Cash Games CBB DFS Picks
Robbie Avila, F, Saint Louis ($7,600)
Catches his lowest price since January coming off a dud in the regular season finale, but had 43.8 fpts against GW in late-January. A10 POY. Bilikens have second-highest implied total.
Felix Okpara, F, Tennessee ($5,100)
Starter who has hit 4x in his last five, with 27.5 fpts against Vanderbilt earlier this year. Projected to be a close game. Boosts fantasy score with blocks.
Mouhamed Dioubate, F, Kentucky ($4,700)
Tough matchup against the Florida frontcourt, but it's a math play. He's at his lowest price since January and at this price, hit 3x in nine straight with a 4.9x ceiling. 20.3 and 23 fpts in two games against Florida this year. Assumes Quaintance stays out, of course.
GPPs - Risky, High-Upside Plays
Thomas Haugh, F, Florida ($8,300)
Kentucky hasn't had an answer for Haugh this year, as he has games of 43.3 and 34.5 fpts. Regularly in 40s, ceiling in 50s but floor games of 8 and 12.5 in the last month too. Gators have the highest implied total of the slate.
Jadrian Tracey, G, VCU ($4,700)
Starter with a high usage rate playing in an up-tempo game against a Duquesne side outside the top-300 at defending the three. Game log is volatile -- range of 1.3 to 36.3 fpts over his last 10, which includes six of 20+.
Aleksas Bieliauskas, F, Wisconsin ($3,900)
Punt play with a bit of upside. Starter set to get extra looks on offense with Nolan Winter (ankle) presumably still out. So far has 23.5 and 20.8 in games without Winter. Can get hot from three.

Cash Games
Nijel Pack, G, Oklahoma ($7,400)
Starting point guard + scoring/usage leader for the red-hot Sooners in the highest o/u game of the day. 37.3 and 28.8 to begin SEC tournament, cheaper than the key Arkansas pieces.
Rienk Mast, F, Nebraska ($6,300)
17+ fpts in 12-straight, so there's a floor. Big usage when on the court. 38 fpts earlier this season against Purdue. Not buying Purdue's sudden defensive turnaround.
Ace Buckner, G, Clemson ($4,700)
Oddly saw a price dip before the ACC Tournament despite seeing 20+ fpts in five of six games. Made second start all season Thursday and had 30 minutes for only the third time. Minutes open after Carter Welling's torn ACL.

GPPs - Risky, High-Upside Plays
Darius Acuff, G, Arkansas ($10,000)
Hefty price for a player coming off injury, which hopefully limits ownership. Razorbacks with the day's highest implied total. Do-it-all point guard and future NBA lottery pick has a ceiling in the 60s.
Jeremiah Williams, G, Georgetown ($4,900)
Tough matchup, but in five games as a starter (due to KJ Lewis season-ending injury), Williams is averaging 13.6 points, 5.4 assists, 1.8 rebounds and 1.2 steals, ranging from 20.3 to 32.8 fpts.
Parker Friedrichsen, G, Davidson ($4,800)
Starting shooting guard, second-leading scorer and minutes leader at a low price. High usage rate, per our College Basketball Lineups tool. Deep and somewhat volatile rotation results in range of outcomes between 5 and 35.
Patton Pinkins, G, Mississippi ($3,800)
Could do worse for salary relief. Double-digit ftps in eight straight, eclipsed 30 twice this year. Third-highest usage rate among starters, 30.6 mpg over last eight. Big pace boost from Bama.
