Today’s Events
- Today’s Action – We have a huge 14 game schedule in the NBA tonight, just in time for the FanDuel DFBBC. The 76ers and the Lakers are both on the slate, so there should be plenty of
Mavericks stackingfantasy goodness to go around. Another 15 game schedule in baseball today, with a split schedule between early start games and late games. Be sure to check your contest before entering, because each site handles these schedule types differently. And of course we can’t forget the 7 NHL games tonight, making it the perfect night to play all three sports if that suits your fancy.
- Today’s GPP’s – So there’s this little $1.2 million tourney on FanDuel tonight called the Daily Fantasy Basketball Championship. It’s only the biggest single day fantasy basketball tournament ever, so you know, it’s kind of a big deal. DraftStreet is running it’s $100k MLB Big Score today as well, which awards $20,000 to first, and locks at the early start games! Over on DraftKings there is MLB High Heat and the Payoff Pitch, both running at $20k with buy ins of $109 and $27, respectively. They’re also running a $15k Showtime for the NBA.
