CBB DFS: Feb 12th

I got a bone to pick.  Yeah, with you mother nature.  Listen, I am in love with nice weather and all, but you couldn’t have the snow happen on a day like today?  Pfft.  Anyways, great set of games today folks, lets enjoy the Onions!

Best DFS Games

Arkansas at Alabama

I did not know who Arkansas was going to play next after their storm the court win earlier this week over Auburn.  Holy smoke balls this is DFS gold right here for Alabama.  All these teams know how to do is play fast and for sure Alabama is going to win.

  • Jaden Shackelford  (Bama)
  • Jahvon Quinnerly (Bama)
  • AuDiese Toney (Arkansas)

South Carolina at Georgia

Extremely solid tempo game, the Cocks play at the 53rd fastest pace and Georgia is 81st.  Georgia’s defense is what everyone will attack with South Carolina but the Cocks lately haven’t been stout either.

  • Jalen Cook (Georgia)
  • Braelen Bridges (Georgia)
  • James Reese (South Carolina)
  • KeShawn Bryant (South Carolina)

Florida State at North Carolina

Really good game to attack, the FSU side is generally ignored by many because they play a deep bench but the pricing is very good in a rare tempo boost for the Seminoles.

  • Caleb Mills (FSU)
  • John Butler (FSU)
  • Armando Bacot (UNC)
  • RJ Davis (UNC)

Miami at Wake

Wake is playing very well and this is another game where Jake LaRavia should thrive.  He has been eating into the ceiling of Alondes Williams but not too much.  Both are great stud plays in this spot and I expect 38 from Alondes and 35 from LaRavia today.  Both worthy of anchoring a stack in this game.

  • LaRavia (or Williams) (Wake)
  • Charlie Moore (Miami)

Sleeper Game

West Virginia at Oklahoma State

In another world this game would be your big GPP or qualifier winner.  But with so many good games above it I find it hard for these two teams to win a tournament unless we get 2OT.

  • Taz Sherman – WVU
  • Jalen Bridges – WVU
  • Isaac Likekele – OK St
  • Avery Anderson – OK St

Caleb Mills – Florida State

It’s very likely Caleb Mills is once again chalky, and if not then people are idiots.  His profile has killed North Carolina and with his consistent usage, shot and minute rates there’s no reason to think at $6500 he wont thrive here today.

Jahvon Quinerly – Alabama

Alabama takes a ton of three’s.  Arkansas doesn’t defend the three very well with a fast tempo transition.  This game is likely to push towards that 157 total even if both teams shoot poorly in the first half.  Gimme the home town side with Quinnerly to have a monster game and be the safer value play than his counterparts.

Elijah Harkless – Oklahoma

In a tough game the Sooners will have to let Harkless play a good amount.  With a limited set of options in the sub 5500 range that aren’t Gamecocks I would consider him a key player for lineups today.

Tier 1 – $$$ Players:

  • Jahvon Quinerly – Bama
  • JD Notae – Arkansas
  • Armando Bacot – UNC
  • Jabari Smith – Bama
  • Justin Moore – Nova
  • Trayce Jackson-Davis – Indiana

Tier 2 – $$ Players:

  • Caleb Mills – FSU
  • Aaron Cook – Georgia
  • RJ Davis – UNC
  • Charlie Moore – Miami
  • Josh Carlton – Houston

Tier 3 – $ Players:

This is a rough tier today, we will want to monitor for any late news on starters in the high tempo games.  Otherwise just take the Cocks and pray.

  • Elijah Harkless – Oklahoma
  • KeShawn Bryant – South Carolina
  • James Reese – South Carolina
  • John Butler – FSU
  • Jermaine Couisnard – South Carolina

Avery Anderson – Oklahoma State

I really like this game as a sneaky spot today.  Anderson should be called upon more with WVU’s pressure and he has been very consistent for the Cowboys with two games of late going over 5x.  Expect a minutes bump today and his steady 24% usage to remain in play giving him a chance at a 30 spot for a low cost.
