Along with my colleague Razzle11, I look forward to providing you with analysis and picks throughout this 2018-2019 CBB season! Remember, if I mention a player and do not point out which site it means that my preference is the site where he is cheaper.

Today’s Cheat Sheet:
AFriedman15’s Slate Notes:
Nebraska/Missouri State:Don’t be shocked to see a whole lot of missed shots Monday with MZST and NEB.. Missouri State is ninth in the nation in field goal percentage defense (.321), while Nebraska is first (.268). The Bears are also top 30 nationally in three-point percentage defense (Huskers are first here, too) and blocked shots per game..
Rutgers: Omoruyi is in play and Geo Baker is a decent cash play
EMU: Very interested in EMU, who is fielding their best time since the 1990s, Thompson (preseason MAC POY), Minnie, Paul Jackson, and Toure are all viable here.
St. John’s: For the Johnnies, I love Heron who has every bit the upside of the 9-10k guys. Marvin Clark II is an decent play at $5,200 too.
Cal:Nothing stands out on Cal for me.
Wyoming:is fascinating for DFS purposes, they play a very short rotation, which is usually good for DFS. If you can fit James in great, but Maldonaldo is viable for almost half the price, and Hendricks offers a decent floor. Taylor could go ham or throw up a 0.
BC: Their frontcourt may have some value with Mitchell and Popovic. I do not like that the guards have limited peripherals.
Liberty: I love Scottie James as a mid-range guy.
Vandy: has two stud freshman Shittu and Garland that are viable if you can fit them in, as well. I am also interested in Moyer here for cheap.
Texas Tech: probably sticking with Mooney or Culver at the guard spots.
USC: The Trojans have a few studs, including Racocevic who is a double-double machine, Boatright (last year’s leading scorer, and Porter, a freshman from Seattle. Boatright is an absolute steal on FD. Weaver could be a good punt too
Temple/VCU: Not seeing a lot here.
Arizona: I love Brandon Randolph who has taken on a lot of the scoring roles in the post-Ayton era.
ISU: I wish Shayok, Horton-Tucker, and Weiler-Babb were cheaper, but they are all in play
FD only
Arizona State: Luguentz Dort is an absolute stud and will make most of my builds. Cheatham is okay but I like Hachimura significantly better.
Gonzaga: Love Gonzaga tonight, starting with Hachimura and feel free to add some guards.
