Today's DraftKings CBB DFS lineup picks for 12/2/25. Mike M's top daily fantasy college basketball sleepers to build winning NCAA DFS lineups on DraftKings.
With college football's regular season over, it's time to get some college basketball back on here! What better way to start than the opening night of the ACC/SEC Challenge?
We've got some big names and some great matchups today. We'll go through all of those for each slate. We'll give you the core pieces with which you can build a cash or GPP lineup. Then, we'll have some value plays to make it all fit. And for you Ricky Bobby types, we'll give you guys who have a great ceiling with a low floor because, "if you ain't first, you're last."
Here are my picks across all CBB DFS slates on Tuesday, December 2, with the main slate starting at 7 p.m. EST on DraftKings. The late slate starts at 9 p.m. EST.
Today's Main Slate DraftKings CBB DFS Lineup Picks
Best Matchups:
Wake Forest forwards vs. Oklahoma
Oklahoma guards vs. Wake Forest
Pittsburgh guards vs. Texas A&M
Core Pieces:
Cameron Boozer, Duke ($11.5K)
Cameron Boozer of @DukeMBB is the only Division I or NBA player in the last 30 seasons to have an 8-game span with:
175+ points
75+ rebounds
25+ assists
10 or fewer turnovers

It's hard to pay this for Boozer on a slate flush with star power, but do you really want to be left behind? He has at least 40 DraftKings points in every game except for Niagara. In that game, he only played 21 minutes and still came up with 32.8 DK points.
If the game stays close, Boozer can break the slate. He already topped 70 DK points in a game once this year. And we all thought that Cooper Flagg was good...
Cameron Corhen, Pittsburgh ($7.6K)
Corhen has been the most consistent player for the Panthers so far this year. He has at least 27 DK points in every game so far. Texas A&M presents a little more difficulty than most of his opponents so far, but Corhen was at his best in the closer games.
Nijel Pack, Oklahoma ($7.5K)
Pack is a mercenary scorer for hire, which is exactly what Oklahoma needs. As with the 2024-25 squad, the Sooners are prone to long stretches without points. The addition of Pack has helped in all but the Gonzaga game.
Pack has nailed at least four three-pointers in all but the Gonzaga game this year. He's an elite scorer who is a sneaky-good passer to help keep those peripherals up.
Value Pieces:
Josh Holloway, Texas A&M ($4.5K)
Since Holloway doesn't start, we can still get him on the cheap. There's some risk involved, but Holloway has been a consistent producer off the bench for the Aggies. He has at least 18 DK points in six of the eight games, despite not playing more than 18 minutes.
Urban Klavzar, Florida ($4.3K)
The Gators have been playing with guard rotations to see what fits in the early going. Klavzar is going to stick in the rotation. He has 38 points over the last two games as a starter.
Klavzar doesn't do much aside from scoring, but he's a good shooter on a team that loves offense. He'll get plenty of chances to hit value.
Pop Isaacs, Texas A&M ($4.2K)
Isaacs is still working his way into the A&M lineup after three hip surgeries in three years. The third cost him the rest of the season at Creighton last year in December.
Isaacs has become a reliable scorer for the Aggies and is starting to get more minutes. So far, his leg has responded well. We can only expect about 20-22 minutes out of Isaacs, but he has been very good in limited minutes.
Slate-Breaking Potential:
Braden Smith, Purdue ($10K)
2 years ago I did a countdown for Zach Edey & bis hunt for the Purdue career scoring record
I am going to do the same for assists for Braden Smith
Purdue doesn't play again until December 2
NCAA: Bobby Hurley 1076
BigTen: Cassius Winston 890
Smith 821— Dan Paddock (@DPaddock66) November 30, 2025
That highlights why Smith is always a good DFS play. He's an elite passer, but he can score when needed as well. If Rutgers can keep this game close, Smith could be in for a huge game.
In close games with Oakland, Alabama, and Akron, Smith scored a combined 65 points. He also put in 10 points against a good Texas Tech defense. Smith is great at setting up teammates, but he can take over a game if needed.
Bennett Stirtz, Iowa ($9.2K)
The Drake transfer has made it to the Big Ten and kept up his elite numbers. He is averaging 18.6 points and 5.4 assists per game. Those numbers will likely suffer a little against a really good Michigan State team, but the upside is there. If Stirtz gets hot, look out!
Jeremy Fears Jr., Michigan State ($7.7K)
Fears has been producing at a Smith level early this season. He has at least seven assists in every game, at least five rebounds in four of seven games, and has scored in double figures in four games. He'll get a triple-double before the season is over. Will Fears be in your lineup when he does?

Today's Late Slate DraftKings CBB DFS Lineup Picks
Best Matchups:
USC vs. Oregon
Oregon guards vs. USC
Connecticut frontcourt vs. Kansas
Georgia frontcourt vs. Florida State
Florida State frontcourt vs. Georgia
Core Pieces:
Caleb Wilson, North Carolina ($9.6K)

— Pitless (@pitlessball) December 1, 2025
While you're watching a true freshman abuse guys years older than him, just go add him to your lineups. Wilson has cleared 50 DK points twice in his first seven games. He hasn't been under 30 yet...not even against Michigan State.
Chad Baker-Mazara, USC ($8.5K)

— USC Men's Basketball (@USC_Hoops) November 25, 2025
The Auburn transfer has taken over the USC team. Only Seton Hall has held Baker-Mazara under 27 DK points (24), and he cleared 60 DK points in the thriller against Troy. That was a three-overtime game, so don't expect an output like that.
Baker-Mazara has a nice matchup against Oregon here. He has been a better scorer than last year while still doing the work on the glass.
Henri Veesaar, North Carolina ($7.7K)
The Arizona transfer is playing a lot of minutes for the Tar Heels. The Wildcats never let him. Now we're seeing what Arizona was missing out on.
Veesaar has scored in double figures in every game and hit double figures in rebounding three times. He's also a good rim protector and underrated passer. Veesaar can do a little of everything and will thrive in the up-tempo game against Kentucky.
Value Pieces:
Jacob Crews, Missouri ($4.5K)
Crews has played at least 20 minutes in each of the last five games. He has become a larger part of the Missouri rotation and has the stats to show for it. He's a very good shooter from anywhere on the court and a strong rebounder for his size.
Sebastian Mack, Missouri ($4.4K)
The UCLA transfer has done a good job in the Missouri backcourt, mostly playing off the ball. Mack has come through as a better scorer, but can still make passes to get his teammates good shots. There's good upside for the price.
Somtochukwu Cyril, Georgia ($4.2K)
Cyril is a raw prospect, but he is disruptive when he's in there. He's an elite rim protector. Cyril has at least two blocks in all but one game so far this year, despite only playing about 18 minutes per game.
Cyril is also a really good rebounder, but is a liability on offense. When Georgia needs scoring, Cyril pulls up a chunk of bench.
Slate-Breaking Potential:
Darryn Peterson, Kansas ($9K)
Peterson hasn't played in nearly a month thanks to a hamstring injury, but he was spotted at practice this week and is expected to return tonight. Peterson is an elite talent in an elite class of freshmen.
He's a lethal scorer from anywhere on the court. Peterson is still refining other areas of his game and will only get better. There's a risk using him in his first game back, but Peterson was outstanding in the first two games this year, putting up 73.7 DK points in 51 minutes.
Rodney Rice, USC ($8.7K)
Rice hurt his shoulder in Maui against Seton Hall, but could make his return tonight. If he does, Rice is worth using. He had huge games against Illinois State, Troy, and Boise. He notched a triple-double in the Illinois State game.
Markus Burton, Notre Dame ($7.9K)
Burton is one of the better scorers in college basketball this season, but he's active everywhere else as well. Burton's play kept the Irish in the game against Houston and led them to a win against Rutgers.
This won't be an easy matchup, but Burton is as accurate as he is efficient. If the peripheral numbers stay up, Burton could be a steal at this price.
