Obviously a ton of basketball right now and tonight has 12 games for the DK DFS main slate.
Pay Up Studs
David Jones – DePaul – $6900
There is a 2500 difference between Jones and Javon Freeman-Liberty for the Blue Demons, so on a big slate with lots of good mid range options I give the heavy lean to the $2500 discount even though JFL has a 60 potential in overtime games while Jones is likely in that 35-40 point upside, but you wont be disappointed either way.
Jack Nunge – Xavier – $7600
Recent form is cold for Nunge, but the Johnni’es will warm anyone up. I like pairing him with Paul Scruggs in a game stack.
Tyrese Martin – UCONN – $7200
UCONN is finally healthy and the minutes are settling in for everyone but Martin is one player who will avoid foul trouble and between his Rebounding (26%), assist (12%) and eFG (52%) rates he is a solid cash/core play.
Other Pay up: Michael Devoe (GT), JD Notae (ARK), Jamison Battle (Minn), Walker Kessler (AUB)

Middle Range
Jaeden Zackery – Boston College – $6100
This is a game I just kind of like tonight. BC and Miami can play some 65-63 barn burners that just die and at home the Eagles likely are a good upset pick taking the 4 points. If that happens, Zackery likely keeps his recent hot streak going as he is playing nearly a full 38 minutes per game and is contributing in many ways.
Other: Matthew Cleveland (FSU), Quenton Jackson (TA&M), Darryl Morssel (Marquette), DJ Jefferies (Miss St)

Sub 5500 Value
Arthur Kaluma – Creighton – $4500
The entire Big East has turned off playing defense of late, so take the over in this UCONN/Creighton game and the slate needs some solid value – which Kaluma at $4500 should bring.
Other: AuDiese Toney (ARK), Ian Schieffelin (Clemson)

LSU at Arkansas
LSU’s three point shooters (Days, Pinson, Murray) are in good spots here and LSU should draw from the Razorbacks faster tempo to play fast ball too. Love Xavier Pinson.

Xavier Pinson – LSU – Guard – $6,600
Pinson is second on the Tigers in three point attempts and likely benefits the most with the improved tempo at Arkansas. He has a 32% assist rate and in two of their last four games has gone above what would be 5x tonight with a 42 point outing two games ago vs Kentucky.
