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.

Man, time flies, as we will soon be enjoying playoff splendor. By now, we have sifted the contenders from the pretenders. I think we’ve always known which teams would surrender, but how about Denver?

After last night’s wimpy wimpy wimpy slate of two games, we have a hefty hefty hefty 11-gamer tonight. The prospects for lineup shenanigans are high because of the multitude of injuries and back-to-backs. That means there should be plenty of value popping up. CHA, CHI, MIL, NOP, NYK and SAS all play on Saturday as […]
