HIGH END $$$
Keve Aluma – VT – 7400
After we nailed Mutts yesterday I will flip the coin over to Keve Aluma today. Both are going to have 30 fantasy points and Aluma should be the lower owned one so the leverage of having him is why I’ll put my stake here.
- Paolo Banchero – Duke – 9800
- Jalen Pickett – Penn State – 7000
- Bennedict Mathurin – Arizona – 7500
- Jaime Jacquez – UCLA – 7100 … I am very curious to see what his ownership will end up being. This isn’t a game I suspect many look at but Jaime has three straight 40+ games. Does the trend continue? I personally see Juzang playing well here but he has been struggling of late after returning from an ankle injury.
Contrarian: Ryan Hawkins (Creighton), Scotty Pippen (Vandy)
Chalk Fade: Oscar Tshiebwe – Kentucky – 10.1k

MID RANGE $$
Isaiah Wong, Jordan Miller – Miami
All in on the ACC and the PAC-12 games for game stacks today and these guys are going to play lots of minutes in a good tempo game and are the safest plays I see on Miami.
Trevion Williams – Purdue – 6600
This is a bargain against the soft Penn State Interior Defense the only question is will they stay close enough for him to get 25+ minutes. I would correlate him with Jalen Pickett from Penn State.
- RJ Cole – UCONN – 6600
- JJ James – Tennessee – 6500 … If the Vols are draining the three’s this game is over.
- Johnny Juzang – UCLA – 6200 … Still hasn’t clicked yet, good spot to do that.
- Tolu Smith – Miss St – 6600
- Mike Miles – TCU – 6700
- Jalen Wilson – Kansas – 6800

VALUE $
KJ Simpson – Colorado – 3500
Being that we have some good studs on this slate and this is a sub 4k player who will give us 5x potential I find it hard to not just take him and move on in a game which should have a lot of points and possessions in it.
- Jeremy Roach – Duke – 4500
- Max Christie – Michigan State – 4100 … Coming off a big game yesterday, should be a popular value play today.
- Dajaun Harris – Kansas – 5000
- Shakeel Moore – Miss St – 4000
- Micah Peavy – TCU – 4000

Colorado vs Arizona
Pac-12 teams have stopped playing defense long ago and this is going to only continue into the tournament. Take advantage of it.
- Colorado: Jabari Walker, Evan Battery, KJ Simpson
- Arizona: Bennedict Mathurin, Pelle Larson/Justin Kier (Value)
Miami (FL) vs Duke
The Hurricanes give Duke fits and should make this a very competitive game today. They also will struggle defensively in my mind against Duke to make Banchero and Moore viable picks. If Banchero wants too he can drop a 50 in this spot.
This game also features two kids I watched in middle school (yeah Ive said it a few hundred times), helped coach one of them and coached against the other. They both had big games yesterday and only I will roster them today. Jordan Miller and Jeremy Roach.
- Miami: Isaiah Wong, Jordan Miller
- Duke: Paolo Banchero, Jeremy Roach
UCONN vs Villanova
Either go all in on this game hoping for close and overtime result or avoid it. It is easy to stack though.
- UCONN: RJ Cole, Isaiah Whaley, Adama Sanogo
- NOVA: Collin Gillespie, Justin Moore

Other viable games to target players from (one offs mostly)
- Virginia Tech vs UNC
- USC vs UCLA
- TCU vs Kansas
[spacer height=”20px”]
The Onions! play is my favorite play on the slate to have a 6x or better game.
Bennedict Mathurin – Arizona
Arizona will drop down without Kerr Kriisa and this should be a showcase game for Mathurin.
