CBB DFS: Night DraftKings Daily Fantasy College Basketball Picks - Today's Top Lineups (1/27/24)

Today's Night DraftKings CBB DFS lineup picks for 1/27/24. Mike's top daily fantasy college basketball sleepers to build winning NCAA DFS lineups on DraftKings.

We end our Saturday basketball extravaganza with 10 games in the nightcap. The Big East starts off with their only offering featuring DePaul at the Birdcage to take on Creighton. The Big 12's nightcap is Central Florida in Cincinnati to take on the Bearcats. The ACC's only game is the Pack in the Loud House to take on Syracuse.

This slate is heavy on the Pac-12 with Arizona State in Corvallis to start, the Battle of Los Angeles at USC in the middle, and Utah in Seattle to close the entire slate out. The SEC gives us LSU in Tuscaloosa to take on the Tide and Ole Miss heading to Texas to take on the Aggies. The Big Ten takes over prime time with Ohio State in Evanston. We also get a Mountain West tilt with UNLV at San Jose State.

In this article, I will provide you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 1/27/24, starting at 8 p.m. Eastern. 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

Wade Taylor IV, Texas A&M ($8,900)

Taylor isn't the most efficient guy out there most days, but the shot volume makes him an elite GPP play. Taylor's 13 shots against Missouri was his lowest total since the calendar flipped to 2024. Taylor hasn't been under 30 DraftKings points since the Auburn game on January 9, which was a slog for both teams. Taylor is the elite GPP play tonight, but you can find more consistency if playing cash games.

Myron Amey Jr., San Jose State ($8,200)

Amey put up 45.25 DraftKings points on a good New Mexico team (in a 20-point loss, mind you) earlier this week, so UNLV doesn't scare me. Amey is a good scorer, but that's not what drives his value. He contributes across the board. Amey is a good defender and a really good rebounder for a guard. If he scores around 20 points, he can get as many points from peripherals to hit 40 DraftKings points.

Lazar Stefanovic, UCLA ($6,600)

The Bruins took a while to get going this year, but Stefanovic has been at the forefront of the recent surge. He has 95.25 DraftKings points over the last three games thanks to efficient shooting (from beyond the arc as well) and his work on the boards. As with most of the team around him, Stefanovic is still a work in progress. However, he has looked polished over the last 10 days or so. He could be in for another big game against the Trojans.

Will McClendon, UCLA ($4,100)

McClendon is seeing more minutes lately, but he can usually be found doing more cardio than anything else on a basketball court. That's not entirely true, but McClendon does a lot of things that aren't quantified for fantasy purposes. The UCLA guards outside of Stefanovic are still inconsistent. McClendon got his audition over the last two games in Arizona with modest success. He's a solid value play at this price when he's playing 25 minutes.

Also consider: Boo Buie, Northwestern ($8,600); Mark Sears, Alabama ($8,400); Jaylen Murray, Mississippi ($7,100); Sebastian Mack, UCLA ($6,800); Gabe Madsen, Utah ($6,500); Rylan Griffen, Alabama ($6,100); Evan Mahaffey, Ohio State ($5,600); Bronny James, USC ($5,300); Paul Mulcahy, Washington ($4,800)

Today's DraftKings Forwards - CBB DFS Lineup Picks

Keion Brooks Jr., Washington ($8,400)

Brooks has scored at least 20 points in three straight games, five of the last six, and nine of the last 11 games. That's the kind of consistency that's worth paying up for. DePaul has been so awful in conference play that I fear Creighton blows them out and none of their players hit value. Utah's front got chewed up by Oregon last weekend. Washington doesn't have quite the size that Oregon does, but they have skilled players there as well.

Andersson Garcia, Texas A&M ($7,100)

Pound for pound, Garcia might be the best rebounder in college basketball. He's tenacious on the boards and has scored in double figures in each of the last three games. Garcia has at least 23 DraftKings points in five straight and seven of the last eight games, topping 30 in five of those games. Like Brooks, he has a really solid floor while his recent scoring binge gives him a little higher ceiling and double-double potential.

DJ Rodman, USC ($6,000)

It took Rodman some time to find out where he fits in on this team, but he has looked really good lately. He has at least 20 DraftKings points in four straight games now. Rodman has taken on more of a role in the offense with Isaiah Collier and Boogie Ellis out. Even when Ellis returns (possibly tonight), I expect Rodman to remain involved in the offense. Add that to his rebounds, and there is plenty of potential here.

Moussa Cisse, Mississippi ($4,800)

The Oklahoma State transfer has carved out a role here for the Rebels. He's not supplanting Jamarion Sharp anytime soon, but Cisse provides rim protection, solid scoring, and elite rebounding for 15-20 minutes per game. He has reached double-figure DraftKings points in nine straight games. Cisse has very little upside, but he has become a reliable value play.

Also consider: Ryan Kalkbrenner, Creighton ($8,800); Tyler Bilodeau, Oregon State ($7,300); Ibrahima Diallo, Central Florida ($6,700); DJ Burns Jr., North Carolina State ($6,200); Matthew Nicholson, Northwestern ($6,000); Vincent Iwuchukwu, USC ($5,800); Jamarion Sharp, Mississippi ($5,400); Adrame Diongue, San Jose State ($5,200); Jaden Henley, DePaul ($4,700); Thierno Sylla, Central Florida ($3,700)
