Today's DraftKings college basketball DFS lineup picks for 12/6/23. Mike Marteny's CBB daily fantasy advice and lineup sleepers to help you win on DraftKings.
This is such a great time of year for college basketball. Most conferences haven't started yet, so we are still seeing compelling out-of-conference tilts all over the place. Memphis heads to Richmond to take on VCU. Penn State heads south to take on Maryland. We have a huge one from Milwaukee with Texas taking on Marquette in the Big East/Big 12 Battle. South Carolina heads to Clemson for bragging rights in the Palmetto State.
We have the Dons in Nashville to take on Vandy. We have the Backyard Brawl hardwood style from Morgantown. Nebraska heads up to the Barn to take on Minnesota. We close this out in the desert with SMU taking on Arizona State. This is going to be another fun one!
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 12/6/23, 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
Max Abmas, Texas ($8,400)
Abmas is finally getting comfortable in Austin. The Oral Roberts transfer was a one-man gang in Tulsa. Here he has a lot of help. Abmas is piling up the points with his usual good shooting. He has 49 points in the last two games. That's what Abmas does best. This is a tougher matchup, but Abmas should still be able to hold his own against these guards.
Joseph Girard III, Clemson ($7,200)
Girard traded in one shade of Orange for another when he transferred from Syracuse. Girard is the perimeter scorer that Clemson lacked last season. He is averaging 14.7 points per game on the season, but he has scored in double figures in five straight and topped 20 twice in that span. If you watched Girard at Syracuse, his game hasn't really changed much. He's still a capable passer, but the rebounds are down a tad with his forwards gobbling up all the loose balls.
Michael Belle, Virginia Commonwealth ($5,400)
This is a guard-heavy team, so we'll see Belle drop down and play the four from time to time. He should do that a lot against a Memphis team that mostly plays positionless as well. Belle isn't a factor in the offense -- he hasn't taken more than six shots in a game this year -- but he is an efficient shooter and an excellent rebounder. Belle's value lies in his defensive prowess and rebounding chops. I love that in a value play.
Myles Stute, South Carolina ($4,600)
The Vanderbilt transfer has been a little more involved in the South Carolina offense than he was at Vanderbilt. Stute is a solid producer across the board, but if he continues scoring in double figures, he becomes a value play to target. Stute is averaging nearly 20 DraftKings points per game, and if you take out the disaster against Notre Dame, he's well over 20.
Also consider: Ishmael Leggett, Pittsburgh ($7,800); Meechie Johnson, South Carolina ($7,700); Ezra Manjon, Vanderbilt ($7,100); Marcus Williams, San Francisco ($6,400); Kobe Johnson, West Virginia ($5,700); Keisei Tominaga, Nebraska ($5,300); Zachary Davis, South Carolina ($3,600)

DraftKings CBB DFS Forwards
PJ Hall, Clemson ($10,100)
Hall is what everyone thought Armando Bacot would be by this point in his career. Hall has become an elite scorer up front for Clemson. If he starts hauling down double figures in rebounds with regularity, he will be one of the highest scorers in DFS this season. Hall contributes across every category, but he's starting at a 21-point floor just from his scoring average. That's elite territory.
Blake Hinson, Pittsburgh ($7,700)
I don't usually target West Virginia, but it's hard to ignore what Hinson has done this year. He has scored at least 20 points in four of the eight games of the season and he's still rebounding about as well as he did last year. Hinson's newfound scoring prowess is something to keep an eye on. He put up 27 points against Clemson's formidable front over the weekend. I'll run him against the Mountaineers, too.
Jamiya Neal, Arizona State ($6,500)
Neal entered the portal after last season but decided to return to Tempe. The team challenged him to take on more of a role this year, and Neal has listened. He has scored in double figures in six consecutive games now, even turning in a double-double against San Francisco over the weekend. Neal is an efficient shooter and has been a terror on the boards so far this year. That double-double won't be his last.
Malcolm Dandridge, Memphis ($4,400)
Memphis runs their centers by whoever has the hot hand. Dandridge dumped in 13 points in just nine shots against Ole Miss, by far the best performance by a Memphis center this year. It should mean more minutes for Dandridge, but the inherent risk of this situation has me running Dandridge in large-field GPPs only.
Also consider: Jonathan Mogbo, San Francisco ($9,400); Rienk Mast, Nebraska ($8,000); B.J. Mack, South Carolina ($7,600); Juwan Gary, Nebraska ($7,000); Ian Schieffelin, Clemson ($6,700); Pharrel Payne, Minnesota ($5,700); Keon Ambrose-Hylton, SMU ($5,200)
