Welcome to Brian’s CBB slate breakdown. In this article, I will share a few of my top plays on the slate, and discuss who you should target in cash and gpp contests. If you would like to gain access to our CBB core plays, final thoughts, and premium discord, click here.
Guards
Cameron Thomas (LSU) vs. Georgia
This UGA/LSU game is one that you will want to target. It has a massive 163 total on it, and will be a game that produces tons of fantasy studs tonight. Cam Thomas stands out as one of my top plays from this game. He has a massive 33% usage rate and is averaging 23ppg. UGA does not have a very good defense, and is prone to giving up big games to opposing teams backcourts. Look for Thomas to be very active on the offensive end, and get up tons of shots tonight. Solid floor with massive upside here.
James Bouknight (UConn) vs. Georgetown
Bouknight returned to the UConn starting lineup last game vs. Villanova, and should be in store for another start tonight. He has slowly been getting back into form, and appears to be there, after playing over 30 minutes last game. Bouknight has a 37% usage rate, scoring 20 ppg. He is a phenomenal scorer for this Uconn team, and can really put up big time games when his shot is falling. He gets a good matchup vs. Georgetown tonight and is still priced below 8k. I will continue to have heavy exposure to him as long as he his below 8k.
Forwards
Jeremiah Robinson-Earl (Villanova) vs. St. Johns
JRE has been playing phenomenal basketaball over Villanova’s last 5 games. Over that span he has averaged 36 minutes, 16 points and 10 rebounds per game. He gets a really good matchup vs. a St. Johns team that pushes the pace, and struggle guarding opposing teams frontcourts. Also, St. Johns is a very poor rebounding team, so JRE should feast on the glass tonight. JRE is my top forward tonight, and will be someone I look to get into my main lineup.
Jermaine Samuels (Villanova) vs. St. Johns
Staying with this game, I really like Samuels in this spot for a lot of the same reasons I like JRE. He has really picked his play up over the last 5 games as well, averaging 15 ppg and 5 rpg over that span, while playing near 30 mpg. St. Johns has a horrible defense, and one that both Samuels and JRE should be able to dominate. If JRE is a little to expensive to fit into your build, Samuels is a solid secondary option you could consider from this game.
