Draftkings NCAA Basketball Picks: Georgetown vs. WSU 3/31/25

This Monday night, the NCAA presents Draftkings basketball fans with a matchup featuring the Georgetown Hoyas and the Washington State Cougars. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.

Before we dive into the Georgetown Hoyas vs. Washington State Cougars game let’s review the rules for the 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 Georgetown vs. Washington State matchup.

Captain-Ethan Price, Forward, Washington State Cougars $7,300

The Washington State Cougars boast a high-powered offense, averaging 76.2 points per game in the team’s last ten outings. A big reason why the Cougars have been successful from an offensive perspective is talented forward Ethan Price. Let’s review Price’s relevant player data from this season to better shed light on his contributions to his team.

In the 33 games that forward Ethan Price has played for the Washington State Cougars in the 2024 NCAA season (including postseason games), Price is averaging a robust 13.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.8 blocks and 0.5 steals a game.

Looking closer at the data just presented, in the 33 games that Ethan Price has played this season, Price has compiled a 49.5% field goal percentage, a 38.3% three-point percentage and a 79.5% free throw percentage.

More recently, in the Washington State Cougars 94-77 win over the Loyola Marymount Lions earlier this month, Washington State forward Ethan Price certainly played at a high level. More specifically, Price accumulated 22 points, five rebounds and four assists in the Washington State Cougars victory over the Lions.

Examining the data just presented more closely, in the Cougars win over Loyola Marymount, Ethan Price tallied 34.3 Draftkings points. Clearly, Ethan Price can post a high number of DFS points on any given night.

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

In my opinion, Ethan Price is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points on this one game DFS slate. Having stated that, I am rolling with Washington State Cougars forward Ethan Price at the captain position for this one game Draftkings NCAA Showdown contest.
