So yesterday wasn't the best day for DK and I am not going to spend my intro re-hashing mis-management and decisions made by the provider. I want to focus on getting back to what is important to us and our Bucketheads, and that is good ole fashion college basketball with side of competition among us on DraftKings. We fully expect page views and likes to be down today as the sour taste lingers for many fans of CBB DFS. All we can do is move forward after providing feedback with the hope someone takes notices and improves the experience for all of us. Tonight we have a 5-game slate that gives us a top 10 showdown between #7 Ohio State

Although Groundhog’s day is over, from a DFS content provider perspective, this time of year becomes a bit of Groundhog’s day for your boys @cbb_dfs. At this point, you’ve got a good feel for the teams and players and from our perspective, there are only so many ways to talk about the same teams/players over and over. It really comes down to price and injury/COVID news at this point in the season. Keep targeting those players who have proven track records of success but might be priced down a bit (see Wiggins from Maryland yesterday). Keep your eyes peeled pre-lock for late breaking news, as that is the best way to identify value at this point in the season (see

Happy Tuesday, Bucketheads! We have a good sized slate ready to go tonight featuring a ton of ranked teams and plenty of ACC and B1G action. While there are some mega DFS match-ups that didn't make the cut for tonight's slate, we still have everything written up for you to consume before the (earlier than normal) 5:30 tip. Mood: @CBB_DFS Okay... I got the rah rah stuff in, but I need to go on a rant here (this is Joe). Slates like this drive me absolutely crazy. On the surface it's fine. Ranked teams everywhere, plenty of good teams and some diverse games. What I hate here is that it reflects on how out of touch DraftKings can be with the
Monday $12K Pull Up Jumper [3K to 1st]
With just three games on this slate and no over/unders exceeding 140, all players stand on equal footing as we look for the right plays tonight. Byrd, James, and Joe each break down a game and give their takes on top plays for both cash and GPP formats. As the calendar hits February 1st, we are under 6-weeks until Selection Sunday. Business is about to really pick up over this last month of conference play. With a unique March Madness ahead this will be the last chance for teams like Memphis and Duke, teams on this slate, to make a late push to selection committee relevance. Duke and Memphis fans trying to get the attention of the selection committee Memphis -9,

Iowa @ Illinois headline 3-Game Mini-Slate
We have a small 3-game slate tonight to get us warmed up for the weekend. The slate features a pair of mid-major games from Conference USA and the Atlantic 10 that tip at 5:00 and 5:30, followed by an amazing nightcap that pits #7 Iowa heading to Champaign to take on #19 Illinois. This game has a total of 163.5 right now and is also available as an excellent showdown option for our Bucketheads. #LFG #Dab Charlotte -6, (136) - 5:00FIU @ CharlotteWhy I am writing up this game and not Xavier at Butler is beyond me, but we play the hand we are dealt right?

Welcome to Thursday, Bucketheads! Tonight we have a slim 5-game slate out there for us to enjoy. Tips range from 6pm to 10pm CST, so it should be a long and hopefully eventful night of CBB DFS for our readers. Like yesterday, the ladder is organized by game total with the lowest of the five games first, and highest over/unders at the bottom. Margins are tight today with 4-of-5 games coming between a 141 and 144 totals. This means everyone is live from any game so sort through the tea leaves carefully and make that best build!

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.

Happy Tuesday Bucketheads!! We’ve got a big 10-game slate today with DraftKings awarding $5k to 1st. We are changing things up a bit today, introducing “The Ladder” for the 1st time this season. The Ladder format is a more concise, to the point breakdown of each game. No dad jokes, no extensive intros, just laser focused DFS heat. We are breaking out the ladder for multiple reasons: Some of the Bucketheads prefer the direct style The Ladder providesBuilding/using The Ladder template now will help us in March on days where we want to cover a morning and evening slate, but don’t have 4+ hours available to do full write-ups on a significant number of gamesWe have full times jobs, plus James side
Small but fun Monday Slate; $3K to 1st
This is a little hard to fathom, but we are 6-weeks away from March Madness. As we enter the end of January there is only a little over month left for teams to make that final push toward the big dance. Last week was the first time both Duke, North Carolina, and Kentucky had all been outside the top 25 since 1961. Do these blue bloods have what it takes to right the ship and make a run to get in? I know we will be watching! As for tonight though, DraftKings has a small 4-game slate to get our week started. Syracuse and Virginia open the slate at 6:00, followed by a pair of Big 12 games at 8:00. The
