Later today, the NCAA presents Draftkings basketball fans with a regular season matchup featuring the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Missouri Tigers. Let’s take a look at this game from a Draftkings perspective.

Before we dive into the Alabama Crimson Tide vs. Missouri Tigers game let’s review the rules for Draftkings single game showdown contest.

Draftkings Single Game Showdown Contest Rules

You have $50,000 to utilize on five players from either team. However, one of those players will be designated as your team captain. The captain accumulates 1.5 times the standard fantasy points. Additionally, the captain is 1.5 times the standard cost of the flex position.

The remaining four players in your lineup will receive the standard fantasy points. Having stated that, it is highly important for you to identify the correct player for your captain position if you hope to win a large field DFS GPP (guaranteed prize pool) showdown contest.

If you have additional questions regarding the rules for the single game showdown contest, I recommend that you check out the Draftkings website for more details.

*I recommend that all readers review the starting lineups for both teams prior to setting your DFS lineup for this one game slate.

Here are my Draftkings picks for tonight’s Alabama Crimson Tide vs. Missouri Tigers matchup.

Draftkings NCAA College Basketball Showdown Picks

Captain-Mark Sears, Guard, Alabama Crimson Tide $10,600

Senior guard Mark Sears has certainly been a standout performer for the Alabama Crimson Tide this season. To better understand the importance of the talented guard’s contributions to the Alabama basketball team’s achievements this season let’s review Sears game data from the 2024 NCAA regular season.

In the 25 games that guard Mark Sears has played for the Alabama Crimson Tide in the 2024 NCAA regular season, Sears is averaging a robust 17.8 points, 3.1 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 0.9 steals a game.

Looking closer at the data just presented, in the 25 games that Mark Sears has played for the Alabama Crimson Tide this season, Sears has compiled a 47.1% field goal percentage, a 28.6 three-point percentage and a free throw percentage of 85.1%.

Earlier this month, in the Alabama Crimson Tide’s 113-80 win over the Texas Longhorns, Alabama guard Mark Sears played rather well. More specifically, Sears accumulated 18 points, two rebounds, three assists and one steal in the Crimson Tide’s victory over the Texas Longhorns.

Examining the data just presented more closely, in the Alabama Crimson Tide’s win over the Texas Longhorns just mentioned, Mark Sears tallied 26.5 Draftkings points.

Keep that in mind as you construct your lineups for this one game Draftkings slate.

In my opinion, Mark Sears is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this evening’s NCAA regular season game. With that said, I am rolling with Alabama Crimson Tide guard Mark Sears at the captain position for this one game Draftkings NCAA Showdown contest.

If you have additional questions regarding the rules for the single game showdown contest, I recommend that you check out the Draftkings website for more details.

On Wednesday night, the NCAA presents Draftkings basketball fans with a regular season matchup featuring the Oklahoma Sooners and the Missouri Tigers. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.

Before we dive into the Oklahoma Sooners vs. Missouri Tigers game let’s review the rules for Draftkings single game showdown contest.

Draftkings Single Game Showdown Contest Rules

You have $50,000 to utilize on five players from either team. However, one of those players will be designated as your team captain. The captain accumulates 1.5 times the standard fantasy points. Additionally, the captain is 1.5 times the standard cost of the flex position.

The remaining four players in your lineup will receive the standard fantasy points. Having stated that, it is highly important for you to identify the correct player for your captain position if you hope to win a large field DFS GPP (guaranteed prize pool) showdown contest.

If you have additional questions regarding the rules for the single game showdown contest, I recommend that you check out the Draftkings website for more details.

*I recommend that all readers review the starting lineups for both teams prior to setting your DFS lineup for this one game slate.

Here are my Draftkings picks for this evening’s Oklahoma Sooners vs. Missouri Tigers matchup.

Draftkings NCAA College Basketball Showdown Picks

Captain-Jalon Moore, Forward, Oklahoma Sooners $10,400

Senior forward Jalon Moore has been a standout performer for the Oklahoma Sooners this season. With that in mind, what do the statistics say about Moore’s performance in 2024? To answer this question, let’s examine his game data from the 2024 NCAA regular season.

In the 23 games that Jalon Moore has played for the Oklahoma Sooners in the 2024 NCAA regular season, Moore is averaging 17.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 0.6 blocks and 0.7 steals a game.

Earlier this month, in the Oklahoma Sooners convincing 97-67 win over the Vanderbilt Commodores, Jalon Moore certainly played at a high level. Moore compiled 19 points, four rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in the Oklahoma Sooners victory over the Vanderbilt Commodores.

Examining the data just presented more closely, in the Sooners win over the Commodores, Jalon Moore amassed a robust 29.1 Draftkings points.

As I noted in the rules section above, selecting the correct player at the captain position for a Draftkings NBA showdown lineup is absolutely vital if you hope to win a large field GPP (guaranteed prize pool) DFS contest.

In my view, Jalon Moore is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this evening’s NCAA regular season game. For that specific reason, I am rolling with Oklahoma forward Jalon Moore at the captain position for this one game Draftkings NCAA Showdown contest.

Flex Plays

Jeremiah Fears, Guard, Oklahoma Sooners $8,400

In addition to forward Jalon Moore, Oklahoma Sooners guard Jeremiah Fears has been a key contributor to the team’s success this season.

In the 23 games that guard Jeremiah Fears has played for the Oklahoma Sooners in the 2024 NCAA regular season, Jeremiah Fears is averaging 15.5 points, 3.7 rebounds, 4 assists and 1.8 steals a game.

Looking closer at the data just presented, in the 23 games that guard Jeremiah Fears has played for the Oklahoma Sooners in the 2024 NCAA regular season, Fears is averaging 28.6 Draftkings points a game.

In conclusion, I fully expect Oklahoma guard Jeremiah Fears to continue his outstanding play versus the Missouri Tigers later today.

Additional flex plays I like to perform well in this game (Draftkings price noted): Mark Mitchell, Guard (Missouri Tigers) $10,600: Tony Perkins, Guard (Missouri Tigers) $7,400.
