Chris DuarteOREAZ740033.90800031.11
Chris Duarte has been on a tear for the Oregon Ducks lately. In 4 of his last 5 games Duarte has eclipsed 40 fantasy points. The big reason being his steal numbers, in his last 5 games Duarte has 16 thefts. LJ Figueroa ($6300) is a nice paydown option in FanDuel.

Roman PennDRALY-IL690026.28620024.20
 
Jaden SpringerTENNLSU650022.2490020.48
Tennessee has had trouble finding offense for most of the season. Jaden Springer has done his part to fix that problem. Springer has gone back-to-back games posting his career high in points scoring a total of 53 points. Now he draws the 144th ranked defense according to KenPom, he has great value in this one.
Sean McNeilWVUOU470015.6400014.02
Sean McNeil is a great shooter for the Mountaineers and when shooters are hot you got to ride them. Against Texas Tech McNeil scored a career 26 points on 8/11 from the floor and 5/7 from deep. McNeil wasn't much of a factor in the first game against OU but he's playing much better for WVU and is a great play in a cash game.

Luka GarzaIOWAMSU950043.24920040.71
Considering the large slates we could understand if you don't want to break the bank for Garza but he has a great matchup against Michigan St. In the first matchup against the Spartans Garza went for 27 points and 12 rebounds, good for 50 points in Draft Kings. If you can find a way to squeeze him in your lineup he won't disappoint in this one.
Trayce Jackson-DavisIUOSU870037.01840034.67
If you consistently put up double-doubles you are going to be one of the highest priced forwards. Trayce Jackson-Davis as acheived this feat in three consecutive games for the Hoosiers. Ohio St has good forwards but they are a bit undersized, expect TJD to post a double-double and a big fantasy day.
Cameron KrutwigLY-ILDRA850030.47700029.94
Cameron Krutwig is basically the Luka Garza of the mid-major conferences. The senior big that helped lead Loyola Chicago to a Final Four is averaging 15.5 ppg and 6.1 rpg. Krutwig has a great matchup against Drake, considering big man and leading scorer ShanQuan Hemphill is out for a month.
Trendon WatfordLSUTENN730033.20770030.91
Tennessee is outstanding defensively but that wont deter me from including Trendon Watford in the playbook. Tennessee really doesnt have any one with the size and physicality of Watford. Last season against the Volunteers as a freshman Watford posted 15 points and 8 rebounds.

Justice SueingOSUIU660022.40550020.61
Justice Sueing is coming off a scoreless game against Maryland, where he only played 17 minutes, However he has gotten consistent minutes all year long for OSU averaging 26.7 mpg. Despite the scoreless effort against the Terps, Sueing has been big for OSU on their 5-game win streak scoring 40 points and 33 grabbing rebounds.
Adama SanogoCONNXAV560014.25410013.36
While UConn has struggled to find offense from their guards with James Bouknight injured, freshman Adama Sanogo is emerging for UConn. Sanogo is shooting 54.2% from the floor this season and look for Dan Hurley to get his freshman big more touches. In his last game against Providence, Sanogo scored 9 points, had 8 rebounds and an outstanding 5 blocks. Think he presents a ton of value this weekend, especially in FanDuel where he is only $4100.
Jeremiah TilmonMIZZARK  620025.98
Jeremiah Tilmon is an excellent value play against Arkansas in FanDuel. In his first game against the Razorbacks this season, Tilmon dominated with 25 points and 11 rebounds. In a game that should be high scoring, Tilmon is a great play.
Joey HauserMSUIOWA470022.96540020.65
In the beginning of the year Joey Hauser was amongst the highest priced forwards in daily fantasy. Hauser has had a rough month and a half, which lead to him coming off the bench for the first time all year last game out. Hauser did respond though scoring 11 points in the win vs. Penn St. In his first game against Iowa he had a nice game with 10 points and 9 rebounds. Hauser could be a great play in cash contests, especially in DraftKings.
