Rise & Grind: February 3rd, 2014
Welcome to the RotoGrinders cup o’morning joe. Start your day off right here with yesterday’s happenings and take a peek at the the upcoming DFS day.
Grab your first cup of coffee and catch up on the latest news!
In Case You Missed It
- Seahawks throttle the Broncos in the Superbowl – This should probably be filed under “If you missed this, you live under a boulder”. Or you live in Boulder and took advantage of new laws to forget about last night’s beat down. Once again the #1 defense beat the #1 offense. In fact, if we remove Seattle’s offense, the defense still won 9-8.
- NBA Showcase – Headchopper and Runitup won Saturday’s golden tickets into the NBA Showcase on DraftKings. If you thought Chop wasn’t going to be in this final, you probably live under the aforementioned boulder. I’m actually shocked that he didn’t learn hockey JUST to Q for the DSHC.
- DFS Withdrawal – I need to take a minute here in the R&G and talk about a serious disease that affects 1 in 15,000,000 Americans every year during the SuperBowl and in July during the MLB All Star break, Withdrawal from DFS. Due to the Superbowl, many of us had no games to sweat yesterday (freerolls don’t count, get serious. And if your golf teams crapped out Friday ((Bo Van Pelt is getting an angry tweet!)), you were left with nothing). To donate to research on this terrible disease, please message me for my paypal address, and I will assure you that every penny is dumped into an NBA GPP that I am -EV in. I can personally guarantee I will feel better after that.
Today’s Events
- NBA Tonight – Nurse your full day hangover by watching some NBA tonight. There’s a big eleven game slate, with the biggest match-up being Memphis visiting Oklahoma City. The Fantasy Goodness Match-up of the Day™ looks to be the Clippers heading to the Nuggets. No word yet on how the new laws in Colorado are affecting Denver’s pace of play.
- Tonight’s Big NBA Tournaments – Two more golden tickets will be awarded tonight in the DraftKings Showcase. The buy-ins are $27 and $270. Tonight on DS there’s a $30k, $215 entry tournament, and sattelites still running to Wednesday’s $150,000 Big Score, with it’s amazing $22 buy-in. Tonight’s $25 Slam on FD is going off at $65k guaranteed and $8,000 for first place.
