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.
After last night’s 13-game Whopper, we get a five-piece nugget meal tonight. I personally like the smaller slates, so hopefully the guidance is less terrible than normal. As a Lakers fan, I’d just like to reiterate that the Lakers won the In-Season Tournament. Oh, they also play tonight. LeBron James ($9,700) and Anthony Davis ($9,800) […]

We have a massive 13-game slate tonight. The IST Champion Los Angeles Lakers get to spend another night in Las Vegas, reveling in their victory, smoking cigars and rolling dice while watching the rest of the peasants frolick up and down the basketball court. As usual, on a big slate such as this, there are […]

We have a massive 13-game slate tonight. There will be no games on Saturday and Sunday, which makes me very, very sad. It is what it is, though, so let’s be thankful for what we have. Obviously, the player pool is going to be massive with a plethora of options, so there will be many […]

The semi-finals of the In-Season Tournament is tonight’s slate. My question is this? Since it’s in Las Vegas, and what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, will these games exist if we are not there to witness them, and will they turn into pumpkins at the stroke of midnight? I just combined a bunch of […]

The NBA In-Season tournament knockout stage started yesterday with a two-game slate. I need more, as the games were faaaaaantastic last night. The gods have listened….<feels tap on shoulder>… ”This is how the NBA scheduled things before the start of the season,” says my imaginary intern. Shut up, stupid intern. As for injuries we need […]

We have a two-game slate tonight. These games will be the In-Season Tournament Quarterfinals, so it’s win or go home! NBA is faaaaaaaaaantastic. Boston will be without Kristaps Porzingis while Indiana could be without Tyrese Haliburton ($10,900) and Obi Toppin ($5,200). Haliburton is the conductor of the Pacers potent offense, so whether he plays or […]

We have a six-game slate for tonight. Kristaps Porzingis is the only notable player listed out as of now. UPDATE: Luka Doncic has also been ruled out. This will be his first missed game of the season. Kyrie Irving ($9,100) definitely benefits but it’s actually Tim Hardaway Jr. ($5,500) who has seen the biggest usage […]

We have a nine-game slate for tonight. Chris Paul is out while Anthony Edwards ($9,100) is doubtful. Edwards hasn’t missed a game this season, so there is uncertainty as to who will replace him. UPDATE: Kyle Anderson said that Edwards will not play tonight. Nickeil Alexander-Walker ($4,900) will probably start at shooting guard with Kyle […]

It’s December! What happened to November, October and September? They are all floating in the jet stream like burning embers. Dismembered. 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? […]

We have an eight-game slate for tonight. As usual, there are a bunch of injuries to monitor, so keep track of all pertinent updates at DK Live. As of now, I’m not looking to pay up for many of the top players unless value opens up. There are options in the tiers below. The smaller […]

We have a five-game slate for tonight. Water is wet and LeBron James ($9,700) is questionable. So are Jordan Poole ($6,800), Lauri Markkanen ($8,500) and Jordan Clarkson ($7,400). Keep track of all pertinent updates at DK Live. In terms of back-to-backs, DEN and POR played last night. None of the teams play tomorrow night. DraftKings […]
