In Case You Missed It
- Last Night’s GPP Action – It was the biggest night of the year in terms of NHL GPP action last night. Over on DraftKings, the $100,000 Breakaway went down. I_Slewfoot_U took down the $12,000 first place prize, riding Jamie Benn, Alex Ovechkin and Brooks Laich to the victory. #GrindersNation members KCannon and Crackmonkey83 took third and fourth place respectively. FanDuel ran their $40,000 Hat Trick last night with doubledown99 taking the $8,000 first prize. Pepsi7 is alive! He finished 11th.
- Lebron’s Mask – Lebron James returned from his broken nose last night, looking more like one of our favorite professional wrestlers than a basketball player. Either way, apparently the mask holds magical powers, as he dropped 31 points on the hapless Knicks. Stylish or no?
- The Basketball Diaries – Headchopper doesn’t leave, he just stays under the radar. We haven’t seen much writing from HeadChopper since football season ended. Turns out he was working on some bad-ass photoshop to go along with his new article “The Basketball Diaries”. Take a look as one of the best minds in the business breaks down his double-up team from the other night on FanDuel. The Basketball Diaries feat. HeadChopper
Today’s Events
