We've got a massive slate today with all of the major conference tournaments in action. We have 24 games split down the middle with a dozen on each slate. How perfect is that? DraftKings hasn't been getting the main slate ready to analyze until around noon. I will have the picks up with at least an hour to spare, depending on my day job. Ohio State and Iowa is the appetizer for this slate, starting a bit earlier than everyone else.
We have a busy 7:00 hour with Ole Miss facing the Aggies, Providence against Creighton, the Pack facing Duke, and Farmageddon again in Kansas City. The Cardinal and Cougs tip in Vegas next hour with Penn State and Indiana not far behind. Villanova takes on Marquette in the Big East nightcap. It's the World's Largest Indoor Cocktail Party in Nashville to end the night. Boston College and Virginia is the ACC nightcap with Cincinnati and Baylor closing things in KC. We end in Vegas with Colorado and Utah.
This article will provide you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks on DraftKings on 3/14/24, starting at 6:30 p.m. EDT. 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 ($9.9K)
Tonight. 7pm. The Big East Player of the Year, Devin Carter, and the Providence College Friars take on the Creighton Blue Jays. Be there! pic.twitter.com/eual5MOYnv

I'm not backing off just because he's playing Creighton. In fact, that might be a reason to jump on. Two of Carter's best games of the season game against the Jays. He put up an overtime-fueled 63.75 DraftKings points in 42 minutes against them on February 7. Carter also put up 46 DraftKings points on them in Omaha in the game in which Bryce Hopkins went down. Carter has strapped the team to his back and carried them to a postseason berth. They still have an outside shot at the big one, but they'll have to beat Creighton to do it.
Tyrece Radford, Texas A&M ($7.5K)
Wade Taylor IV's ceiling is just as high as anyone. The problem is he rarely reaches it and his off games are usually really off. Radford is a suitable alternative. The price difference isn't that great anymore, but Radford has four straight games over 30 DraftKings points. The Aggies closed out the season with a big win over Ole Miss...the same Ole Miss team they open the SEC Tournament with. Radford put up 41.5 DraftKings points in that game. Taylor had 43.5. Both are good options. Use the one that best suits your lineup.
Jaeden Zackery, Boston College ($6.4K)
You don't mess with destiny, and right now, Boston College seems to be a team of destiny. The 11-seed in the ACC Tournament blew out both Miami and Clemson to get here and Zackery was a big part of it. He has 38 points, 11 rebounds, six assists, and three steals in the first two games in D.C. Zackery was already simmering before the tournament. Now he's on fire. He scored 31.5 DraftKings points against the Hoos in the first meeting at the end of February. I'm hoping to get that out of him again tonight.
Manny Obaseki, Texas A&M ($5.8K)
I'm still surprised that a larger price adjustment hasn't happened for Obaseki. The guy has 82.75 DraftKings points over the last three games, culminating in a 32.25 DraftKings point performance in just 20 minutes against Mississippi to end the regular season. The Aggies should be tournament-bound regardless of the outcome here, but I see them leaving no doubt. Obaseki should be a big piece of that.
Isaiah Watts, Washington State ($4.6K)
Watts is another freshman making a late-season push. You'll see more of this in the coming years. Coaches putting freshmen in who perform at practice to try and keep them from skipping town via the portal. Watts is averaging 11.3 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 1.8 steals in 21.5 minutes per game since entering the rotation on February 24. That's really good production in this price range.
Also consider: Baylor Scheierman, Creighton ($9.5K); Kam Jones, Marquette ($8.8K); Deivon Smith, Utah ($8.6K); Zyon Pullin, Florida ($7.9K); Jared McCain, Duke ($7K); DJ Horne, North Carolina State ($6.8K); Stevie Mitchell, Marquette ($6.6K); Tyrese Proctor, Duke ($6.3K); Curtis Jones, Iowa State ($6.1K); Blue Cain, Georgia ($5.1K); Langston Love, Baylor ($4.8K); Rich Barron, Providence ($4.5K); Jordan Longino, Villanova ($4.3K)

Today's DraftKings Forwards - CBB DFS Lineup Picks
Payton Sandfort, Iowa ($8.7K)
Sandfort caught fire after a terrible game against Penn State on February 8. Since then, he is averaging 20.5 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 0.8 blocks, and 1.0 assists per game. That comes out to about 38.6 DraftKings points per game. Most will flock to guards on this slate since there are a plethora of them worth using. Sandfort could be overlooked, especially facing a streaking Ohio State team. Sandford had a solid game against them right before his hot streak began.
Solomon Washington, Texas A&M ($6.3K)
I know...I know. There's a lot of Aggies on here, but doesn't it feel like they're underpriced? The only one that isn't is Wade Taylor IV. Washington re-entered the starting lineup against Georgia on March 2. He proceeded to put up 29 points, 26 rebounds, six blocks, three steals, and two assists in the final three games of the regular season. The kicker is that his price only went up $900. It could be another $900 more than this and I would still use him.
David N'Guessan, Kansas State ($5.9K)
Speaking of teams on a roll, Kansas State fits that bill. They took down the Cyclones at the Octagon just five days ago and took care of Texas in K.C. yesterday. In that Farmageddon game, N'Guessan had 11 points and 16 rebounds. That stands as his best game of the season. N'Guessan and Nae'Qwan Tomlin were huge down the stretch for K-State's run through the tournament last year. Tomlin is gone, but it looks like N'Guessan is just getting warmed up.
Jake Groves, Virginia ($4.9K)
Groves was put back into the starting lineup for the Boston College game at the end of February and has 49 DraftKings points over the three games since. It's a far cry from what he accomplished first at Eastern Washington, then at Oklahoma, but those are good numbers for his Virginia tenure. 19.5 of those DraftKings points came against the Eagles. We can work with that from a value play.
Also consider: Kel'el Ware, Indiana ($9.2K); Quinten Post, Boston College ($8.6K); Maxime Raynaud, Stanford ($8.3K); Josh Oduro, Providence ($8K); Arthur Kaluma, Kansas State ($7.2K); Mackenzie Mgbako, Indiana ($6.6K); Russel Tchewa, Georgia ($6.4K); John Newman III, Cincinnati ($6.2K); Tyler Burton, Villanova ($5.8K); Alex Condon, Florida ($5.5K); Ben Gold, Marquette ($4.6K); Devin Royal, Ohio State ($4.3K)
