February 12, 2025 9:00 pm EDT
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.
