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.
I’m not going to sugarcoat things. This eight-game featured slate is going to be an absolute mess. A real nightmare. Not only are we in the final two weeks of the NBA’s regular season, but there are six teams on the second night of a back-to-back on Wednesday. Welcome to injury report Hell. Still… If […]

The worst part about early-season baseball is the weather. Unfortunately for us, we’ve got some spots to keep an eye on for tonight’s nine-game featured slate. Tigers-Mets looks like a complete avoid, as that contest could be called as soon as this afternoon. They’re also expecting rain in Chicago, but not enough to have too […]

You know what? I already made an April Fools’ joke in the other piece I wrote for DraftKings Network this morning, so we’re just going to keep things simple in this space. There’s 14 games on the diamond today. Listed below are the bets I like. It’s that straight forward. We’re 1-1 (-0.4u) for the […]

We’ve made it to April. What a time to be alive! Considering the day, I feel it might be necessary to begin this article by assuring you that none of the following recommendations are intended as a prank. Unless, of course, they don’t end up playing well. Then I was totally joking. Got you. April […]

These final couple weeks of the regular season are going to be a bloodbath when it comes to injuries, and Friday is no exception. In fact, of the seven most-expensive players on this 10-game slate, six carry an injury designation. The other is Victor Wembanyama ($10,600). Thanks, Victor. I appreciate you. Let’s dive in and […]

Let’s just call out the elephant in the room right away: Everyone is questionable for tonight’s 10-game featured NBA slate. That’s sort of become the norm at this time of the year, but it’s annoying none the less. If you’re going to be injured, have the decency to be definitively ruled out. That’s what I […]

We are so back, baby. While we got a quick, nocturnal taste of regular season baseball last week in Korea, Thursday is the real deal. Opening Day. 15 games. 30 teams. One big smile from yours truly. DraftKings’ featured MLB slate gets going with the 4:10 p.m. ET wave. Let’s get an early start and […]

This is the last Monday of March, which means that we suddenly only have three Mondays left in the NBA’s regular season. That being said, some teams checked out weeks ago, and it shows. In fact, this slate has Charlotte, Toronto, Detroit and Washington on it, so there’s a decent chance that we’ll have to […]

We’ve made it. The saddest Friday slate of the NBA season. While I’m not one of these deranged people that will tell you college basketball is better than the professional product — it’s not even close — I will sing the praises of the first two days of March Madness. They are an unimpeachable sports […]

MVP has always been one of my favorite acronyms. Honestly, it’s right up there with BRB, ICYMI and IMHO in the acronym Hall of Fame. MVP is also one of the many MLB awards that you can bet on using the DraftKings Sportsbook, so it has that going for it, too. Let’s take a closer […]

I’m honestly curious if as many people will get up at 6:00 a.m. ET to watch Game 2 of the Seoul Series as did for Game 1. I’ll admit, I went back to sleep after a few innings of baseball goodness, but the presence of Yoshinobu Yamamoto ($12,000) might be enough to make me set […]
