Griffin Wong has been a content writer at DK Network since November 2024. Prior to that, he was the former sports editor for the Harvard Crimson, where he covered the football team for two years and earned four Story of the Year nominations from the Associated College Press. A lifelong Lakers and Dodgers fan, Griffin’s favorite athlete of all time is Kobe Bryant. When he’s not writing, Griffin is usually skiing, running, golfing, or playing basketball — badly.
Sometimes, football’s biggest game is determined long before the final whistle blows, if a team has a significant lead and can just run down the clock, pick up a final first down, and kneel out the victory. For most people, the most exciting games end on game-winning touchdown drives. But to me, there’s nothing more […]

Arguably the most shocking trade deadline in NBA history has come and gone, and after a few years of mostly dull deadlines, basketball is the talk of the sports world, even though there are only three days left until the Super Bowl. Jimmy Butler and De’Aaron Fox were the two most obvious big names that […]

Records are records for a reason, but they’re there to be broken. Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley is used to breaking them. The Super Bowl rushing record was set 37 years ago, when Washington’s Timmy Smith rushed for 204 yards in a 42-10 decimation over the Denver Broncos. What’s more, Smith required only 22 […]

As the dust settles on the NBA trade deadline, it’s likely that the second-most expensive center on tonight’s slate — the Dallas Mavericks’ Anthony Davis ($10,500) won’t play. Still, that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of high-quality center options for DFS players to choose from on tonight’s six-game slate. Let’s take a look at my […]

During the Super Bowl, the Kansas City Chiefs’ offense is widely expected to operate around the legendary duo of Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, given that the two have combined for 1,745 receiving yards in 20 playoff games together. But Kelce isn’t the only receiver Mahomes has; former Texas Longhorns star Xavier Worthy was a […]

The interior of the Philadelphia Eagles’ defensive line is massive, with two former star Georgia nose tackles who fell arguably lower than they should have in the NFL Draft. Jordan Davis, the 13th overall pick in the 2022 Draft, has been solid. But the man who came in a year later, Jalen Carter — selected […]

Amid all the discourse about the shocking Luka Dončić-Anthony Davis blockbuster, perhaps the funniest is the subset of Atlanta Hawks fans that claim that Atlanta has emerged victorious in the draft day trade that swapped Dončić with Trae Young on draft night in 2018, especially given that Young has been the subject of trade rumors […]

Entering the season, it looked like tonight’s nationally televised battle between the Phoenix Suns and the Oklahoma City Thunder would see Kevin Durant take on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander — old guard vs. new guard — but now, it’s not so clear. Durant is in trade rumors once again, with a Golden State Warriors reunion the most […]

It was always supposed to end this way — a battle between two elite quarterbacks and former MVP finalists who have snuck under the radar this season. For most of the season, the discourse surrounding the Kansas City Chiefs was about the team winning in spite of Patrick Mahomes’ occasional struggles. Similarly, Saquon Barkley stole […]

With two days left before the NBA trade deadline, there will be no shortage of hoops action for fans on February 5. A lot can change before the new-look San Antonio Spurs and the Atlanta Hawks tip off the night’s action at 7 p.m. ET, and there’s already been a former All-Star on the move […]
