RG Newsletter #21: DFS/Betting Community News, Stats, Trends, And More!
Hey Grinders!
When are we going to give the Jazz some respect? Utah sits atop the Western Conference with the best record in the NBA (26-6), 4+ games ahead of the Clippers/Lakers/Sixers/Nets. And they’re a ridiculous 24-8 against the spread. Yet, they have the 5th-best title odds. And outside of Jazz fans, they get no attention on Twitter. Utah deserves some love!
As always, hit us up on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook if you have something you want to see in this space!
In this week’s edition:
- NBA Top Shot Giveaway
- Top Shot to the Moon
- THE BAT Goes Live
- Quick Hitters
- Nicole’s Knowledge Nugget

TOP SHOT TO THE MOON
Speaking of NBA Top Shot, it just continues to explode! Plenty of big names around the DFS industry are getting in on the action, and even some NBA players (shoutout Tyrese Haliburton).
Our guys Dean Shavelson, Tyler Tamboline, Dan Back and Brennan Ruby revisited Top Shot and dove into the recent growth in this week’s edition of Card Stock After Lock.
Definitely worth watching if you’re interested in the market or just want to know what all the Twitter chatter is about.

THE BAT GOES LIVE
Derek Carty’s THE BAT projection system is live for the 2021 season!
THE BAT incorporates all the necessary basics, like park factors and platoon splits, plus many lesser-considered factors like air density and umpires to give you an edge on the competition. And as of 2020, it also uses Statcast data!
THE BAT works with LineupHQ to help you build lineups, and it includes Stack, Ceiling, Floor, and Percentile projections for GPP players. More info HERE!
