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.
We’ve got the Texans vs. the Chiefs and Commanders against the Lions. Two of these teams will be dancing with girls that are Hawaiian while the other two continue to climb up Mt.

Editor’s Note: Texans RB Joe Mixon (ankle) is expected to play, per FOX Sports’ Jordan Schultz. Joe Mixon ($6,500) rushed 30 times for 159 yards and a touchdown in his Texans debut. Unfortunately, he suffered an injury in Week 2, causing him to miss the next three weeks. When he returned, he exceeded the 100-yard […]

Nuggets center Nikola Jokic was not on the injury report heading into Wednesday’s contest against the Houston Rockets. Roughly an hour before tipoff, though, he was ruled out due to elbow inflammation. The injury occurred during warmups. DeAndre Jordan will likely get the start in Jokic’s place. With Jokic off the court this season, Russell […]

Hartenstein played 31 minutes on Tuesday, contributing nine points, 16 rebounds, three assists, a steal and a block. Unfortunately, he strained his calf at some point and is now out for at least one week. It’s a big blow for a Thunder team that is already without Chet Holmgren. Now they have to face the […]

He missed Tuesday’s contest and there were concerns because he dealt with the same injury multiple times last season.
