With 16 games completed and one more significant slate of 16 upcoming, the excitement of the NCAA Tournament is palpable. The initial matches didn’t produce a lot of unexpected outcomes, yet smaller programs that faced defeat still showcased solid performances in daily fantasy sports (DFS).
We should expect to see some unfamiliar teams participating in DraftKings tournaments. Embrace these opportunities, especially when they face off against evenly matched opponents! This approach can be the key differentiator between merely cashing out and achieving a big win.
This article will detail my DFS lineup recommendations for college basketball on DraftKings for March 21, 2025, starting at 12:15 p.m. EDT. I will suggest various players at both the guard and forward positions, aiming to include options across various salary ranges. Best of luck, RotoBallers!

Today’s DraftKings Guards – CBB DFS Lineup Picks
Donovan Dent, New Mexico ($9.1K)
Dent has consistently scored at least 30 DraftKings points in every game since January 14. Although Kam Jones might seem to have a higher potential, I prefer a reliable score of 30 with a chance for 50 over the riskier mid-50s with a possibility of only low 20s.
Nique Clifford, Colorado State ($9K)
Despite the Mountain West’s historical struggles in the tournament, both Dent and Clifford, who have also scored 30 DK points or more per game since January 14, could potentially change the narrative this year.
Clifford has exceeded 48 DK points in ten games this season, making him a standout pick today against Memphis’s defense, which poses minimal threat.
Today’s DraftKings Forwards – CBB DFS Lineup Picks
Nate Bittle, Oregon ($9.3K)
Bittle has proven to be a matchup issue for Liberty, consistently scoring over 30 DraftKings points per game since February 8, including a 62-point peak against Washington during this timeframe.
Zach Cleveland, Liberty ($6.5K)
Despite Oregon’s strong defense, Cleveland offers good value as he has not fallen below 24 DraftKings points in his recent games since February 22, showcasing consistent potential against Bittle.
