College Basketball Daily Fantasy Sports Picks - Saturday, February 14th

Today's Daily Fantasy Sports Picks:

Happy Valentine's Day all you DFS'ers! May the hoops gods show you some love in your lineups today.

Last night's picks fared better than expected. Provided wins in 3 head-to-head matchups. Shocking to see everyone but McKissic exceed their average points per game. With luck (I mean superior fantasy skills!) like that, I should have entered the lottery this past week. Last night's results:

F S Johnson (Arizona) 26.7 fppg - $7,900 --- 36.6 pts

F B Ashely (Arizona) 19.4 fppg - $6,300 --- 21.6 pts

F S McKissic (Arizona St) 21.1 fppg - $5,900 --- 19.3 pts

F R Hollis-Jefferson (Arizona) 23.5 fppg - $7,300 --- 33.8 pts

F S Goodman (Arizona St) 18.3 fppg - $5,600 --- 24.3 pts

G D Lacy (Washington St) 23 fppg - $7,600 --- 26.6 pts

G T.J. McConnell (Arizona) 25.5 fppg - $7,500 --- 34 pts

G A Andrews (Washington) 22.1 fppg - $6,600 --- 36.2 pts


G G Blakes (Arizona St) 17 fppg - $5,300 --- 32.2 pts

A fun full slate of game on hand today. Hoping the Jayhawks' outside shooters continue to stay hot versus Baylor's zone D. Brannen Greene just might be the best shooter in the country. Pretty impressive for a guy averaging barely double digits in fantasy points per game.



And gotta love the hot streak that Shaq Goodwin has been on lately. 30 plus in 3 straight games.

Enjoy the games today and remember to take some time away from them to show that special person in your life how much you appreciate them! If you're the coach, they're the general manager!

Here's the picks for the noon start of games:


  • F
    Jarell Martin (LSU) 31.25 fppg - $8,600
  • F
    Shaq Goodwin 19.34 fppg - $7,200
  • F
    Devin Williams 23.14 fppg - $6,800
  • F

College Basketball Daily Fantasy Picks - Friday, Feb. 13th

Today's Daily Fantasy Sports Picks:

Ouch! Roller coaster ride last night. Started out in the top 4 of a 20 team 50-50 league and finished just outside the money. Went down to the wire on the late game (Stanford at Utah).

Here's a run down of how each player fared compared to their projections:

F Aaron White (Iowa) 27.8 fppg - $7,700 --- 23.1 pts

F A.J. Hammons (Purdue) 24.5 fppg - $7,100 --- 41.4 pts

F Amida Brimah (UConn) 21.6 fppg - $6,400 --- 24.7 pts

F Danrad Knowles (Houston) 21.3 fppg - $5,600 --- 19 pts

F Rosco Allen (Stanford) 17.5 fppg - $5,700 --- 0 pts

G Shaquille Harrison (Tulsa) 27.6 fppg - $7,900 --- 15.4 pts
G Ryan Boatright (UConn) 30.3 fppg - $8,400 --- 40 pts

G Jonathan Octeus (Purdue) 20.4 fppg - $5,700 --- 19 pts

G Ladarius White (Ole Miss) 17.4 fppg - $5,500 --- 19.5 pts


A promising start to the night with Boatright going Allen Iverson and dropping 40 pts and A.J. Hammons stepping it up with over 40 pts as well.

Boatright got the skills to pay the bills:


That balloon of optimism was quickly popped with Rosco Allen not even playing one single minute in Stanford's loss to Utah. Didn't see that one coming! C'est la vie!

Now on to picks for tonight's games. Befitting of Friday the 13th, I'm rolling out what I hope is a scary-good lineup:

F S Johnson (Arizona) 26.7 fppg - $7,900

F B Ashely (Arizona) 19.4 fppg - $6,300

F S McKissic (Arizona St) 21.1 fppg - $5,900

F R Hollis-Jefferson (Arizona) 23.5 fppg - $7,300

F S Goodman (Arizona St) 18.3 fppg - $5,600

G D Lacy (Washington St) 23 fppg - $7,600
G T.J. McConnell (Arizona) 25.5 fppg - $7,500

G A Andrews (Washington) 22.1 fppg - $6,600

G G Blakes (Arizona St) 17 fppg - $5,300

(Note all prices & fan points per game (fppg) based on FanDuel system)

College Basketball Daily Fantasy Picks for Thursday, Feb. 12th


Today's Daily Fantasy Sports Picks:

Alrighty, post #1! Welcome to all you daily fantasy sports (DFS) players. I've just started playing over the last few weeks. After a hot streak to start (won first 5 contests), I've since cooled off but have rebounded back with 2 wins and no losses last night. I've primarily play 50-50 style but may get into some head-to-head matchups as I learn more. DFS has definitely been an intriguing challenge. Lots to think about and exciting to watch your matchups down to the wire. I hope this blog will provide solid lineup ideas and be a catalyst for strategy. Oh, and provide some good laughs too! See the daily poll on the right hand side of the post for more on that.

Now on to tonight's contests. We've got a slate of Big Ten, SEC, PAC-12, & American Athletic Conference games on tap. Below are my picks:

F Aaron White (Iowa) 27.8 fppg - $7,700

F A.J. Hammons (Purdue) 24.5 fppg - $7,100
