FanDuel World Fantasy Basketball Champtionship - Live Blog

It’s time for the 2019 FanDuel World Fantasy Basketball Championship. Our friends at FanDuel are hosting the finalist live in Southern California where $1,500,000 is on the line. We’ll be following along here tonight with updates as we head towards the crowning of a new champion!

7:30PM – Many are still recovering from the James Harden late news, but we press forward. It looks like we have some high ownership on the likes of Kent Bazemore and Kelly Oubre (both 70%+ owned) and they’ve propelled awesemo out to the early lead.

8:33PM – Behind 32.5 points from 14.7% owned Tyler Johnson (at just $4.7K), thatstunna has taken over as our leader. With the later games prepping for tip-off shortly, it’s obviously still anyone’s Championship to win.

9:23PM – With Tyler Johnson now hitting the 50+ plateau, thatstunna still sits in first place. Check Diallo was popular (50.7% owned) and is looking like a pivotal value play this evening. It’s still early and things are still very crowded near the top of the leaderboard.
