DraftKings CBB DFS Lineup Picks for 2/10/21 - Daily Fantasy College Basketball Advice

Mike Marteny offers his DraftKings daily fantasy college basketball sleepers for 2/10/21. His CBB DFS lineup picks and sleepers will help you win on DraftKings.

We have a little smaller Wednesday night for our college basketball DFS contests on DraftKings. There are only seven games on the DraftKings slate tonight, but the quality makes up for the little smaller quantity. We have two games each from the SEC and Big Ten(14). Then we have one each from the Big East, American Conference, and ACC. The absence of big name teams and stars leave this slate wide open. It's nights like this that make it really fun in college basketball DFS.

In college basketball it's perfectly fine to ignore slow-paced games or teams with tough matchups on a large slate like this. The only one that looks like it's going to play slower than the rest is the ACC tilt between Georgia Tech and Virginia. However, there were a couple of players that had huge games in the first meeting despite the two teams combining for just 126 points. Nebraska and Wisconsin were also way under with only 120 points scored in the first meeting. Those are just a couple of things to keep in mind.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 2/10/21. I’ll be providing multiple player suggestions for players at guard and forward, aiming to highlight one option apiece at the high, middle, and lower end of the salary scale. Good luck, RotoBallers.

DraftKings CBB DFS Guards

Cameron Thomas, LSU ($8,200)

Alvarado's first crack at Virginia was a bit of an aberration. He racked up six steals and nailed four triples. I'd rather bet on Thomas in a paced-up game than betting on Alvarado to have a bunch of crooked numbers in unconventional categories again. This game has the highest implied total on the entire slate at 145.5 with a low point spread. I'm planning on having a few pieces of each team spread across lineups. If you don't want to pay up for a freshman in a game like this, Javonte Smart looks very nice for those on a budget. Smart's floor is a little more stable.

D.J. Stewart, Mississippi State ($7,200)

While it is true that Dalano Banton had a good game against Wisconsin the first time around, it feels like chasing Stewart in a high-scoring game is better than taking the one-man gang against a team like the Badgers. The Bulldogs are favored against LSU here and will need Stewart's hot streak to continue to make the Vegas predictions come true. Stewart has 98.25 DraftKings points over the last three games after an embarrassing game against Tennessee. I'll say the hot streak continues here. Stewart has a very high ceiling for this price.

Justin Moore, Villanova ($6,800)

Once again, the Wildcats are a top-five team. At the core of this is Moore. He's one of the most consistent players you'll find at the college level. Moore has at least 22 DraftKings points in every game this season. The only team to hold him under 25 was a Texas team that is ranked in the top ten. There are players with higher ceilings for the Wildcats, but this game has a larger spread and lower implied total than either of the SEC games. I'll take my upside from the higher-paced games and run Moore to have a guarantee in my lineup.

Mark Smith, Missouri ($4,700)

Smith has been coming off the bench for Missouri over the last couple of games, but his showing from a bench role has been even better than when he was starting. Smith still plays 28-30 minutes per game. It's a probability that Smith had a ceiling game against Alabama this weekend. However, this game has a high implied total and Ole Miss is favored at home against a top ten Mizzou team. I'll take my shot at a Missouri win with some of the cheaper pieces such as Smith. He looks like a sure 20 right now. That's plenty good enough for this price range.

Also consider: Jose Alvarado, Georgia Tech ($8,500); Collin Gillespie, Villanova ($7,600); DeJon Jarreau, Houston ($6,500); Deivon Smith, Mississippi State ($4,400)

DraftKings CBB DFS Forwards

Trendon Watford, LSU ($8,000)

I don't often fade Luka Garza, but this is one situation where I will. Moses Wright and Jay Huff both had solid games against each other in the first meeting, but I'm intoxicated by the extra savings and higher ceiling of Watford here. You know my feelings of how this game will play out by now. Due to the tougher matchups of the other three, it's not out of the realm of possible outcomes that Watford outdoes all three of them. I'll take that chance in GPP formats. If you're playing cash, I suggest Huff.

Justin Gorham, Houston ($7,000)

This game has a high point spread, so I'm not all that interested in it. Gorham is the most consistent Houston piece at the moment and it would make sense for the Cougars to go after the smaller Bulls up front. Gorham should have a solid game for the price, but I view him more as a cash game option. Cain's ceiling is almost as high, but Cain also has a floor at least ten points lower than Gorham.

Jamal Cain, Marquette ($6,300)

The strength of the Villanova team is once again on the perimeter. Cain is the only Marquette player that had a good game relative to price in the first meeting with the Wildcats. Cain put up 28.25 DraftKings points in that tilt. Cain has been on a tear lately after a January swoon, picking up 83.75 DraftKings points over the last three games. They weren't against poor teams either. He did that to Creighton, Butler, and St. John's. I like his chances against Villanova, but Cain is also the only Marquette player that I would even consider.

Jack Nunge, Iowa ($5,000)

Garza has struggled (for him) of late. Nunge has been the guy picking up the slack. Nunge is a bit of a risk because the Hawkeyes are a guard-dominant team. However, Rutgers succeeded in making them play from the inside more in the first meeting. Garza only outscored Nunge by 12.5 DraftKings points in that game. This game is going to be tough and physical. I prefer the lower-priced Nunge over higher priced options on either side of this game.

Also consider: Sam Hauser, Virginia ($7,900); Jordan Usher, Georgia Tech ($5,800); Micah Potter, Wisconsin ($5,400); Kobe Brown, Missouri ($4,800)
