The NCAA presents Draftkings basketball fans with a tournament matchup featuring the Arkansas Razorbacks and the Kansas Jayhawks. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Arkansas Razorbacks vs. Kansas Jayhawks game let’s review the Draftkings single game showdown contest rules.
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.
