We've got a hell of an end to November for our DraftKings college basketball tournaments! We start a little early with K-State in Indianapolis taking on Butler. The 7 PM hour brings Vanderbilt to Virginia Commonwealth and Ohio State heading to Cameron Indoor. Purdue is in Tallahassee and Rutgers gets a nice winter break in Miami.
The 8 PM hour gives us Providence in Fort Worth to take on the Toadies. Georgetown is also in Texas (Lubbock). SMU heads down to College Station to take on the Aggies. The 9 PM hour brings Boston College to the plains of Nebraska. North Carolina heads to Bloomington in a war of the blue bloods. Michigan State is in South Bend to take on the Irish. We end this out West with USC heading to Berkeley. This is going to be a nice one!
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 11/30/22, starting at 6:30 pm Eastern. 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
Markquis Nowell, Kansas State ($9,400)
Nowell is second in the country in assists to go with his 15.3 points per game average. He is proving that he can not only run the team but can score as well. The promise that many saw in Nowell last year is manifesting in the early going of this season. Nowell has a high floor, but his ceiling isn't all that high against a sound team like Butler. Still, the assists should still be there even if the Bulldogs succeed in slowing down the game.
Tyson Walker, Michigan State ($7,600)
Walker plays a ton of minutes and takes a ton of shots. He has scored in double figures in every game since the opener against Northern Arizona. Walker is a good rebounder and picks up a handful of assists per game. He's active in his 35 minutes on the court, which gives him a high floor. The length of the Irish could be a problem, but Walker feels cheap at this price. Even in a floor game, he should give us 4x value, which is a solid upside.
Zhuric Phelps, SMU ($5,700)
This is a tough matchup for the Ponies, but Phelps feels too cheap. He is averaging 18.5 points per game and putting up good peripheral numbers as well. We would realistically be happy with around 25 DraftKings points at this price. He hasn't been under that mark since a blowout loss against New Mexico on November 15 and he hasn't been under 20 DraftKings points all year. There is a minimal chance of a total bust, which makes Phelps a risk I'm willing to take in any format.
Fletcher Loyer, Purdue ($4,600)
Loyer is an assassin on the perimeter. He has hit seven triples – against Duke and Gonzaga, no less – over the last two games and scored 32 points overall. Braden Smith gets better peripherals and is probably the guy you want in cash games, but I'm riding the hot shooting of Loyer at what is still a very reasonable price in a great matchup.
Also consider: Drew Peterson, USC ($9,500); RJ Davis, North Carolina ($8,900); Cam'Ron Fletcher, Florida State ($7,800); Devin Askew, California ($6,700); Jeremy Roach, Duke ($6,000); Bruce Thornton, Ohio State ($4,000); Tyrin Lawrence, Vanderbilt ($3,600)

DraftKings CBB DFS Forwards
Zach Edey, Purdue ($9,700)
Edey has only had one game under 40 DraftKings points (37.25 against Gonzaga). He's a lock until someone proves they can stop him. With the way Purdue is shooting from the perimeter, that seems unlikely. He's a double-double machine that will still add other peripheral stats.
Derrick Walker, Nebraska ($8,300)
Walker missed the first five games of the season with an undisclosed injury, but he has put up huge numbers in the two games he has played. Walker has 35 points, 25 rebounds, seven assists, a block, and a steal in those two games. Walker was a solid player for the Cornhuskers last year, but he seems to have taken a big step forward for this season. His shot has been true so far and he has been a monster on the glass. You know me...I have no issue riding the hot hand!
Clifford Omoruyi, Rutgers ($7,800)
Omoruyi has put up some huge numbers despite only playing a full complement of minutes in two of the six games thanks to blowout wins. This promises to be a close game with the Hurricanes, so we should see around 35 minutes of Omoruyi. In the two games in which he hit that mark, he had 43 points and 26 rebounds. He's a double-double waiting to happen and comes much cheaper than most other double-double threats.
Justice Sueing, Ohio State ($5,200)
When someone goes nuts on the Texas Tech defense, I take notice. Sueing put up 33 points, eight rebounds, and five assists, and even had two steals against the Red Raiders in the Maui Invitational. Sueing only played in two games last season due to injury, but he was a double-figure scorer in his two seasons with Cal and his first season with the Buckeyes in 2020-21. Did the Hawaii native just have a huge game in his home state? For this low price, it's worth seeing if he can do it again in GPP formats.
Also consider: Trayce Jackson-Davis, Indiana ($9,300); Norchad Omier, Miami ($8,600); Bryce Hopkins, Providence ($8,100); Daniel Batcho, Texas Tech ($7,400); Lars Thiemann, California ($6,200); Jakobe Coles, TCU ($4,600); Mawot Mag, Rutgers ($3,800)
