In Case You Missed It
- Lebron Scores 33, Gets Busted Wide Open – Lebron and the Heat worked over the Thunder last night in a 103-81 victory, but the even bigger news was LBJ’s trip to Ibaka’s Rhynoplasty. Lebron appears to be ok moving forward as he passed concussion protocol. Dwayne Wade chipped in with 24 points, 7 rebounds and 10 assistesses earning double-double DKs bonus points for those of you scoring at home. James Harden did his best to light up the Warriors, but Steph Curry’s 25 and David Lee huge 28 points and 14 rebounds led Golden State to the OT victory over the Rockets. James Harden decided to throw down one last dunk to pad the stats with 0.1 seconds left. I’m sure that cost someone a GPP victory or cash.

Today’s Events
- NBA Tonight – Big Friday of NBA action going down tonight. Big match-ups on the evening are the Clippers visiting the Grizz and the Spurs taking on the Suns. Tonight should be an interesting fantasy night as there are some intriguing match-ups, but there is also the possibility of a lot of blowouts.
- Tonight’s GPPs – Some huge GPPs across the industry tonight. DraftKings is running a $27 Mega Crossover with a $100,000 prize pool and $15,000 for first place. The Showcase is qualifying three more winners this evenings. The $109 is full, but the $270 and $11 tournaments still have space available. FanDuel is running a $25, $120k Slam tonight and giving away 20 more seats to the DFBBC. DraftStreet is running Q #26 to the DSBBC, featuring a $22 entry fee.
