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.

It took a week, but you know the NBA regular season has official started, because All-Star players are beginning to drop like flies. Scottie Barnes (eye) and Paolo Banchero (oblique) are going to be missing long-term, while the league has fined the 76ers $100,000 for whatever the heck is happening with Joel Embiid (knee). It’s […]

Scottie Barnes left Monday’s loss to the Nuggets with an eye injury late in the fourth quarter. The ailment occurred when Barnes took an involuntary elbow to the face from Nikola Jokic when attempting to grab an offensive rebound.

Mookie Betts has flown a little under the radar in the World Series. With so many people focused on Shohei Ohtani’s injury, or Aaron Judge’s struggles at the plate, or Freddie Freeman’s heroics, there hasn’t been much bandwidth left over for the former AL MVP, who has admittedly had a pretty quiet few performances.
