Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.

Karl-Anthony Towns ($9,900) missed Tuesday’s game due to a personal reason, but he’s good to go for Thursday’s contest against the Los Angeles Lakers. The Knicks will be embarking on a five-game West Coast road trip against the Lakers, Clippers, Kings, Trail Blazers and Warriors. Over the last 10 games, the Lakers are 3rd in […]

UPDATE: Haliburton is out. Tyrese Haliburton ($8,800) has missed only one game this season, which came back on January 14 due to hamstring tightness. He’s in danger of missing his second due to a hip issue, as he’s now questionable for Thursday’s game against the Atlanta Hawks. Haliburton did play 36 minutes on Tuesday and […]

UPDATE: Irving has been ruled out for the remainder of the game. With around 2 minutes left in the first quarter of Monday’s game against the Sacramento Kings, Kyrie Irving ($9,500) drove down the lane but suffered a non-contact injury in the process. He stayed on his stomach for a bit before getting up to […]

UPDATE: Nick Nurse said that the injury isn’t too serious and is considered day-to-day. Halfway through the third quarter of Monday’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers, Tyrese Maxey ($9,000) drove down the baseline. As he was about to go up for a layup, a defender met him and Maxey tried to go around the […]

Early in the first quarter of Monday’s game against the Atlanta Hawks, Jaren Jackson Jr. ($8,000) went up to block a layup attempt on a fast break. Unfortunately, after he landed, his left rolled over and Jackson is now in the locker room. Prior to exiting, Jackson did not accumulate any stats in two minutes […]

UPDATE: After initially being listed as questionable, Luka Doncic ($11,000) has been upgraded to probable for Tuesday’s matchup with the Pelicans. Meanwhile, Austin Reaves (calf) has been downgraded from questionable to out. With Reaves missing, Gabe Vincent ($4,100) should draw his second straight start. With Doncic probable, the Lakers are a 9.5-point favorite over the […]

Evan Mobley has been ruled out for Tuesday’s game against the Chicago Bulls. The official designation is rest. It’s the front end of a back-to-back for Cleveland. The Cavaliers have a record of 50-10, 7.5 games ahead of the second-seed Boston Celtics. Cleveland has three more back-to-backs this season, so there’s a good chance Mobley […]

Karl-Anthony Towns ($9,800) has been dealing with a knee issue, causing him to miss last Wednesday’s game. He did play 31 and 40 minutes in the two most recent contests and shot 6-of-11 from the field while grabbing 16 rebounds on Sunday, so Towns looks to be fine physically. He is listed as questionable for […]
