Thursday’s College Basketball DFS Picks: PrizePicks Selections for March 26, 2026
Sweet Sixteen action opens Thursday, March 26, 2026, as the NCAA Tournament narrows toward the Elite Eight. PrizePicks DFS Picks are in focus for bettors and fantasy players today.
PrizePicks pick’em basics
PrizePicks requires at least two player selections. Pick “more” or “less” than the projected stat to win.
Players can be mixed across sports. Use a flex entry to allow one miss and still cash. Use a power play to chase bigger payouts, but all legs must hit.
Player selections and reasoning
Oscar Cluff, C — Purdue
Cluff has been a rim protector and rebounder in the tournament. He posted nine points, 11 rebounds and four blocks against Queens (NC) in the first round.
In the second round versus Miami, he finished with eight points, seven rebounds and two blocks in 32 minutes. The suggested PrizePicks play is More than 0.5 blocked shots.
Brayden Burries, G — Arizona
Burries has heated up since a scoreless outing in the Big 12 Tournament semifinal. He has three straight games with 16-plus points.
Through two NCAA games he is averaging 17.0 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists. He has made seven triples in those contests. The pick is More than 25.5 points+rebounds+assists, given Arkansas’ defensive profile.
Kingston Flemings, G — Houston
Houston cruised by big margins in its first two tournament wins. Flemings dominated an early game but struggled against Texas A&M.
