Daily Fantasy College Basketball 2015: DraftKings Lineup Advice for March 5

College basketball fans are teeming with anticipation for the conference tournaments, but the end of the regular season will have to suffice. Thursday night brings us a slate of seven games and myriad players to choose from. Here's a look at one ideal lineup and a breakdown of five players to target.

Position	Player	Upcoming Opponent	Salary
G	Michael Qualls	@ USC	$7,700
G	DaVonte Lacy	Utah	$7,400
G	Jordan Mathews	@ Arizona	$5,400
F	Stanley Johnson	California	$7,600
F	Sam Dekker	@ Minnesota	$6,500
F	Maurice Walker	Wisconsin	$5,300
UTIL	Rosco Allen	@ Arizona State	$4,600
UTIL	Laimonas Chatkevicius	Arkansas	$5,400

Position	No. 1 Target	No. 2 Target	Top Value
Guard	Ryan Boatright ($9,000)	Chasson Randle ($8,800)	Trahson Burrell ($4,700)
Forward	Frank Kaminsky ($10,000)	Bobby Portis ($8,800)	Rosco Allen ($4,600)

G Michael Qualls, Arkansas ($7,700)

Like every team this season that has taken on Kentucky, Arkansas was unable to knock off the Wildcats. That wasn't due to a lack of effort from Michael Qualls, who registered 17 points and nine rebounds for the Razorbacks.

Averaging 15.2 points and 5.3 rebounds per game this season, Qualls has production equivalent to a top forward. Tack on his .353 shooting percentage from behind the arc, and Qualls is the ideal guard to target for owners who want to find production at a reasonable price.

G Jordan Mathews, California ($5,400)

Trying to find a player who averages over 21 fantasy points per game at a price for a No. 3 guard? Seems impossible, right? Wrong. That's exactly what owners will get in Jordan Mathews.

The sophomore has started to heat back up for the Golden Bears and has over 20 fantasy points in his last two games. Cal's official Twitter account points out just how phenomenal he's been from outside the arc:

If he can knock down a few more treys and score 16 points—like he did earlier in the year against Arizona—Mathews will be perfect for the third guard spot.

F Stanley Johnson, Arizona ($7,600)

He may just be a freshman, but Stanley Johnson is certainly worth the high price. The Arizona big man does it all for the Wildcats and can be the top forward in DraftKings lineups for savvy owners.

Sure, Bobby Portis is a star, but saving $1,200 on Johnson is the best choice for Thursday night. Coming off a double-double against Utah, Johnson faces a California team that he lit up on the road. Playing at home against the Bears, look for Johnson to approach 30 fantasy points again.

F Sam Dekker, Wisconsin ($6,500)

He may not be the star of the team like Frank Kaminsky, but Sam Dekker deserves to be in every DraftKings lineup. The junior puts up fantasy points in myriad ways through scoring, rebounding and even registering assists.

Dekker had a down game during the first meeting with Minnesota, scoring just five points with three rebounds. This season, Dekker has actually produced over four more fantasy points per game on the road. Going on the road against the Gophers, expect Dekker to shine on Thursday night.

UTIL Laimonas Chatkevicius, South Carolina ($5,400)

Currently in his third year with South Carolina, Laimonas Chatkevicius has worked his way up to playing over 20 minutes per game. In Frank Martin's system, Chatkevicius is now finally a productive forward down low for the Gamecocks.

For an injury-riddled team, the 6'11" junior has registered over 30 fantasy points in his last two games. Chatkevicius commented on stepping up for the Gamecocks, via David Cloninger of The State:

Even if he doesn't hit double digits in points, Chatkevicius will make an impact by pulling down boards for USC. Tab him in a utility spot and expect his production to remain high.
