Thursday, March 26th

And so the Sweet 16 starts. Despite there only being four games per day, there is still a solid slate for DFS and a few large tournaments around the industry for this weekend. There is definitely money to be made in the last weekend on DFS CBB and we are still here to help you through it.

Wichita State

Ron Baker ($7,800) – Do not let anyone tell you otherwise – Notre Dame and Wichita State is projected to be the lowest tempo game of the day. That being said, this is one of the closest projected games and there should be a lot of high leverage possessions late. None of the games are too different from each other in terms of projected scoring, but nether of these teams is projected over 70, making their expensive players a little bit harder to peg. I am straying from VanVleet at $8,900 because Baker has around the same tempo free stats, and while he does not have the assist rate, he blocks shots better and takes more shots. He has just the same upside for less money, and I feel the crowd will be on VanVleet.

Notre Dame

Zach Auguste ($6,600) – Since being terrible in the middle-late of the season around the time of the suspension, Auguste has been much better for Notre Dame. The big guy has regained his minutes despite the risk of foul trouble and continues to be a 15-10 threat every time he touches the court. His price at $6,600 is one of the better bargains on FanDuel, and even with the solid interior defense put together by Wichita State, I think he is the way to go in this one with the highest shot percentage on the Irish.
