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 are down to the last two matchups to fill the Conference Semifinal brackets on each side. And they both happen to be the 4/5 matchups, with the lower seeds at home tonight trying to force a Game 7. In the DAL/LAC series, home court has meant diddly squat, as the road team has won […]

There are two games tonight, both in the Eastern Conference. IND has a chance to close out their series with MIL at home while PHI is at home, trying to force a Game 7 at MSG. Giannis Antetokounmpo ($10,900) is officially doubtful, but ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that he could return tonight. Joel Embiid ($10,700), […]

All three games are in the Eastern Conference side of the bracket. East Coast bias!!! I kid, I kid. The Thunder, Timberwolves and Nuggets all took care of business in their respective series already. CLE/ORL are tied at 2-2 with the series moving back to Cleveland tonight. IND and NYK can close things out and […]

We have three games tonight, but all with different circumstances. OKC has dominated all series and is looking for the sweep. DEN came back in all three games, but couldn’t make it four in a row. Now they are looking to close things out at home. MIA got the split in BOS, which was cute, […]

We have three Game 3s tonight. All of the higher seeds took care of business at home. Now the venues change. The odds are bleak for the teams down 0-2, but they will become insurmountable if they go down 0-3. There have been 151 NBA teams to go down 0-3. Only four forced a Game […]

We have three games tonight. MIN is at home against PHO, MIL hosts IND and LAC welcomes DAL once again. So far, home teams are 11-0 in these playoffs. Giannis Antetokounmpo ($10,900) has missed the last four games and is doubtful tonight. Kawhi Leonard ($8,000), Grayson Allen ($5,300) and Kyle Anderson ($3,800) are questionable. Keep […]

We have three games tonight. CLE hosts ORL, NYK hosts PHI and DEN hosts LAL. All the home teams were victorious in Game 1 of their respective series. In the first round, 93.4 percent of teams (183 games) have won the series after going up 2-0, so a split is imperative if the lower-seeded teams […]

The final pieces of the NBA playoff puzzle will be determined tonight, as both conferences will finally have the opponents for their respective No. 1 seeds illuminated. The No. 8 seed Heat will host the No. 9 seed Bulls in the Eastern Conference, while the No. 7 Pelicans will host the No. 9 seed Kings […]

We talkin’ bout playoffs?! Indeed. It’s about that time, as the Western Conference side of the bracket is what constitutes Tuesday’s slate. The 9-seed Kings host the 10-seed Warriors, with the loser golfing. The 7-seed Pelicans host the 8-seed Lakers. The winner faces the 2-seed Nuggets while the loser faces the winner of the Kings/Warriors […]

The NBA went full Oprah on us for Friday, as every team is playing. Then the feat will be replicated on Sunday after no teams play on Saturday. This will be my last regular season hoops piece for this season. I hope that I was able to assist in your DFS journey this season and […]
