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.

Draftkings NCAA Basketball Showdown Picks

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.

Flex Plays

LeJuan Watts, Forward, Washington State Cougars $11,000

In addition to Ethan Price, forward LeJuan Watts has been a key contributor for the Washington State Cougars this season.

In the 33 games LeJuan Watts has played for the Washington State Cougars in the 2024 NCAA season, Watts is averaging a rather impressive 13.5 points, 6.7 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.5 blocks a game.

In conclusion, I fully expect LeJuan Watts to continue his quality play in this evening’s matchup with the Georgetown Hoyas.

Additional flex plays I like to perform well (Draftkings price noted): Micah Peavy, Guard (Georgetown Hoyas) $12,000: Jayden Epps, Guard (Georgetown Hoyas) $9,200.

Washington State vs Georgetown Prediction 

Washington State comes into this matchup as a very high scoring team, but they also allow a ton of points on the defensive end of the court. Washington State did finish the season with some success, as they won three of their last four games. Georgetown is the much better defensive team in this matchup, but they are shooting just 44.5% from the field. The Hoyas have lost five of their last six games, including two bad losses to DePaul. Georgetown is probably the better team in this matchup, but Washington State is shooting 49% from the field and I think that offense will keep them in the game. Take the Cougars with the points.

San Francisco vs Washington State Prediction

San Francisco and Washington State split the first two games this season, with the favorite winning and covering the number. Washington State is coming off three nice wins, but now is stepping up in competition where it hasn’t had much success this season. San Francisco has the rest advantage and hasn’t lost two straight games since November. I’d need more points to give Washington State a serious look. This San Francisco defense that’s top-70 in scoring defense and third best in three-point defense should give Washington State hell with fresh legs. I’ll lay the small number with the Dons.

The Gonzaga Bulldogs are obviously the better team, capable of another blowout, as they beat the Cougars by 13 points about a month ago. However, Gonzaga has failed to cover seven of its last 10 games and is 10-17 ATS on the season. Gonzaga keeps getting these inflated numbers and isn’t cashing tickets. Gonzaga is 5-11 ATS in its last 16 games as a double-digit favorite. You can think whatever you want about Washington State, but I’m not laying big numbers with Gonzaga. Give me the points with Washington State at home.

The Saint Mary’s Gaels look like a legit contender in the WCC, and they’ve covered seven of their last 10 games. Washington State is 2-4 ATS in its last six games as a double-digit underdog. This game shouldn’t be close. Give me Saint Mary’s in a home beat down.

When these two teams faced off in December of 2023 it was Santa Clara that was able to secure the 69-61 victory. 

Washington State Looks for Third Straight Win

Washington State has a ton of confidence right now and they have won two straight games. Two games ago against San Diego, they won 65-61 and in the last game against Portland, they won 92-70. Nate Calmese was the top player, putting up 23 points, eight assists, and four rebounds. There were four different players that put up at least 12 points. In this game, they are going to need a balanced attack. 

Washington State sits with a 15-5 record overall and they have gone 13-7 against the spread. The over has hit in 10 of the 20 games. Washington State is averaging 81.5 points while their defense is giving up 74.9 points per game. The offense is ranked 38th in the league while the defense is ranked 236th. They are averaging 17.1 assists per game which is 27th in the league. Top scorer Cedric Coward is averaging 17.7 points but he’s still out with a shoulder injury. Rihards Vavers is dealing with a hand injury and is out for the season. 

Santa Clara Looks for Second Straight Win

Santa Clara faced off against Gonzaga in the last game on the road, and they put on quite a show. Santa Clara scored 59 points in the second half and that was enough for the 103-99 victory. Santa Clara shot 53.7 percent from the field and 47.4 percent from behind the three-point line. Tyrese Bryan had quite the game putting up 35 points, seven rebounds, and four assists.

Santa Clara comes into this game with a 13-7 record overall and they have gone 9-11 against the spread. Santa Clara is averaging 80.7 points while their defense is giving up 75.8 points per game.

They are also averaging 35.3 assists per game which is 56th in the league. 

Washington State vs Santa Clara Prediction

This really is a letdown spot for Santa Clara. After so much success against Gonzaga, there still has to be some concern with the defense. They gave up 99 points and their defense is going to really struggle. Washington State is averaging 81.5 points per game and they are going to really run up the score here. Santa Clara is going to struggle to keep up. Back Washington State against the spread.

San Diego vs Washington State Prediction

I’m on the Cougars of Washington State here. San Diego just doesn’t have the punch to hang around in a lot of these games, although they did cover against Gonzaga, I’m chalking that up to Gonzaga just not worrying about covering massive point spreads and the Zags getting pretty much the best effort from every team that they play this season. Washington State took a huge blow early in the year losing Cedric Coward, but I think that the Cougars have responded well to that adversity and will show up and get the job done in this game. Give me the Cougars in this one.

Washington State vs Pacific Prediction

I’m with Washington State here. I get the case to be made for a decent-sized underdog like Pacific, and the Tigers have done a decent job at keeping a lot of their score-lines respectable even in recent losses. However, the Cougars are still the far better team in this matchup from a talent perspective, and even though the Cougars don’t delve too deep into their bench they have a ton of players that can put a hurting on you offensively if you’re not up to the task and I don’t think that Pacific will be here. I think the Cougars pull away in the second half get the win and cover in this one.

Washington State vs Syracuse Prediction 

Washington State comes into this matchup on a three game losing streak and they are coming off of a bad loss against Wyoming to finish the regular season. The Cougars had a decent offense this season, but they are missing a lot of starters due to the transfer portal. Syracuse has won three games in a row and finished the season by upsetting Miami. The Orange have scored at least 31 points in five straight games and should feast on a Washington State defense that was bad before six starters opted out. This is a huge number to cover in a bowl game, but I honestly don’t know how Washington State is going to make this game competitive, as Mateer accounted for most of their production through the air and on the ground. Take Syracuse to win big here.

Boise State vs Washington State Prediction 

Boise State comes into the matchup with a solid win over Clemson earlier this season, but they also have losses against a bad Boston College team and San Francisco. The Broncos are shooting nearly 50% from the field, but they were held to just 61 points against BC. Washington State has losses to SMU and Iowa, but their best win is probably against Nevada, so they have yet to win a big game. The Cougars are shooting 47.3% from the field, but they are also scoring 82 points per game on the year. Boise State is the much better defensive team in this matchup and I think we are going to see a slow-paced game, so take the under here.

Washington State Cougars Betting Preview

Washington State got off to a nice start this year with wins over Portland State, Bradley, and Idaho. The Cougars would lose to Iowa before three more wins versus Northern Colorado, Eastern Washington, and Fresno State.

On Wednesday in their last outing, the Cougars held a 31-27 edge by halftime. Washington State was outscored 50-29 the rest of the way however, leading to a 77-60 defeat. Nate Calmese was tops on 15 points with six assists.

Nevada Wolf Pack Betting Preview

Over on the Nevada side, they beat Sam Houston, Washington, Weber State, and Santa Clara in their first quartet. The Wolf Pack would then lose to Vanderbilt before wins over VCU and Oklahoma State in the next trio.

Nevada held a 40-33 edge in the first half of their matchup versus Oklahoma State last Sunday. The Wolf Pack hit a 50-45 run from there in a 90-78 defeat. Kobe Sanders led the team with 27 points, and Nick Davidson added 23 points in 31 minutes of work.

Why the Nevada Wolf Pack will win

• Nevada has won each of its last 18 games against non-conference opponents at Lawlor Events Center.
• Nevada has won the first half in each of its last 12 games against non-conference opponents at Lawlor Events Center.

Why the Washington State Cougars will win

• Washington State has won each of its last 10 Monday games against non-conference opponents.
• Washington State has won the first half in each of its last nine games against non-AP-ranked opponents.

Nevada vs Washington State Prediction

I’ll lean toward Nevada. The Wolf Pack did a nice job last Sunday against a middling Oklahoma State team, hitting a stellar 58.9 percent from the field and 38.9 percent (7-of-18) from outside with 32 rebounds. Two of Nevada’s last three games have been decided by three points or fewer, however.

As for Washington State, they hit just 36.8 percent from the field in their loss to SMU. The Cougars had been scoring great over their previous three outings with 83 or more points in each. In fact, Washington State has 83 or more points in every win this year—and 66 or fewer in the two losses. I like this one to be somewhere in between, with Nevada eventually powering out a cover in a fun matchup.

Washington State vs Wyoming Prediction

The Wyoming Cowboys aren’t a good team, and backing them probably isn’t the best idea. The Washington State Cougars should win this game comfortably, but that’s been the case a lot, and they’ve been a letdown. Washington State is 3-6 ATS in its last 9 games as a double-digit favorite and has outright lost its last two as a double-digit favorite. This is more of a fade of Washington State than anything. Give me Wyoming and the points.

Washington State vs SMU Prediction

The SMU Mustangs are finding ways to win games for the most part, but they’re not rising to the occasion, and it feels like they’ve done just enough to skate by. SMU barely beat Cal Baptist, didn’t look good against Miss State, and didn’t show up against Butler. The Washington State Cougars have the offense to bully SMU if the Mustangs don’t come to play. I’ll roll with Washington State to get the job done.

Washington State vs Fresno State Prediction

Fresno State has won two games in a row, but their level of competition so far this season has been pretty low. The Bulldogs are only shooting 39.9% from the field and that just isn’t good enough. Take Washington State here.

I’m with Washington State here.

The Cougars are just the better team point blank and I think they get the win and cover on the road. Give me Wazzu.

The Washington State Cougars are the more talented team, and being at home is going to make this line even more inflated. However, I like the points with Northern Colorado. The Bears already beat South Dakota State on the road as an underdog and were a point away from upsetting Colorado as a double-digit underdog. The sample size is still small, but Northern Colorado is playing great ball at both ends of the floor. Give me the points.

New Mexico to stay alive in terms of bowl eligibility and Wazzu to make a case to the playoff committee even though it’s Boise State’s spot to lose. Give me the over.
