The NCAA Tournament concludes Monday night in Minneapolis as the 2019 National Championship unfolds at 9:20 p.m. ET between the top-seed Virginia Cavaliers and 3-seed Texas Tech Red Raiders. Both teams are known for their elite defense, meaning college basketball DFS players will have to dig deep to find the best CBB DFS picks for tournaments such as the $25K Monday CBB Super All-American on FanDuel and $100K National Championship Special on DraftKings. Before figuring out if players like Jarrett Culver, Kyle Guy, Ty Jerome or De'Andre Hunter should be in your lineup, check out the top 2019 National Championship game DFS lineups, picks and advice from SportsLine's Mike McClure.
McClure is a DFS professional with nearly $2 million in career winnings. He's also a predictive data engineer at SportsLine who uses a powerful prediction model that simulates every minute of every game 10,000 times, taking factors like matchups, statistical trends and injuries into account. This allows him to find the best college basketball DFS values and create optimal lineups that he shares only over at SportsLine. They're a must-see for any college basketball DFS player.
For Virginia vs. Texas Tech DFS contests, we can tell you McClure is extremely high on Virginia guard Kyle Guy at $11,500 on FanDuel and $12,900 on DraftKings.
Guy left zero doubt about his ability to handle the big stage when he nailed three free throws with 0.6 seconds remaining to help the Cavaliers knock off Auburn in the Final Four. And while that moment grabbed most of the headlines, Guy has been on a roll overall in the 2019 NCAA Tournament, averaging 20 points and 6.5 rebounds in the Elite Eight and Final Four.
Part of McClure's optimal CBB DFS strategy for the 2019 college basketball national title game includes stacking Guy with Ty Jerome ($13,000 on FanDuel, $14,700 on DraftKings) as Virginia's backcourt looks to continue its sizzling postseason. Jerome has averaged 23 points over the last two rounds and has also been a strong producer of assists (13) and rebounds (14) during that span.
McClure is also targeting an overlooked player who has a dream matchup on Monday. The stars are aligning for him to return huge points on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel, and he comes at a much lower price than you would expect. This pick could be the difference between winning your college basketball DFS tournaments and cash games or going home with nothing.
