In this article, I will be focusing on providing three players from each position on Fanduel (Guards/Forwards). One expensive play, mid-tier, and a value play at each position to help you construct your CBB lineups. I also want to note that if I don’t include a play in my article. That doesn’t mean I am necessarily fading that certain play. The slate on Fanduel consists of 4 games including the State Farm Champions Classic. So here are my Fanduel CBB Plays 12/1/20.
- Michigan St @ Duke // Line -3.5 Duke 150 O/U
- Kansas @ Kentucky // Line -4.5 Kansas 143.5 O/U
- Oklahoma St @ Marquette // Line -3 Marquette 148 O/U
- Western Kentucky @ Louisville // Line -4 Louisville 143 O/U
Guards:
Expensive Tier:
Cade Cunningham, G, Oklahoma St ($8,200)
Cunningham was the top prized recruit in the 2020 recruiting class. He chose to attend Oklahoma St which perplexes me a bit. But in any regard, he has two collegiate games under his belt and he has looked as good as advertised by that overall #1 ranked prospect coming out of high school. In two games he is averaging 31.5 MPG, 20.5 PPG, 7.0 RPG, and 36.2 FPTS/G. He also leads Oklahoma St with a 30.4% usage rate. I will be locking in the freshman stud into my lineups.
Mid Tier:
Ochai Agbaji, G, Kansas ($6,300)
Searching in the 6K-7K range on Fanduel my favorite play is Agbaji as a mid-tier guard play. We definitely want some pieces from this Kentucky/Kansas game even with the 143.5 O/U. These two teams are super talented and Agbaji is averaging 32.5 MPG and 17.5 PPG. Which is 2nd highest on the team to only Marcus Garrett.
Value:
DJ Stewart, G, Duke ($4,400)
Stewart is another 5-star recruit for Coach K who was ranked the 26th best recruit in the 2020 recruiting class. He didn’t draw the start in Duke’s first game vs Coppin St. although he did see 33 minutes off the bench while scoring a game high 24 points and pulling down 9 rebounds. We should assume he will come off the bench tonight vs Michigan St., but be wary as we are unsure if he will get the 30+ minutes again. For just 4,400 on Fanduel, he should be a very popular play.
Other value plays I like:
Christian Braun, G, Kansas ($4,500)
Forwards:
Expensive Tier:
Joey Hauser, F, Michigan St ($7,000)
The Michigan St/Duke has the highest O/U on this slate so we want to attack this game. Should be a great one again between this two hall of fame coaches. Let’s start with Hauser who is leading Michigan St with a team-high 30.5% usage rate and in two games is averaging a double-double. It should be a good one seeing him go against the talented Duke freshmen and Hurt.
Mid Tier:
Jalen Johnson, F, Duke ($6,400)
Like Stewart, Johnson is another one of Coach K’s 5-star freshmen who was ranked the 13th best recruit in the 2020 class. Johnson started in his first collegiate game vs Coppin St. He played in 35 minutes while scoring 19 points and pulling down an absurd 19 rebounds and having 4 blocks. I wouldn’t expect another 51 fantasy point performance, especially against a tough defensive team in Michigan St. but, his price is low on Fanduel compared to $8,800 on DraftKings.
Other Mid Tier plays I like:
Aaron Henry, F, Michigan St ($6,100)
Jalen Wilson, F, Kansas ($6,000)
Value:
Dawson Garcia, F, Marquette ($5,600) / Theo John, F, Marquette ($5,500)
This game vs Oklahoma St has the 2nd highest O/U on the slate and all the Marquette plays are basically mid-tier plays. So that will help us get to some of the other more expensive players. Let’s focus on Garcia and John though for Marquette. Looking at some data for their first two games of the season it looks like all the players have very similar usage rates and MPG. I do really like John though for his defensive upside in terms of racking up blocks.
