Three games start before the usual start times. Ole Miss heads to Columbia to take on the Gamecocks. Rutgers heads to College Park to take on the Terps. The last of the early games has DePaul in Queens to take on St John's.
The normal window starts in Columbus with Indiana taking on the Buckeyes. Houston hosts Oklahoma State. Florida State heads up to Chestnut Hill to take on the Eagles. Wake heads down to Atlanta to take on the Bees. Clemson heads to Chapel Hill to take on the Tar Heels. Iowa State heads down to Austin to take on Texas. BYU heads to Norman to take on the Sooners. Kentucky heads down to Nashville to take on Vandy. We end in Hartford with Butler taking on UConn.
This article will provide you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 2/6/24, starting at 6:30 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
RJ Davis, North Carolina ($8,800)
Davis has scored in double figures in every game except for the UC-Riverside game on November 17. He has topped 15 in each of the last eight games. He's one of the best scorers at the college level and still puts up solid peripheral numbers. Davis hasn't been under 25 DraftKings points since November 22 against Northern Iowa. He has a high floor and the ceiling is in the high 40s. That makes Davis the safest pay-up option at guard tonight.
Keshon Gilbert, Iowa State ($7,600)
The Cyclones really missed Tamin Lipsey when he was out, but his absence led to the emergence of Gilbert as a scorer. Gilbert has scored at least 15 points in five straight games after hitting that mark only five times in 16 previous games. As with the rest of the team, Gilbert is a busy defender and solid on the boards. Gilbert has picked up nine steals in the last four games, three of those with Lipsey in the lineup.
DJ Davis, Butler ($6,500)
Butler made some changes after a 14-point loss to Xavier that has resulted in a four-game win streak, including scoring 99 points in regulation at the Birdcage in a win over Creighton. Davis was one of those changes. He has played 139 minutes in those four games while scoring 84 points, dishing out 12 assists, picking eight steals, and hauling in 12 rebounds. Those marks are all way above his season averages. Butler is playing well, so look for Davis to keep playing a key part in this offense, especially if Posh Alexander is out again.
Jeremiah Williams, Rutgers ($5,000)
Williams missed the first 20 games of the season due to a gambling suspension, but he has been practicing with the team the whole time. He started against Michigan on Saturday and played 30 minutes in a 69-59 victory over the Wolverines. Williams was a little cold from the floor (4-for-12 overall and missed both three-point attempts) but he did pick up six rebounds, two assists, and a block. The minutes and involvement in the offense are there. That's unusual for a value play, so Williams is a nice play at this price.
Also consider: Tristen Newton, Connecticut ($9,100); Rob Dillingham, Kentucky ($8,600); Hunter Sallis, Wake Forest ($8,000); Tamin Lipsey, Iowa State ($7,100); Ta'Lon Cooper, South Carolina ($6,700); Roddy Gayle Jr., Ohio State ($6,300); Trey Galloway, Indiana ($6,000); Darin Green Jr., Florida State ($5,800); Emanuel Sharp, Houston ($5,500); Quion Williams, Oklahoma State ($5,300); Chendall Weaver, Texas ($4,700); Seth Trimble, North Carolina ($4,300)

Today's DraftKings Forwards - CBB DFS Lineup Picks
Harrison Ingram, North Carolina ($8,900)
Ingram only accounted for 20 DraftKings points in the first meeting against Clemson, but in the eight games since that meeting, Ingram has eight double-doubles. A changing of the guard has occurred in the Carolina frontcourt (though Armando Bacot demolished Duke on Saturday because it's tradition). Ingram has better averages over those eight games than Bacot does. This is a tougher matchup against Clemson, but teams have had a very big problem trying to contain both Bacot and Ingram. Bacot got Clemson the first time around. Will it be him or Ingram tonight?
Collin Murray-Boyles, South Carolina ($6,700)
The freshman cracked the starting lineup seven games ago. The Gamecocks have gone 6-1 in those games with wins over Tennessee (in Knoxville) and Kentucky. Murray-Boyles is a high-energy player who does a little bit of everything on the court. That gives him a solid floor no matter the opponent. In those seven games as a starter, he is averaging 7.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1.7 blocks per game.
Baye Ndongo, Georgia Tech ($6,200)
The freshman left the North Carolina game with a concussion after just five minutes and played only 19 minutes against North Carolina State in his return because he fouled out. That's great for us because it has tanked his price in DFS. No one else in this price range has the ceiling that Ndongo does. The freshman has cleared 40 DraftKings points three times since his debut on November 22. Fouls are a concern, but the upside makes him a perfect GPP play.
Churchill Abass, DePaul ($4,800)
Abass made his first career start against Xavier over the weekend and provided 13 points, nine rebounds, a steal, and two blocks in 26 minutes. That kind of return should keep him in the starting lineup for DePaul. There's not a lot of talent on this team, so Abass should continue to see looks and could command more touches in the offense if he has another performance like that. Abass was efficient off the bench and that carried over to his start. His stock is on the way up and the price hasn't adjusted yet.
Also consider: Kel'el Ware, Indiana ($9,000); Armando Bacot, North Carolina ($8,600); Ian Schieffelin, Clemson ($7,400); Fousseyni Traore, BYU ($6,600); Donovan Clingan, Connecticut ($6,400); Donta Scott, Maryland ($6,000); Evan Taylor, Vanderbilt ($5,500); Hason Ward, Iowa State ($5,300); Moussa Cisse, Mississippi ($5,000); Joseph Tugler, Houston ($4,900); Samson Johnson, Connecticut ($4,500)
