CBB DFS – January 18th

I really do not like the value plays tonight and unless we get some late news I think you can get by without forcing in a chalky value play on this slate.  All the ones with some favorable spots have fairly limited ceilings.

UNC (-2.5) at Miami

This really should wind up being a smash game, the Miami roster to me has zero chance of containing Armando Bacot without him going into early foul trouble, so lock him in even at the 9k price if you want exposure on this game.

Everyone on Miami is priced up quite a bit considering they give us 4 guys who will all contribute fairly evenly.  So in short, this winds up not being a 4 man stack spot.

South Carolina at Arkansas (+12)

This isn’t really what we consider much of a pace up game for either team because they are both high pace teams to begin with who defend fairly well.  But it’s a nice spot to target for some high ceiling value plays on both ends.

  • Erik Stevenson – 7200
  • Wildens Leveque – 4600
  • Keshawn Bryant – 3200
  • JD Notae – 8200
  • Jaylin Williams – 7000

Other spots we’re looking at

Kansas vs Oklahoma

Kansas is starting to really click as a team but OU is always tough at home.  I expect this to be a very close game with OT potential in it.

Syracuse vs Clemson

Syracuse remains a very favorable team to stack with limited rotation and mid range pricing.

UNC Basketball: Armando Bacot season review - Tar Heel BlogArmando Bacot – North Carolina (9000)

It appears the theme in College Basketball this week is going to be big men.  We had the battle of three bigs in the Purdue-Illinois double OT game yesterday and we have a bunch of big men who are at the front of this slate.

Specifically, Mr. Bacot who should carve up the interior for Miami so long as he doesn’t commit two lazy fouls being on the road in the first five minutes.

Other $$$:

  • Ochai Agbaji – Kansas
  • Kameron McGusty – Miami
  • JD Notae – Arkansas
  • Johnny Davis – Wisconsin
  • Santiago Vescovi – Tennessee

Sanogo Big East Freshman Of Week, Cole On Honor Roll - University of Connecticut Athletics

Adama Sanogo – UCONN (6500)

This is just comical pricing still on DraftKings part.  Normally I would say do not chase someone coming off 48 and 65 point games when just blindly looking at things.  But even if Sanogo drops down to a 32 point game here tonight in a slower tempo game vs Butler he is still going to exceed value at $6,500.  Minutes and talent aren’t any issue and he should be about 7400.

Other $$:

  • RJ Davis – UNC
  • Cole Swider – Syracuse
  • Al-Amir Dawes – Clemson
  • Jalen Wilson – Kansas
  • Tanner Groves – Oklahoma
  • Moussa Diabate – Michigan

Tye Fagan – Ole Miss

I am not a fan of Fagan that much, but I love Ole Miss tonight as a team and he is sub 4k who can hit 20 fantasy points if the home town scoring is generous with assists.

Wildens Leveque – South Carolina

What’s one more big man on this slate?  With such a good tempo and good defenses we figure to see some more rebound opportunities which is the primary way Leveque will contribute (12% off reb and 14% def reb).

Other $:

  • Jordan Goldwire – Oklahoma
  • Mathew Murrell – Ole Miss
  • AuDiese Toney – Arkansas
  • Gabe Kalscheur – Iowa State
  • Ryan Young – Wisconsin

Nysier Brooks – Ole Miss – $7,500

Centers have really done well against the Mizzou Tigers and Brooks should have a good advantage against the Tigers bigs tonight.  He went for 47 against Miss St earlier this month and was limited when Ole Miss faced tougher opponents in Auburn/Texas A&M and Tennessee.  The Tigers allow the highest eFG% and 2nd most FPPG to centers within the SEC conference.
