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.

UPDATE: Harden is available tonight vs. the Knicks. Do you realize how durable 35-year-old James Harden has been this season?
