Garion is a Toronto-based writer who has been playing fantasy sports since elementary school. With a particular affinity for advanced statistics and sabermetrics, he’s been covering DFS Baseball, Football and Basketball for DraftKings dating back to 2018. Prior to that, Garion’s work could be found at FNTSY, SportsGrid, HoopsHype, The New York Daily News and Sportsnet.ca. Still, he is a Dolphins fan, so his decision-making can be questioned from time-to-time.
Both Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey missed the 76ers’ final game prior to the All-Star break, yet the duo is not listed on the team’s injury report for Thursday’s tilt with the Celtics. As has often been the case with Philadelphia’s 2024-25 season, it’s been an eventful few weeks for the franchise. Embiid returned from […]

Last season’s National League Cy Young Award was pretty cut and dry — as it should have been. After leading all qualified pitchers in both leagues in ERA (2.38), FIP (2.09), strikeout rate (32.1%) and fWAR (6.4), Chris Sale received 26 of a possible 30 first place votes. In all honesty, it probably should have […]

Well, this is sort of an odd way to welcome back the NBA, but due to prior postponements, the unofficial second half of the season will begin with a single-game slate in Los Angeles. At least we all get another chance to check out Luka Doncic ($10,600) in gold, right? Let’s dive in and find […]

While hitting on a late-round pick feels nice, there’s nothing more important in fantasy baseball than hitting on your first couple of picks. It truly seems like the quickest way to derail your entire season is whiffing in the first or second round on a player that is supposed to be the anchor of your […]

Here’s a quick word problem for you: If every team in the NBA played on Wednesday and 10 teams then play on Thursday, how many teams are on the second leg of a back-to-back set this evening? The answer is all 10. It’s going to be another wacky slate. Let’s go through everything you’ll need […]

We got the news we were all anticipating around 2:00 p.m. ET. With the Pelicans on the second leg of a back-to-back set on Thursday, Zion Williamson has been ruled out due to reconditioning. The former first-overall pick has yet to play in both games of a back-to-back in 2024-25. Heck, he’s only appeared in […]

Remember the last day of school before summer vacation? How it wasn’t really school, but just pure madness? That’s sort of the vibe I’m getting from tonight’s five-game NBA slate. Every team is on the second leg of a back-to-back set. Every player wants to get to the All-Star break. It’s going to get weird. […]

Let’s give some props to DraftKings for timing, right? On Tuesday, as pitchers and catchers around the league were reporting to Spring Training, MLB Best Ball returned to the contest lobby. Baseball is back, friends. Let us celebrate. For anyone unfamiliar with MLB Best Ball, here’s a quick tutorial. You draft a team of 20 […]

To say that Deandre Ayton gets injured a lot would be an understatement. Unfortunately for the Trail Blazers, that sentence is once again relevant. After exiting Monday night’s lopsided loss to the Nuggets with a calf issue, the team has determined that the former first-overall pick will miss at least the next four weeks. Ayton […]

Everyone rest up and drink your water. We’ve got a looooooong night on our hands. Every single NBA team is in action tonight. Yes. You read that right. All 30 teams are taking the court and 14 of the 15 games are included in DraftKings featured slate. It’s going to be wild. You’ll need all […]

UPDATE: Lillard has been ruled out. It’s a massive red flag when any player is downgraded on the injury report the day of the game, but especially so when said player is employed by the Bucks and it’s the team’s final contest before the All-Star break. We’ve seen Milwaukee go to comical lengths to get […]
