Our Saturday college basketball slate starts just after football does, so we are going to have a great afternoon full of college goodness! We tip off this six-gamer with Tennessee taking on Villanova and Baylor taking on Stanford. Those are a couple of nice early-season tilts!
The afternoon tips with Virginia Commonwealth taking on Chattanooga and Purdue taking on the bluest of the bloods in North Carolina. We finish it off with Syracuse taking on Colgate and Boston College tangling with Utah. There are some great options on here, so let's get to it!
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy college basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 11/20/21 starting at 1 pm Eastern. I’ll be providing multiple player suggestions for players at guard and forward, aiming to highlight one option apiece at the high, middle, and lower end of the salary scale. Good luck, RotoBallers.

DraftKings CBB DFS Guards
Buddy Boeheim, Syracuse ($8,300)
Boeheim is the best player on the team with the best matchup. Of course, it helps that Boeheim has gone for 33.5 and 35.25 DraftKings points in the first two games for the Orange. Colgate may claim to guard against a lot of things, but I can assure you that Boeheim isn't one of them. Even in a blowout, Boeheim should be somewhere in the 30's again.
Kendall Brown, Baylor ($7,600)
The rich get richer. Baylor was already considered among the top of the Big 12(10). Add to that a freshman like Brown, and there might not be a team in the conference that can dethrone them. Brown has averaged 31.8 DraftKings points per game despite only playing 23 minutes per game in three easy wins for the Bears. His minutes should pick up in what promises to be a closer game with Stanford. I'm excited to see what else the freshman can do.
Joseph Girard III, Syracuse ($6,000)
Even with Boeheim racking up a lot of points, Girard isn't far behind and he is putting up slightly better peripheral numbers. Both can have success today against Colgate. The potential is there for many Syracuse players to blow by the production we need for the price points. The trick is finding the right ones. I'm pretty confident in both Girard and Boeheim today.
T.J. Bickerstaff, Boston College ($4,600)
The Eagles are still trying to find the rotation that works best for them. They may have found it with Bickerstaff. He racked up 52.25 DraftKings points points a monstrous double-double (22 points, 15 rebounds) against Rhode Island. Bickerstaff has been efficient from the field and very active on the boards. Keep using him until he cools down since DraftKings didn't heat up his price.
Also consider: Caleb Love, North Carolina ($8,500); Collin Gillespie, Villanova ($7,400); Jaden Shackleford, Alabama ($7,400); Kennedy Chandler, Tennessee ($6,800); Cole Swider, Syracuse ($4,200)

DraftKings CBB DFS Forwards
Armando Bacot, North Carolina ($9,000)
I was wrong about Oscar Tshiebwe being matchup-proof last night. Bacot is another guy that feels like he defies matchups. Purdue is a strong and long defensive team, but a lot of Bacot's allure has been his defense. He's the type of player that can battle with Purdue and still put up good numbers because he doesn't rely too heavily on scoring. That's not to say that Bacot hasn't been a strong scorer this year. He has. I like the floor here, but there may be more upside elsewhere. Purdue can match him up, at least in theory. In practice I still see Bacot having a strong game.
Branden Carlson, Utah ($6,600)
Carlson has been a force for the Utes so far, averaging 16.3 points and 6.7 rebounds so far. He's a stat sheet stuffer and doesn't rely heavily on points. On paper, Boston College is a tougher matchup for Carlson. However, I'm not concerned since he puts up so many peripheral stats. This could be a game where Utah dominates and I want to be on the right side of it if they do.
Zach Edey, Purdue ($6,000)
As long as Edey keeps starting, I'll keep using him. He's much cheaper than Travion Williams, who is coming off the bench. They are both splitting minutes about evenly, but Edey has racked up back-to-back double-doubles in just 36 minutes combined in both games. He fell one board shy of a double-double in the opener as well. I don't like timeshares, but when someone is running hot like Edey, I'll make an exception.
Jonathan Tchamwa Tchatchoua, Baylor ($4,900)
JTT has dominated in limited minutes in the first few games. Flo Thamba is still the starter, but JTT is still leading the team in rebounds in just 59 minutes over three games. He's not much of a scorer, but with the big rebounding numbers and strong peripherals, he's a great money saving option due to the nice floor.
Also consider: Brady Manek, North Carolina ($6,900); Jeremy Sochan, Baylor ($6,500); John Fulkerson, Tennessee ($5,600); Jairus Hamilton, Western Kentucky ($6,200); Eric Dixon, Villanova ($3,900)
