NCAA Tournament FanDuel lineup picks
F DeAndre Bembry, St. Joseph’s ($9,600): Bembry is one of the best players in the tournament and is coming off a 45.7-fantasy point (FP) perfomance against Cincinnati. He’s a must-have today in a fast-paced game against Oregon.
F Danuel House, Texas A&M ($6,700): House, who is averaging 34.4 FP in his last two games, will use his athleticism to his advantage again today against Northern Iowa.
F Clide Geffrard, Jr., Stephen F. Austin ($6,500): He’s producing great numbers at a low price and coming off a 32.1-FP performance. He’s a great value pick at a bargain price against Notre Dame.
F V.J. Beachem, Notre Dame ($5,600): Beachem’s jumper has been falling and he can score fantasy points in bunches. Coming off a 27.7-FP game, Beachem is hot right now and deserves a look against SFA.

G Thomas Walkup, Stephen F. Austin ($10,100): Walkup played one heck of a game on Friday, dropping 57.8 fantasy points against a tough West Virginia defense. Walkup is a must-have today in a much easier matchup against Notre Dame’s weak defense.
G Peter Jok, Iowa ($6,700): Averaging 29.9 FP in his last two games, Jok is a steal today against Villanova at a very low price.
G Jaqawn Raymond, Middle Tennessee St. ($4,800): Coming off a 24.3-FP performance, Raymond is a value tonight at this price. Give him a chance against Syracuse as your sleeper.
G Quincy Smith, Hawai’i ($4,800): Smith is a solid guard in a good Hawai’i backcourt. He’s coming off a 20.6-FP game and could do the same tonight against Maryland.
