Pretty large Saturday in CBB DFS land and I wish they would have bumped things up even more in the Contest Lobby. We have 12 games today, another Bracket Mania Qualifier and after this weekend we SHOULD see the contests boost as there is no Saturday DFS until Baseball besides CBB
DePaul at Providence
Providence is a very tough place to play in and DePaul is not great defensively, so the Friars should win this game, but Big East covers haven’t exactly been easy of late for many teams. If DePaul can hang around then this one can go over 150, making the 146.5 a very tempting over and this one a nice game stack spot.
- DPU: Nelson, Gibson
- PROV: Croswell, Carter
Miami at Duke
This one is definitely near and dear to my heart as the two Loudoun County, VA stars should have been facing off once again but Jeremy Roach is a GTD at best and is trending towards not playing today for Duke.
We want 3PT shooters against Miami, which means that Tyrese Proctor or Kyle Filipowski for the Dukies is probably going to hit value easily and while Filipowski carries a hefty price tag he does have double-double upside too.
- MIAMI: Miller, Pack
- DUKE: Proctor, Filipowski
TCU at Kansas
The BIG 12 is so much fun this season and part of the reason for that is we really do not have a singular dominant team in my mind. Kansas is great, probably the best coached unit and coming off a tough road loss at Kansas State now gets a get right game at home.
- TCU: Miles
- KANSAS: Adams, Dick
Sleeper game of the day …
Syracuse at Georgia Tech
- SYR: Mintz, Edwards
- GT: Kelly, Sturdivant
Miles Kelly – Georgia Tech – $6,000 … Averages 6+ 3 point attempts per game and vs the Syracuse defense that should result in a very good game. His price is too hard to pass up as well.
Ed Croswell – Providence – $7700 … Croswell should tear up DePaul inside. He has a high offensive rebounding rate which should be a benefit in a good tempo game.
GUARDS
High $
- Terry Roberts – Georgia
- Umoja Gibson – DePaul
- Jordan Miller – Miami … Mr. Do everything for Miami is going to have his hands full on defense, but that’s a good thing. Look for some steal upside today.
- Jaylen Clark – UCLA
- Devin Cater – Providence
- Gradey Dick – Kansas
Mid $
- Tyrese Proctor – Duke … 3 ball upside
- Kerr Kriisa – Arizona
- Nijel Pack – Miami
- David Singleton
Value $
- Bruce Thornton – Ohio State
- Kyle Sturdivant – Georgia Tech
FORWARDS
High $
- Kyle Filipowski – Duke
- Kris Murray – Iowa … Probably the most popular pay up spot today, he needs a 50 burger but is very capable of it. Dont love the game being in Ohio State though. I’ll fade on main lineup.
Mid $
- KJ Adams – Kansas
- Zed Key – Ohio State
- DaSean Nelson – DePaul
Value $
- Braelen Bridges – Georgia … A guy who can do so much more if he just gets more playing time. Good value play at home today in a sneaky game as well.
- Osun Osunniyi – Iowa State
- Lee Dort – Vanderbilt … Very cheap, won’t go over 20 FPTS, but should hit 4x.
CONTRARIAN ONIONS! PLAY
Terry Roberts – Georgia … Vanderbilt is 149th in the nation defensively and allows a 0.81+ DvP boost here for Roberts. Game should be close and Roberts has a 36% usage rate over the last 2 weeks for the Bulldogs and has the home scoring advantage for his 32% high assist rate.
