The holiday tournaments and crazy DraftKings tournament start times are over, so that's when I come out! I hope everyone is ready for another action-packed college basketball season! We have seven games on this DraftKings slate with some big names all over the place. The early tip is a battle of the Bulldogs in Indy with Yale visiting Butler. The 7 pm hour brings Clean Old-Fashioned Hate (the basketball version) to Atlanta and Illinois and Texas at Madison Square Garden. It promises to be better than the Knicks!
The 8 pm hour gives us Virginia hosting James Madison, Maryland heading to Madison, and Sam Houston State heading up to Stillwater. We finish this one off with the second part of the MSG double-dip with Iowa and Duke. This is a great one!
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 12/6/22 starting at 6:30 pm Eastern. I’ll provide multiple player suggestions for players 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
Jahmir Young, Maryland ($8,000)
Young has at least 35 DraftKings points in each of the last three games. His scoring is picking up of late and his strong peripheral numbers haven't taken a hit. When someone goes for 24 points on the Illini, I take notice. Young is running hot right now and though Wisconsin is a scrappy team, but they aren't the defensive stalwarts that they have been in the past.
Chuck Harris, Butler ($6,200)
Harris has cleared 40 DraftKings points twice already this season. Find me another guy in this price range that can claim that. Harris has at least 15 actual points in three straight games and played the entire game in two of those three games. Harris plays a ton of minutes and is the focal point of this offense. Butler has been a better-scoring team so far this season. It's a crime for Harris to be this cheap.
Miles Kelly, Georgia Tech ($5,900)
I recommended Kelly last week as well. Since then, his strong play has earned him a starting spot for the Wreck. He has responded by scoring in double figures in each of his three starts while still putting up strong peripheral stats. He's not as much of a bargain anymore, but he's still putting up good numbers for the price.
Jusaun Holt, Georgia ($3,600)
Holt has quietly worked his way into the Georgia starting five. He's an afterthought on offense most of the time, but he's active on defense and crashes the boards as well as anyone on the team. His defensive prowess makes Holt a strong play when you absolutely need some output from a value play. His ceiling isn't high, but the floor seems to be safe thanks to his defense.
Also consider: Terrence Shannon, Illinois ($8,700); Marcus Carr, Texas ($8,200); Chucky Hepburn, Wisconsin ($7,300); Kihei Clark, Virginia ($6,400); Eric Hunter, Butler ($6,000); Donte Powers, Sam Houston State ($5,500); RJ Melendez, Illinois ($5,200); Caleb Asberry, Oklahoma State ($4,000)

DraftKings CBB DFS Forwards
Kris Murray, Iowa ($9,000)
No, you're not hallucinating. Keegan Murray is still in Sacramento. His twin brother Kris is still in Iowa City. One peep at the stats and you would swear that Keegan was still there. Kris is averaging 21 points, 10.6 rebounds, and a block per game. He was an absolute monster against Georgia Tech last week, putting up 31 points and 20 rebounds. He won't do that against Duke, but 40 DraftKings points is once again a real possibility.
Coleman Hawkins, Illinois ($7,300)
After a huge game in the opener, Hawkins struggled for much of the next three weeks. He put all concerns aside with a triple-double against Syracuse last week and another strong game against Maryland over the weekend. Texas has the size to match up with Hawkins, but I still don't think they can contain him. He might not net a double-double here but scoring 20 points isn't out of the question.
Jalon Moore, Georgia Tech ($6,100)
Since his promotion to the starting lineup, Moore has 39 points and 25 rebounds in three games. He's getting close to double-doubles every time he steps on the court right now. The upside is there for Moore since he is starting to add some defensive stats as well. When Moore breaks through, I'm going to be on that train. I've been playing him when he's on the slate.
Braelen Bridges, Georgia ($5,600)
Injuries forced Bridges into action, but his strong play has forced the hand of the coaches. Bridges has 31 points and 21 rebounds over the last two games in just 49 minutes. He's doing a little bit of everything for the Bulldogs up front right now, including protecting the rim (four blocks). He has huge potential against Georgia Tech and should be a starter before too long if he keeps this up.
Also consider: Manny Bates, Butler ($8,600); Tyler Wahl, Wisconsin ($8,100); Jayden Gardner, Virginia ($6,800); Mezie Offurum, James Madison ($6,000); Matt Knowling, Yale ($5,400); Isaiah Kelly, Yale ($4,300)
