Today's DraftKings college basketball DFS lineup picks for 12/4/23. Mike Marteny's CBB daily fantasy advice and lineup sleepers to help you win on DraftKings.
We have a relatively small Monday slate after a big weekend of college hoops. ESPN isn't stylizing this as Big Monday yet, but we do have a big game tipping us off this evening. Iowa heads to Purdue to take on the Boilermakers.
We have Arkansas State heading to Tuscaloosa to take on the Tide. The Paladins of Furman head to Fayetteville for the running of the Hogs. We have mid-major mania in Fargo with San Jose State taking on the Bison. We end this out west in Corvallis with Cal-Poly San Luis Obispo heading to take on the Beavers.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 12/4/23, starting at 7 PM Eastern. I’ll provide multiple player suggestions at guard and forward, aiming to highlight one option at the high, middle, and lower end of the salary scale. Good luck, RotoBallers.
DraftKings CBB DFS Guards
Mark Sears, Alabama ($8,900)
Sears must have come into Tuscaloosa like Will Smith in the empty house in The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air finale. Jahvon Quinerly transferred to Memphis. Jaden Bradley transferred to Arizona. Nimari Burnett headed to Michigan. Charles Bediako, Noah Clowney, and Brandon Miller all left for the NBA draft. Sears has picked up a lot of the slack. He has at least 30 DraftKings points in every game this season. That's the kind of production I want when paying up for a player.
JP Pegues, Furman ($7,000)
Remember him? Pegues hit the dagger that sent Virginia to another early exit in March last year. He is also one of the few mid-major darlings to return to his current school. Pegues, like he did during last year's tournament, is doing a little bit of everything. He has topped 30 DraftKings points four times in seven games and even topped 50 once. I'll bite for this price.
Myron Amey Jr., San Jose State ($6,400)
Amey put up 36.5 DraftKings points on the Bison in San Jose last week. That was his fourth straight game over 25 DraftKings points with three of those topping the 30 mark. Amey is a strong rebounder for a guard and pitches in a handful of assists as well. He has a really good floor even if his shot goes astray.
Rylan Griffen, Alabama ($5,200)
Griffen is seeing more minutes lately for the Tide. They are looking for any kind of production alongside Sears. Griffen played well off the bench and was put in the starting lineup two games ago. He has a modest 44.25 DraftKings points in those two games, but he's getting shots and rebounds. We can do worse at this price.
Also consider: Braden Smith, Purdue ($8,400); Taryn Todd, Arkansas State ($7,400); Kobe Sanders, Cal Poly ($6,800); Derrian Ford, Arkansas State ($4,900)

DraftKings CBB DFS Forwards
Zach Edey, Purdue ($11,500)
Purdue is the only guy on this slate who can put up 60 DraftKings points on any given slate. His usage is off the charts. Edey is a walking double-double, so I don't think you can fade him in cash games. The price makes it a bit hard to swallow if he doesn't drop 60 in a large-field GPP, so I'm not against a fade in those formats. You just have to hope Iowa contains him.
Trevon Brazile, Alabama ($7,500)
Brazile has been productive in all but the North Carolina game where he committed two early fouls and missed every shot he took in 20 minutes. The floor is terrifying, but it also brought Brazile's price down to a manageable level. He has at least 30 DraftKings points in three of the last four games. We'll call the Carolina game an outlier and expect 30 again tonight.
Alex Williams, Furman ($5,400)
Furman missed three weeks but came back strong with 65.25 DraftKings points in the three games since Thanksgiving. Williams plays a lot of minutes but usually doesn't do much aside from score. He's a risk against Arkansas, but he can change a slate if he gets hot. Williams has seven made threes in those three games.
Chol Marial, Oregon State ($4,400)
Marial doubled his previous season-high in minutes against UC-Davis last week. Davis didn't have a player that could stop him. The same should be true of Cal Poly. Marial could do a lot of damage if he plays 28 minutes again.
Also consider: Grant Nelson, Alabama ($8,000); Payton Sandfort, Iowa ($7,100); Trey Anderson, San Jose State ($6,200); Garrett Hien, Furman ($5,800); Chandler Lawson, Arkansas ($5,100); Ben VanderWal, Furman ($3,400)
