the limit again.
Derek Fountain, LSU ($4,100)
LSU is looking for some consistency from either Fountain or Jalen Reed. Reed took Fountain's starting job early last month, but Fountain has scored in double figures in two of the last three games (against Alabama and Tennessee!). That should afford him more minutes, at least in the short term. The price is right to take a risk here in GPPs.
Also consider: Dylan Disu, Texas ($8,600); Ryan Kalkbrenner, Creighton ($8,500); Kyle Filipowski, Duke ($7,900); Marcus Domask, Illinois ($7,500); Collin Murray-Boyles, South Carolina ($6,900); Milan Momcilovic, Iowa State ($5,900); Robert Jones, Iowa State ($5,200); Tyrell Ward, LSU ($4,600); Andre Screen, Butler ($4,100)
