CBB DFS: Feb 19th

Blake Wesley / Dane Goodwin (Notre Dame)

Both Notre Dame players are likely to play 35+ minutes and each carry 20-25%+ usate for the Irish in a tempo boost down at Wake Forest.  Look for this to be one of the premiere games on the slate for DFS production with the Irish guards carrying their weight.

EJ Liddell (Ohio State)

Everyone and their brother (and sister) is gonna be out here touting both EJ Liddell and the Big O, Oscar Tshiebwe.  I honestly don’t fault either, sorry, I know that is a major cop out, but my money will be on Liddell because I know Iowa will score and push the pace where as I expect Kentucky to put up some stops on Alabama and try to slow that game down.  Slight lean for Liddell.

Sahvir Wheeler (Kentucky)

Good chance we get at ceiling game from Wheeler today.  They’re at home and getting a nice pace boost against a team which should benefit an offensive minded player like him.

Keshawn Bryant (South Carolina)

Looks like he is finally going to be a consistent option for us but his price remains low.  Take advantage against LSU who struggles in road afternoon games.

Rest of the player pool

James Akinjo (Baylor) … Very close to a core favorite today.  Has 30+ in three straight, shoots the 3 ball well and is gonna have to carry Baylor.

Adama Sonogo (UCONN)

Alfonso Plummer (Illinois)

Xavier Pinson (LSU)

Paul Scruggs (Xavier)

El Ellis (Louisville)

I am mostly interested in games which I believe are going to be closely contested today, and that is how I landed on these four games.

Best DFS Games

LSU at South Carolina

The Cocks are cheap and Darius Days is my sneaky ONIONS play today.  Makes this a game we can get heavy on with a 3 or 4 man stack out of.  Just beware of that LSU dud game on a mid-afternoon Saturday road game which they tend to have.

  • LSU:  Xavier Pinson, Darius Days
  • South Carolina:   KeShawn Bryant, Erik Stevenson

Notre Dame at Wake Forest

  • Notre Dame:  Blake Wesley
  • Wake:  Jake LaVaria

Xavier at UCONN

  • Xavier: Paul Scruggs, Zach Freemantle
  • UCONN: RJ Cole, Adama Sanogo

Iowa at Ohio State

  • Iowa:  Patrick McCaffery
  • Ohio State:  EJ Liddell

Darius Days – LSU Tigers

While I will be taking South Carolina +4.5 and think they can win, this is not a spot to ignore the Tigers on either.  The pace is gonna be really good and Days form is good + the matchup looks really good on the model
