DraftKings College Basketball: High-end Guard

JARRETT CULVER (Texas Tech, $8,900) – Culver had been beating reasonable projections for five-consecutive games until last out at home against Arkansas on Saturday. The Red Raiders have a projected team total just under 70, but Culver seems to get his.

DraftKings College Basketball: Mid-Tier Guard

TRE JONES (Duke, $6,000) – Jones returned to the starting lineup after a two-plus game absence and played, oh, 35 minutes. This freshman plays well beyond his years already ane easily carries a 10-point upside with this price tag.

DraftKings College Basketball: Value Guard

JAMAL BIENIEMY (Oklahoma, $4,500) – The freshman has been terrific since jumping into the starting lineup and his price tag hasn’t caught up yet. Last game, Bieniemy didn’t even score. That’s shouldn’t scare you away, he still put up 24 fantasy points for just $200 less than this.

DraftKings College Basketball: High-end Forward

R.J. BARRETT (Duke, $9.800) – You might have to make a choice between Barrett and teammate Zion Williamson but we’ll opt for Barrett at this price. Williamson commands $1.1k more but the pair could easily be priced more equally considering their production.

DraftKings College Basketball: Mid-tier Forward

Jack White (Duke, $5,600) – White has been a fantasy failure for the better part of his last six outings but the matchup of the team’s benches looks strong in the Blue Devils’ favor. White started three-straight games before being limited to an uncharacteristic 11 minutes on Saturday.
