Sunday's main CBB slate on DraftKings has six games: ARK @ UVA, BUTLE @ BSU, STMRY @ NEV, PITT @ PSU, UH @ CAL and WICH @ USC. The classic format carries a $50,000 salary cap, and the slate locks Sunday 11/8 at 1:00 p.m. ET (10:00 a.m. PT).
Our model's top play is Jacob Cofie of USC at $8,500. His ceiling of 71.2 is the highest on the board, and his DraftKings average of 26.4 leads the group as well. His teammate Alijah Arenas sits right behind at $8,100, with a ceiling of 60.1 and an average of 23.0. Lee Dort of CAL is the next name up at $7,800 with a ceiling of 51.9, though he carries a DraftKings Q tag, so his status is worth checking before lock.
The value plays come from the middle and lower tiers. Sam Lewis of UVA costs $6,700 and averages 19.6, while Vaughn Weems of NEV is $6,000 with an average of 19.0. The best number per dollar belongs to William Berg of WICH. At $5,200 he averages 23.2 and has a ceiling of 51.5, which is a strong return for the price. Dillon Battie of WICH costs $4,900 with a ceiling of 40.6, but he also carries a Q tag.
The fact sheet gives no ownership figures for this slate, so we can't say where the crowd will land.
Our model's top lineup uses $48,200 of the $50,000 cap. It starts with guards Alijah Arenas ($8,100), Nojus Indrusaitis ($7,200) and Jalen Cox ($3,700). The forwards are Delrecco Gillespie ($8,900), Jacob Cofie ($8,500) and Dovydas Butka ($5,500). Isaac Bruns ($3,000) and Braden East ($3,300) fill the UTIL spots. Both USC stars appear, and the cheap UTIL slots help pay for the expensive forwards.
Lock is Sunday 11/8 at 1:00 p.m. ET, so get your lineups set before then.
