We are back on this Hump Day with another ladder. Feedback was overall positive yesterday so we thought we would incorporate some of your suggestions and run it back for the 8-game Wednesday slate. Naturally we need another ladder GIF so let’s knock that out now.

Tonight’s slate tips at 6:00 CST and features Big East, Big Ten, SEC and ACC action. The winner is getting a cool 3K so below we have everything you need to take it down. Some of the changes as recommended by the community:

  • Games are in order of total project points, with the lowest over/unders listed first and the totals get higher and higher as you work your way down the page. The more possessions and points, the more opportunity to earn DFS points in your lineup, so dive into those games listed towards the bottom!!
  • Each team has their own paragraph, but the goal is still to keep the content sharp and to the point. This does mean less fart jokes and movie GIFs (this makes Joe sad).
  • We added back in position tags for players.

Keep the feedback coming! We are here for you guys, and are always looking for ways to improve our product. If you like what we are providing, maybe winning some money here and there, don’t forget there is a donate option on the site or by following the link HERE. #ShamelessPlug ??‍♂️

Pick’em (129.5) – 8:00

#25 Louisville @ Clemson

Clemson has fallen off a cliff defensively, giving up 43% from 3 in ACC play and 80+ points last 3 games. Carlik Jones (G, 8400) is always a live GPP play and pricing is fair for this one. David Johnson (G, 7300) is shot dependent but would like to see him get 8 3s up again like he did against Duke. Tigers struggle containing bigs, so you can look at Jae’Lyn Withers (F, 6900).

Aamir Simms (F, 6600) leads the team in usage (25%) but has been hit or miss, price is good for GPP and Cardinals giving up 53% from 2. Clyde Trapp (G, 5500) has fallen under 4x in 4 or last 5, not crazy about his price here. Bad matchup for streaky Nick Honor (G, 4800) but big reward if he can catch fire.

Pick’em (129.5) – 8:00
Wisconsin -3, (130.5) – 8:00

#14 Wisconsin @ Maryland

D’Mitrik Trice (G, 7200) hit 5x against Maryland previously. He’s cooled a bit but should be solid in cash formats. Aleem Ford (F, 6300) and his beautiful smile are at max price. Risky GPP play tonight in a bad matchup, 3x last time. Front court is a complete mess otherwise. Brad Davison (G, 5600) didn’t do much the first time, but Maryland gives up 38% from 3.
 
Donta Scott (F, 7000) is a gamble anyway and overpriced in a bad matchup. Eric Ayala (G, 6400) is in great form and priced decently still, 4x last time. Aaron Wiggins (G/F, 6100) is fully in play for GPP, 5x last time and 4x vs Minn. The masked Darryl Morsell (G, 5400) is in bad form other than an outburst vs Illinois, still a bit overpriced.

Wisconsin -3, (130.5) – 8:00
Providence -1.5, (138.5) – 6:00

Marquette @ Providence

The Golden Eagles won the first match-up in Milwaukee by 10 back on January 12th. Dawson Garcia (F, 6400) had a game high 20 in that one, but hasn’t done much in two games since. GPP option tonight. DJ Carton (G, 6600) has been very steady of late hovering around 4x in 4-in a row. He is a safer option than Koby McEwen (G, 5700). The forwards of Lewis, John, and Cain are all 5200 or 5100 and are impossible to chose between.

David Duke (G, 8600) went 3-of-14 in the first meeting but still managed 37 DK. Imagine if he shoots well tonight at home. Nate Watson (F, 6800) is at his lowest price since early December and has had around 4x or more this price in 7-of-9. We will continue to monitor the status of Jared Bynum (G, 5100). His return would cut into the rise of Alyn Breed (G, 6100) who is grossly overpriced as is.

Providence -1.5, (138.5) – 6:00
Notre Dame -2, (139.5) – 6:00

#20 Virginia Tech @ Notre Dame


Both teams play slow but have tight rotations, which is nice from a DFS perspective. Pricing seems to favor VT, who did win their first matchup 77-63. With Radford out, I’d expect more playing time for Naheim Alleyne (G/F, 5400) and Hunter Cattoor (G, 4300). Both are solid value targets. Keve Aluma (F, 7200) had 15 and 12 in their first matchup and price is down a bit. Justyn Mutts (F, 5500) should play 30+ min and 4x in 4 of 6, while Jalen Cone (G, 4200) priced back down after a cooler. He took 10 3’s against the Irish last game.
 
Nate Laszewski (F, 8200) near high price point which scares me. Prentiss Hubb (G, 7800) highest usage player and will get all the minutes, but with price back up he’s a tourney option only. Juwan Durham (F, 6500) is in great form, while the rest of the ND options are inconsistent tourney options, but at least you know they’ll be on the court since they only play a core of 6 guys the majority of the minutes.  

Notre Dame -2, (139.5) – 6:00
Arkansas -5.5, (142) – 7:30

Ole Miss @ Arkansas

Devontae Shuler (G, 8000) is in excellent form, but hasn’t show slate breaking ability this year so the Ole Miss lead guard can only be considered in cash. Jarkel Joiner (G, 6300) is a better GPP option as he has had around 5x in his last 3 resulting in a 2K price jump. KJ Buffen (F, 5900) is the most consistent Rebel in the paint, but Romello White (F, 5300) and Luis Rodriguez (G/F, 5200) provide more GPP upside due to their ancillary stat production.

After 40 burgers in 2-of-3, Moses Moody (G/F, 8900) is priced too high for me. Jalen Tate (G, 8700) is also out of reach coming off a 54 DK outing against lowly Vanderbilt. More reasonable Razorback options that I can recommend start with Justin Smith (F, 5700). JD Notae (G, 4700) and Desi Sills (G, 4400) are also appealing at sub 5k. Ole Miss isn’t a faced paced team so we can probably expect Conner Vanover (F, 4200) to be on the floor a bit more. Love the Razorback’s cheaper options when trying to fill out line-ups tonight.

Arkansas -5.5, (142) – 7:30
OSU -7.5, (146.5) – 6:00

Penn State @ #13 Ohio State

Seth Lundy (F, 8100) is now Penn St’s price king after going 8x/5x in his last 2 games as a starter. This is in part due to Myles Dread (G, 3700) being injured. He’s GTD tonight but not sure Lundy is playable anyway at that insane price. Myreon Jones (G, 7700), only 1 game <30 DK in last 6, playable in either format. Izaiah Brockington (G, 6500) is a GPP option. Solid matchup for John Harrar (F, 5000). Jamari Wheeler (G, 4300) in play as well, 5x in 3 of 4.
 
Good matchup and pace for EJ Liddell (F, 7500), PSU giving up 57% from 2. Duane Washington (G, 6200) is firmly GPP even at reduced price. CJ Walker (G, 4400) back now which will steal usage/shots. Justice Sueing (F, 5800) is live in tournaments, down $600 after 2 bad games. For an extreme flier pick, Zed Key (F, 3200) would be a major matchup problem, just needs 

OSU -7.5, (146.5) – 6:00
Creighton -1.5 (147.5) – 6:00

#17 Creighton @ Seton Hall

No Bluejay is over 7500 so the names you know are all in play tonight. Denzel Mahoney (G/F, 7400) is a GPP target anytime he steps on the floor, while Zegarowski (G, 6900) and Damien Jefferson (F, 6700) are cash plays with legit upside. Christian Bishop (F, 5200) is at a season low price point, and should cruise to 4x here. Mitch Ballock (G, 4900) and Ryan Kalkbrenner (F, 4500) are also playable GPP options.

The name Mamukelashvili (F, 9000) will get you 26 points in Scrabble, but for DK purposes he needs 36 points to hit value. He had just 29 DK in their first meeting that Creighton dominated in Omaha. Jared Rhoden (G/F, 7600) has had at least 16 real points in 7-of-10 games and also pulls down almost 7 rpg making him very playable. Our boy Myles Cale (G/F, 5100) remains a steady cash play as his price starts to normalize. Shavar Reynolds (G, 5000) has gone 4x in his last two. Finally, Bryce Aiken (G, 3300) returned and played 10 minutes last game if you are looking for a deep cut.

Creighton -1.5 (147.5) – 6:00
DePaul -1, (152.5) – 8:00

St. John’s @ DePaul

With a massive over/under, we want a lot of pieces here, starting with Julian Champagnie (F, 9200). He’s got 40+ DK upside as their true alpha. If you can’t get him, Posh Alexander (G, 7900) is in fantastic form, although the $2k price hike is annoying (but deserved). Rasheem Dunn (G, 5900) has been hit or miss all year and priced up $1200. He’s never hit 5x at this price. If Greg Williams (G/F, 5600) can’t go, Vince Cole (G/F, 4800) becomes a nice value option, while everyone else is a punt option, but at least there should be a ton of possessions to try to get lucky with.
 
Hard not to like 27% usage in the highest over/under on the slate at reasonable price point, so Charlie Moore (G, 7000) is a solid option. Javon Freeman-Liberty (G, 6700) finally priced to play as a do everything guard who isn’t as shot dependent as Moore. Darious Hall (F, 6200) has some tourney upside, but the most volatile of the Blue Demons listed. I can’t believe Romeo Weems (F, 4900) is sub-$5k. Yes, he’s struggled, but this kid can play. He’s a bet on talent play. Kobe Elvis (G, 3800) has punt appeal with 4x in back to back and Nick Ongenda’s (F, 4400) length gives him a little block upside as a raw talent.

DePaul -1, (152.5) – 8:00

Prize Picks – 1/27/21

Prentiss Hubb

Notre Dame

Hubb is coming off back to back 35+ fantasy point efforts. He was just under today’s 25.8 PP total in the first matchup @ VT, shooting 3-14 from the field with 5 turnovers. I expect similar usage with better results at home tonight, OVER 25.8.

– Byrd

Scotty Pippen Jr.

Vanderbilt

Pace-up game for Pip. He’s at 35% usage and 32% shot share for the Commodores. Florida can be sloppy with the rock so some steal upside as well. I like him OVER 29.9

– James

A.J. Lawson

South Carolina

He has 20 or more real points in in 4 of 5 with no turnovers in 2 straight. He also has big time steal potential against face-paced and sloppy UGA. Lawson goes OVER 28.0. Put a bow on it.
