CBB DFS: The ONIONS – Jan 31

There’s not a ton in the mid range tonight which kinda makes going full game stack a little difficult the way I build lineups (3-2-2-1 usually).  We also have some value that’s open on the TCU back-court due to an injury to Mike Miles Jr.

Northwestern at Iowa

Gimme an Iowa game at home against a team with some good guards as the top spot.  I believe Murray could be a little lower owned than normal tonight so this is the favorite pay up stack.

  • NW:  Boo Buie/Chase Audige, Brooks Barnhizer
  • IOWA:  Kris Murray, Connor McCaffery

West Virginia at TCU

Good game to stack, two teams with up tempo styles and their defensive metrics are a little inflated IMO.  Lots of value on the TCU side due to Mike Miles being out, so Shahada Wells is someone I really want to jump on tonight and Jakobe Coles should hit value here too.

  • WVU:   Erik Stevenson, Jimmy Bell
  • TCU:  Shahada Wells, Jakobe Coles

UCONN at DePaul

Best of luck figuring out this UCONN team right now.  One minute they look fantastic with Hawkins, Sanogo, Newton and Jackson clicking, the next minute their offense looks lost and confused.  Going into DePaul they should have plenty of chances to get easy buckets and if they flop here then just shut it down…

  • UCONN:   Jordan Hawkins, Alex Karaban
  • DPU:   Caleb Murphy

Kansas St at Kansas

A quick re-match from what was a great game in Manhattan which finished 83-82.  The Jayhawks looked solid in the second half against Kentucky and are prime to play a lock down game here tonight, but in DFS I suspect we’ll benefit with lots of steals and easy transition buckets.  K St could not stop Jalen Wilson at home, but in a game where the Jayhawks are up I believe it’ll be Dick, McCullar and Harris who provide the best value

  • KST:   Keyonte Johnson, Desi Sills
  • KANSAS:    Gradey Dick, Kevin McCuller, DeJuan Harris

GUARDS

Boo Buie – NW – 7800 … Either him or Chase is where I would center around lineups and exposure from Northwestern.

Jordan Miller – Miami – 7400 … Happy Jordan Miller versus the team who didn’t give him enough attention out of high school (Virginia Tech) night.  I think the total on this game might miss the mark but Miller is someone likely to step up to help Miami close out.  Right now it’s him and Wong carrying them.

Jeremy Roach – Duke – 5700 … Way too cheap of a price here on Roach against Wake, which has struggled with PG.  Roach’s scoring should go up tonight.

Jordan Hawkins – UCONN – 7900

Erik Stevenson – WVU – 6900

 

FORWARDS

Kris Murray – Iowa – 9000 … Murray’s price has dipped where I’ll bite.  Forward is pretty blah tonight in the mid range so it’s a pay up and find value night here.

JaKobe Coles – TCU – 5000 … Bigs vs WV, cheap price, at home.  4x very likely.

Jalen Wilson – Kansas – 9500 … Not as a game stack with other guys because if he is hitting 4x then that means others wont hit value.

Alex Karaban – UCONN – 6500

 

UTIL / VALUE

Shahada Wells (G) – TCU – 4100 … TCU cheap guys will be popular and Wells is fine to trust.

Trey Thomas (G) – Vanderbilt – 4500 … Bama is an overrated team and we are seeing them get exposed.  Lack of consistency from the guards defensively is one reason why.  If Thomas can hit a few three’s here tonight he’ll go for 4x.

RJ Melendez (G) – Illinois – 3400

Noah Gurley (F) – Alabama – 3500 … Ceiling is limited for sure, but if Bama does get going he could see more minutes.

RJ Godfrey (F) – Clemson – 3500

Tye Fagan (G) – Ole Miss – 3200
