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.

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 […]

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.

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 […]
