Today's Night DraftKings CBB DFS lineup picks for 12/4/24. Mike M's top daily fantasy college basketball sleepers to build winning NCAA DFS lineups on DraftKings.
The night slate isn't quite as packed as the earlier one, but the games might be better with the ACC/SEC Challenge taking center court. Vanderbilt is in Blacksburg to start us off with Pitt heading to StarkVegas shortly after.
Next up is Auburn at Cameron Indoor for a huge matchup. DePaul heads to Lubbock to face the Red Raiders in the Big 12 (16)/Big East Challenge. Texas is in Raleigh to take on the Pack. We close this out with some former Pac-12 flavor with Oregon heading down to USC.
This article will provide you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks on DraftKings on 12/4/24, starting at 9:15 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
Jaland Lowe, Pittsburgh ($8.4K)

Lowe has only gotten better since that game. He's one of the few college players to record a triple-double this season. He is everywhere on the court, rarely comes off the court, and has turned into an elite scorer. Lowe is only getting better and has a great matchup tonight.
Tyrese Proctor, Duke ($6.4K)
Proctor has upped his scoring this year while keeping the same intensity on defense and on the glass. He's the veteran leader of the super-talented youngsters on this team. Duke will need his leadership in a tough matchup with Auburn. They're going to need his scoring as well.
Keeshawn Barthelemy, Oregon ($6.3K)
Barthelemy is playing huge minutes off the bench because he's not missing shots. Barthelemy has 38 points in the last two games alone. Oregon is going to keep running him out there as long as he stays hot, but his minutes were in the mid-20s before this hot streak. Even if a high number of his shots aren't falling, he does enough to keep up his DFS scoring.
Riley Kugel, Mississippi State ($5.6K)
The Florida transfer has emerged as a much-needed scoring threat for the Bulldogs. Kugel poured in 22 points against Butler. He's still not very consistent, but I would expect the minutes to keep ticking upward since Mississippi State needs his offense.
Also consider: Cooper Flagg, Duke ($9.4K); Ishmael Leggett, Pittsburgh ($8.2K); Jackson Shelstad, Oregon ($6.6K); Jayden Taylor, North Carolina State ($6.3K); Chad Baker-Mazara, Auburn ($6K); Conor Enright, DePaul ($5.8K); Julian Larry, Texas ($5K); CJ Gunn, DePaul ($4.2K)

Today's DraftKings Forwards - CBB DFS Lineup Picks
Johni Broome, Auburn ($10.8K)
FILM ROOM: Auburn C Johni Broome averaged 21.7 PPG, 15 RPG, 4.3 APG, 3 BPG and 1 SPG while shooting 52/46/79 last week in Maui
here's a deep dive into four areas — crafty finishes, assists, defense and 3-point shooting — that make him one of the most complete players in America pic.twitter.com/NahltGBP5i

I was intrigued by Broome last year, but he also seemed too inconsistent and Auburn wouldn't keep him on the court for big chunks of minutes. He's making it nearly impossible for the Tigers to take him off the court this year.
Broome has scored at least 60 DraftKings points in three of the last four games. The only team to hold him under that mark was Iowa State -- one of the best defensive teams in the country. He still put up 46.5 DK points, a mark he hasn't been below since the opener against Vermont when he played just 22 minutes.
Broome is the best player on the entire slate and it's not close. No one else has a 60-point upside. Hell, no one else has a 50-point upside!
Nate Bittle, Oregon ($8.1K)
Bittle isn't the most consistent guy around and he sometimes plays under his 7-foot size. Predictably, he's a good rim protector and good on the boards, but he always looks like he could be better. This is a good matchup against USC tonight. The Trojans don't have enough size to tangle with Bittle.
Cameron Matthews, Mississippi State ($6.7K)
There is a lot to like about Matthews since he contributes a lot on the defensive end, but he does have offensive limitations. He often isn't aggressive enough to look for shots. There is tremendous upside here, especially if Guillermo Diaz Graham is out for Pitt tonight.
Michael Nwoko, Mississippi State ($4.3K)
Nwoko was moved to the starting lineup four games ago, but he didn't record 20 minutes in a game until the Butler game on Friday. He scored in double figures for the first time this season in that game, so Nwoko seems to be going in the right direction. Value is tough at forward tonight. Nwoko is one of the more intriguing options since there are no sure things.
Also consider: JT Toppin, Texas Tech ($9K); Arthur Kaluma, Texas ($8.3K); Saint Thomas, USC ($6.9K); Zack Austin, Pittsburgh ($5.7K); Supreme Cook, Oregon ($4.5K)
