The Sunday slate may be a bit underwhelming especially after a stacked slate on Saturday, but still offers some fun matchups. The featured slate on Draft Kings starts at 6:30 and Fan Duel’s main slate wasn’t the evening games so we will focus on DK. Due to COVID we have seen conferences that play round robin format schedule teams to play the two games in close window of time. That is why for the second straight week on the Sunday slate we will see St. Johns and Georgetown matchup against each other. That is the first fame of the slate and will get underway at 6:30 on FS1. In their first meeting it was Georgetown winning in OT 97-96 and I expect this game to also be a track meet. At 7 #4 Michigan St Spartans will travel to face Northwestern on Big Ten Network. At 8:30 we have a very intriguing matchup between undefeated St. Louis and Minnesota, game can be seen on FS1. The slate will wrap up with a Pac-12 matchup between Colorado and Washington at 10pm (Pac-12 Network). In a day where you fantasy football team may have been bounced from the playoffs, lets try and make some cash in college hoops.
Games by order of O/U
Georgetown @ SJ 6:30 FS1pm 156.5
#4 Michigan St @ NW 7pm BTN- 149.5
St. Louis @ Minnesota 8:30pm FS1- 146
Colorado @ Washington 10pm Pac-12 Network- 134.5
| Top Guards |
| Player | Team | Opp. | DK $ | DK FPPG | FD $ | FD FPPG |
| Marcus Carr | MINN | STL | 8700 | 38 | | |
| The Big 10 is loaded with great players but while he doesn't get the praise others do he is clearly one of the conference's best players. The Canadian junior guard leads the Gophers in points (22.7 ppg) and assists (5.9). Carr is more of an attacking the basket guard but is also a capable 3-point shooter at 38.9%. In a game against MSU look for Minnesota to really lean on their guard in this one. |
| McKinley Wright IV | UC | UW | 8300 | 34.55 | | |
| McKinley Wright IV is first team all-PAC-12 for a reason. The senior guard paces the Buffalo's attack with 17.6 ppg and 5.8 apg. For a guy who is only 6 feet tall he adds 5 rpg as well. Always love a guard that can rebound but what I really love about Wright is that he is extremely efficient. He is shooting 64.8% from the floor, this a guard we are talking about. He doesn't shoot a ton of 3s, averaging 3 attempts per game, but he picks his spots well and shoots 46.7 from deep. |
| Jahvon Blair | GU | STJN | 7500 | 30.42 | | |
| Last week's game against St. Johns was a high scoring afair and Blair certainly did his part in getting the 97-94 OT win. Blair had 20 points and 5 assists for the Hoyas. I expect another high scoring game between these two teams and blair to certainly be involved. If you want to take a little risk go with Dante Harris ($5100) as a paydown option, he led all Hoyas in scoring with 23 against the Johnnies last week. |
| Javonte Perkins | STL | MINN | 7200 | 29.75 | | |
| Could have gone with Perkins' backcourt mate Jordan Goodwin but the $9500 is a bit too steep for me. Lets save the massive pricetags for guys like Luka Garza. Perkins actually provides great value at $7200. The senior guard from STL is averaging 19.5 ppg while chipping in 3.7 rpg and 2.5 apg en route to 29.75 fantasy points per contest. |

| Value Guards |
| Player | Team | Opp. | DK $ | DK FPPG | FD $ | FD FPPG |
| Quade Green | UW | UC | 7000 | 25.62 | | |
| Quade Green was a highly touted recruit for the Kentucky Wildcats but things never worked out and he transferred to UW. He appeared in 15 games for the Huskies last season but was deemed academically ineligible and missed the rest of the season. This year he is back and having a nice year in his senior season. He leads the team in scoring at 14.8 ppg and minutes at 30 minutes per game. The Huskies are having a down season after losing a few guys to the NBA, so in this one look for Green to have a big game to keep the Huskies in it. |
| Both Gach | MINN | STL | 6600 | 27.14 | | |
| It was a bit surprising to hear Both Gach was transferring from Utah late this past summer. He is just the player Minnesota needed to pair up with Carr. What I like about Gach is he has guard skills but is 6-6. Gach is averaging 13.3 ppg, 5.7 rpg and 3.6 apg, he could be a great GPP play in this one. |
| Posh Alexander | STJN | GU | 5600 | 24.39 | | |
| If we keep getting SJ against teams that will follow thier pace of play on the slatee I'm looking to get Posh Alexander in my lineup. The freshman from NY fits perfectly in Mike Anderson's system. The reason why he is only $5600 is because he lacks consistency, which you will see with a lot of freshman. In last week's game against the Hoyas Alexander went for 16 points, 6 assists and 3 rebounds. |
| | | | | | | | |
| Top Forwards |
| Player | Team | Opp. | DK $ | DK FPPG | FD $ | FD FPPG |
| Julian Champagnie | STJN | GU | 9000 | 37.25 | | |
| Champagnie is listed as G/F eligible but decided to include him in my forwards list. The price tag is steep but the sophmore has really produced for the Johnnies, In the last matchup against the Hoyas he turned in a 13 point, 12 rebound double-double performance. Again I feel like once again this matchup will be a track meet so of course im going to include the Johnnies leading scorer. |
| Joey Hauser | MSU | NW | 7700 | 32 | | |
| I've made no secret that I love double-double machines and Joey Hauser has become one for the MSU Spartans. In the Spartans 6 games this season Hauser has had 4 double-doubles. He has also scored in double figures in every single fame so he is a great play for GPP. Also NW's bigs don't have a ton of size so get hauser in your lineup. |
| Qudus Wahab | GU | STJN | 7300 | 28.38 | | |
| When you hit on a guy who is undervalued in daily fantasy unfortunately the prices will adjust. Last week I listed Qudus Wahab as a value forward due to the fact the Jonnies don't have a lot of size. Wahab was a monster against SJ with a 17 point, 10 rebound double-double. Now the prices have adjuste and he's going for $7300 but that shouildn't prevent you from putting him in your lineup. Expect Patrick Ewing to want to get his big man invovled a lot in this one again and expose that matchup advantage. |
| Liam Robbins | MINN | STL | 7100 | 26.43 | | |
| Daniel Oturu leaving Minnesota for the NBA was a crushing blow for the Gophers. While they certainly haven't replaed Oturu's producition Liam Robbins is having a nice season for the Gophers. The 7-footer from Iowa is averaging a steady 12.1 ppg and 6.9 rpg. He also is a good rim protector at 2.4 blocks per game. St. Louis doesn't have anyone with size to matchup with Robbins, could be a nice play. |
| Pete Nance | NW | MSU | 6900 | 25.56 | | |
| I mentioned above that NW doesn't have great size but give me the son of a hall of famer. Pete Nance is the son of Larry Nance and brother of Cavs forward Larry Nance Jr, Pete is averaging 10 ppg and 7.3 rpg for the Wildcats. I don't love his matchup but feel like there will be room for production especially if MSU runs away with this one. A good paydown option would be teammate Ryan Young ($5000). |
| |
| Value Forwards |
| Player | Team | Opp. | DK $ | DK FPPG | FD $ | FD FPPG |
| Hasahn French | STL | MINN | 6400 | 25.56 | | |
| Hasahn French is off to a bit of a slow start for his standards this season. Through 4 games French is averagin 8.3 ppg and rpg but remember he has missed some time with a concussion. French averaged a double-double last year so take advantage of this slow start. I expect him to have a nice night against a Minny team that is sorely missing Daniel Oturu from last season. |
| Nate Roberts | UW | UC | 6100 | 20.54 | | |
| The Washington Huskies frontcourt took a serious hit this offseason with both Jaden McDaniels and Precious Achiuwa were both first round picks in the NBA Draft. In steps sophomore Nate Roberts and he leads the Huskies in rebounds at 7.8 per game. Roberts could be a nice option at the forward spot. |
| Greg Williams Jr. | STJN | GU | 5900 | 25.17 | | |
| When writing the playbook for last week I included a lot of SJ guys and was a bit concerned with picking so many guys from the same team. Against the Hoyas it really didnt matter as 5 players hit double figures including Greg WIlliams Jr. Williams had a nice night with 13 points, 6 assists and 2 rebounds. |
| Isaih Moore | STJN | GU | 5400 | 21.06 | | |
| The College of Charleston transfer Isaih Moore had his coming out party for the Johnnies against Georgetown last week. Moore exploded for a game high 26 points and 14 rebounds. With a $5400 pricetag it may provide great value if Moore can have an encore performance. A great paydown option would be the guy he has replaced in the starting five, JUCO transfer Vince Cole ($4000). |
