.stk-775ecf5{margin-bottom:23.000001907348633px !important}Last night was a good example of late breaking news and chaos that we'll see over the next month or so. Always remember to put your highest priced, latest played games in your utility spots to provide maximum flexibility to edit your lineup. These late swaps generally lead to lower ownership in tourneys (example below). Guys that we didn't mention may become very viable as well (see Yetna and Nkamhoua last night), so be diligent and flexible in your process. We'll do our best to pass along information as we see it as well. As always, we are here for you Bucketheads. As for tonight, we've got a somewhat ugly slate with only one game exceeding an over/under

Wednesday Mega-Slate $2K To 1st
Happy Hump Day, Bucketheads! We have a massive slate of CBB tonight and all of its content written up and ready for your consumption. In total 9 games (of 11) are available on tonight's slate as of this writing. Conference play tips off in the SEC where front runners Tennessee and Alabama make up a marquee 8:00 tip, while LSU and Auburn get our slate going at 6:00. In cross conference action the Jayhawks take on Nevada in a game that is sure to have fireworks. The largest over/under on the slate goes to Syracuse and Cornell who are projected for a total of 162 per the book makers! Should be a busy, and fun night of hoops! Let's enjoy
Holiday Hangover 7-gamer
Welcome back Bucketheads. Hope you all had a chance to recharge your battery, spend time with family and friends, and eat lots of great holiday chow. We'll have to shake off the holiday hangover, but we are ready to roll. Obviously, COVID continues to be an issue, but we are going to focus on what we can control. What we can control is providing the best CBB DFS content we can and do it for free. We are certainly an outlier in the DFS community, but your boys @cbb_dfs are in the holiday spirit year-round and want to do our best to help you win all the damn money. So, let’s not waste any more time on the intro
Wednesday Holiday Rush 8
It has been a frantic couple of weeks as we build towards the holidays. We know many of you are scrambling to wrap up work for a few days or get in some last minute shopping, making it hard to stay up on all the game cancellations or late player scratches. We do our best to communicate those as we see them but obviously hard to catch them all. We'll continue to scour the Twitter-verse and retweet pertinent news prior to tip, so give us a follow if you're not already. After a wild 10 9 games last night, we have 8 more tonight, highlighted by Arizona @ Tennessee. Looking at the matchups and implied scores, we should see a much
Ten on Tuesday!
I'll be honest. I didn't expect at 10-pack of games today, but with a few days off for Christmas, we'll take what we can get from a CBB DFS perspective. With such a large slate, don't get lost in an overabundance of data and options. Focus on those games with the highest over/unders and pricing errors to find value, as that is where we've spent the majority of our time and research on. This should help you maximize the chances of winning that $2k 1st place prize. Speaking of prize pools, we've asked Santa for an increase in those moving forward so hopefully the big guy can come through for us in 2022. In addition to the
Monday Cupcake 4-Pack
As we head into the holiday season, we kick the week off with 3 of the top 5 teams in the country each facing a 300+ ranked opponent with lines north of 30 points. Of course, when blow-out conditions are present, minutes tend to get spread out as coaches get their benches more run. So keep that in mind as you're assembling your winning lineup. Also, make sure to tune into our Twitter account @CBB_DFS before the games tip-off for late-breaking Covid and injury news, so you aren't left out in the cold! One last thing before we get into it, a special birthday cupcake for our own Joseph Harmon! Happy birthday buddy, thanks for all that you do for
Friday Four
We have a small, but welcomed 4-game slate tonight with a premier Big East showdown, three high level min major squads, and Byrd's adopted ACC love Wake Forest all on the schedule. Point totals won't blow you away, but lines are all within double digits which should make for some good basketball action. Finals week has been a bit of a bear from a DFS perspective, almost like taking actual finals. Looking forward to the holiday ahead and really diving into conference play in 2022! #LFG #CBBDFS Game, Lines, and Over/UndersGuardsForwardsPrize Picks 12/17/21 GameTimeLineO/URICH @ NCST5:30RICH -2141.5VU @ CRE7:00VU -6.5130.5CHAR @ WAKE8:00WAKE -9.5139.5STMRY @ SDSU9:00STMRY -3117.5*All games are neutral sites tonight GUARDS WE LIKE Dereon Seabron, NCST (G, 9000) – Price is starting inch
Torturous 6-Game Slate – Junkies Only!
This slate... not for the casual fans. I'll keep it at that to keep our content clean for all readers. Duke is on the slate, as well as Stanford, but those two are the only Power 6 programs of the 12 teams we get to play from. Over/Unders range from 120 to 150 and lines from 4 to 21.5. DraftKings pricing has enough data to calibrate to season performance so the obvious plays aren't as abundant, but there are some out there. This one is for the Junkies!

As we continue into finals week for most schools, we have a mix of mid-majors and power teams playing cupcakes in preparation for league play. DK is giving us a $10k Slam Jam with $3k going to the winner. The lines are all over the map and the slate offers plenty of elite action as well as some value, so plenty of opportunity to find an edge. Coincidently, that's what we're here to help you do.
