Happy Pac-12/West Coast Thursday night in the DFS world. The Pac-12 isn’t as good as it was last year overall but they have been having some really good inter conference games recently and things are once again setting up for them to be a sneaky out in the tournament as the competition is preparing them well for tournament play.
I cannot say the same for the putrid ACC, what a dumpster fire of a conference but we have a nice ACC game today with Duke and Clemson.
Best DFS Games
Purdue at Michigan
Purdue should be favored by 10. That’s the massive advantage they have in this game, which really smells like a trap spot off their big showdown at home vs Illinois.
So if that happens, it means Eli Brooks for Michigan has a big night. Both him and DaVaonte Jones make this a game stack spot loading up those two from Michigan with Trevion Williams from Purdue, although Edey at $6,700 is damn tempting and likely chalky I prefer Trevion being the wild card off the bench.
Iowa at Maryland
Keegan Murray should light up the Terps. He has to get 50 though to hit value, so I will not be forcing that option with plenty of pivots.
Fatts Russell, Eric Ayala and Donta Scott are all in play from Maryland. Russell is the highest ranked of the bunch.
Decent Spots
Arizona State at Washington
This one isn’t much better. Washington will win but Kimani Lawrence is a top tier play for Arizona State. 9300 for Terrell Brown? Not here… PJ Fuller is a value option.
Arizona at Washington State
I think Washington State matchups up well with Arizona and can hang with them. Take the under in this game and some of the value being presented on the Washington State side who gets a boost.
Duke at Clemson
Lock and load in on PJ Hall, he had 35 fpts in their prior meeting and has back to back games over 38 fantasy points. He’s playing really well and doing all he can to keep Clemson in games.
Almost everyone on Duke is a bit too pricey for what you can expect. AJ Griffin has the most upside though at $6,000.
Garbage, Move on
Stanford at Oregon
Harrison Ingram – Stanford
Spencer Jones – Stanford
DeVion Harman – Oregon
Pacific at Gonzaga
This game shouldn’t be on the slate. Stupid for including it and lets move on.

Fatts Russell – Maryland
80% minute,s 25% usage, 25% assist rate and shooting enough from long distance to general Maryland vs the high scoring Hawkeyes.
Trevion Williams – Purdue
I suspect Edey draws ownership with his price dropping below Williams’, but the PF is playing very well in his bench role and should draw enough minutes away from Hunter Dickinson that I think he has the best ceiling game on Purdue.
PJ Hall – Clemson
Hall has had to do it all lately for Clemson – over their last four he leads the Tigers in usage and shot rate by a wider margin than at any point this season and will need to do that again tonight for the Tigers to win.
Eli Brooks – Michigan
Guards are giving Purdue some challenges, especially when a team can play 3 at a time. Michigan isn’t likely to go very small but Brooks and Jones should both be on your radar, his $5,400 price makes him one of the better core plays.
Kimani Lawrence – Arizona State
Washington is a very bad rebounding team, so for a $6,100 price tag, there’s not much in the way of Lawrence doing damage.

Value Plays: Eli Brooks, Jordan Bohannon, Jaiden Delaire, Eric Williams Jr
Michael Flowers – Washington State
Very good recent form on Flowers with shooting logs of 6-9, 7-14 and 5-11 over his last three. With the fast Arizona tempo coming into town he should have his fourth straight 30+ point performance.
