Today's Night DraftKings CBB DFS lineup picks for 1/14/25 Mike M's top daily fantasy college basketball sleepers to build winning NCAA DFS lineups on DraftKings.
We have our largest night slate of the season tonight with 10 games after the normal prime-time window. We start the evening in Madison with Ohio State visiting. Miami gets crazy in Cameron. Clemson is in Atlanta to take on the Wreck. Texas Tech heads to the Octagon of Doom to take on K-State. Missouri is Gator hunting in Gainesville. Arkansas heads down to Red Stick to take on the Tigers.
We have the Cowboys heading for the mountains to take on BYU. Iowa is on the left coast in L.A. to take on the Trojans. Baylor is in Tucson to take on Arizona. We end the night a little further down I-10 in Tempe with Central Florida taking on the Sun Devils.
This article will provide you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks on DraftKings on 1/14/25, starting at 9 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
Cooper Flagg, Duke ($11K)

— Real Sports (@realapp_) January 11, 2025
Cooper Flagg has played four games since he turned 18. He has 109 points, 30 rebounds, 21 assists, four blocks, and seven steals in those four games. I don't know how we fade him right now.
Keyshawn Hall, Central Florida ($8.6K)
Hall has at least 30 DraftKings points in five straight games, including games against Kansas, Texas Tech, and Arizona. Arizona State has good size inside, but if Hall can hold his own against the aforementioned teams, I'm not scared of the Sun Devils.
Matthew Cleveland, Miami (FL) ($7.6K)
The loss of Nijel Pack left a hole in the Miami lineup. Cleveland has filled it and then some. Only his former team (Florida State) kept him under 30 DraftKings points (24.25) since Pack went down against Tennessee on December 10. Expect another valiant effort from Cleveland, even in a loss.
Drew Thelwell, Iowa ($6.2K)
Thelwell missed a couple of games and Josh Dix went bonkers. Thelwell comes back like nothing happened. He put up 31.75 DraftKings points in the win over Indiana after his two-game absence. This Iowa team is lethal on the perimeter, but Thelwell isn't just a scorer like Dix is. He has 10 steals in the last two games!
Bryce Thompson, Oklahoma State ($4.4K)
The Cowboys desperately needed someone to step up for this team. Thompson has answered the call lately. He has 26 points, six rebounds, six assists, four steals, and a block in the last two games. He's a starter on this team and will play as many minutes as he can handle. You know how much I love that for value plays!
Also consider: Boogie Fland, Arkansas ($9.6K); V.J. Edgecombe, Baylor ($8.5K); Cam Carter, LSU ($8.1K); Naithan George, Georgia Tech ($7.7K); Desmond Claude, USC ($6.9K); Elijah Hawkins, Texas Tech ($6.8K); Wesley Yates III, USC ($5.6K); Max Jones, Kansas State ($5K); Paul Djobet, Miami (FL) ($4.4K); Caleb Grill, Missouri ($4.1K)

Today's DraftKings Forwards - CBB DFS Lineup Picks
Payton Sandfort, Iowa ($9.3K)
Just in: Iowa's Payton Sanfort has been named the Big Ten Co-Player of the Week. It is the second weekly honor of Sandfort's career.
Sandfort scored 53 points in the last two games... 51 of those points coming in the second half!

What happens when Sandfort starts making shots early in the game? You know it will happen at some point and you know what will happen when it does. He's going to break a slate. It could be this one against USC.
JT Toppin, Texas Tech ($7.4K)
This guy dropped 50 DraftKings points three games ago on New Year's Eve. It has been a slow January for Toppin, but he looked good against a strong Iowa State team. This is a dream matchup for Toppin (as far as conference play goes) and he's priced low for what the ceiling is.
Josh Ojianwuna, Baylor ($6.7K)
Ojianwuna has three double-doubles in his last five games. He's one of the more efficient scorers in the conference and he's a better rebounder than Norchad Omier. He's not the overall player that Omier is, but he's almost $4K cheaper. If you can't afford Omier, Ojianwuna is an excellent consolation prize.
Khaman Maluach, Duke ($5.4K)
Miami doesn't have much of an inside presence. Neither does the Notre Dame team that Maluach abused for 34.5 DraftKings points over the weekend. Maluach isn't the most consistent guy, but this is another dream matchup for him. He should at least flirt with 30 again.
Rashaun Agee, USC ($4.3K)
Josh Cohen takes up a lot of space but doesn't provide a lot of production. USC gave their senior a start against Illinois over the weekend. Agee turned in 13 points and eight rebounds. That's a great return at this price. I would expect Agee to at least start this game after that performance.
Also consider: Norchad Omier, Baylor ($10.4K); Alex Condon, Florida ($9.1K); Steven Crowl, Wisconsin ($8.2K); BJ Freeman, Arizona State ($6.7K); Baye Ndongo, Georgia Tech ($6K); Marchelus Avery, Oklahoma State ($5.3K); Jonas Aidoo, Arkansas ($5.1K); Thomas Haugh, Florida ($4.7K)
