Because there is an NFL slate today and a big CFB bowl slate, there’s really not much for CBB contest selection on DraftKings, so this is a little bit more geared towards the betting aspect on these games.
As a reminder, my approach for CBB DFS is to build around 1 or 2 main games but I rarely go above 4 players from a single game and no more than 2 players from a single team unless there is a TON of cheap value on a specific team. The reason mainly is that it’s just hard to find enough points from going deep into a single spot.
Often times I will approach it as a 3-3-2 type build taking 3 players from Game A, 3 players from Game B and then my favorite one offs or 2 players from a third game. Building a 3-2-2-1 approach is also logical many times and sometimes a 4-2-2 works as well.
Alabama vs Gonzaga
The marquee game on this slate and a couple free square options in this one for DFS. I almost never pay 10k+ for a DFS player in College Hoops and won’t be doing that with Drew Timme but Julian Strawther should smash for the Zags.
- Bama: Jahvon Quinerly, Mark Sears
- Gonzaga: Julian Strawther
Ohio State vs North Carolina
This is a very interesting game and I don’t think that Ohio State will be able to contain Armando Bacot. Assuming he stays out of foul trouble he is my favorite pay up player.
- Ohio State: Brice Sensabaugh, Zed Key
- UNC: Armando Bacot
Providence vs Seton Hall
- Providence: Bryce Hopkins, Noah Locke (Value)
- Seton Hall: Tyrese Samuel, Kadary Richmond
