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.

No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.

Nikola Jokic ($12,200), Aaron Gordon ($6,200) and Christian Braun ($6,400) all sat out Wednesday. All three are probable for Friday. If Murray returns to action, Russell Westbrook ($8,000) would […]

Mission accomplished, as they traded a bevy of prospects for Garrett Crochet. Crochet could always miss bats, but like most young pitchers, had control issues early […]

Unfortunately, he’s had issues staying healthy throughout his career, playing a total of 214 games over six seasons. Williamson missed the entire 2021 campaign and has only two seasons with over 50 games played. […]

Last season, the fastball averaged 95.7 mph while it was 98.4 mph the year before that, although much of that was as a reliever. During his first regular season start, the fastball averaged 95.5 mph, but he allowed […]
