Grab your first cup of coffee and catch up on the latest news!
In Case You Missed It
- KD Back over 30, Bulls Get Throttled – Kevin Durant got back to his high scoring ways going for 31-8-8 against the Grizzlies. Even in low scoring games, he still rolls out the fantasy production. The Bulls are a nightmare right now. A few weeks ago they trade away their best player to hit the floor this year in Luol Deng. Yesterday no-defense-Boozer went off on Tibs. Last night Joakim Noah dropped an F-bomb on the refs and made an early exit while the Bulls got routed by Sacramento. The Bull are that vacuum cleaner on the right. You are the kittens. Run AWAY from them.
- NBA Showcase – Mattness (MSidla) doubled dipped last night, swiping two golden tix to the Showcase. Livingston, Bron-Bron and Griffin carried his teams to victories.
- Two Great RotoGrinders Articles – Often in the forums you will hear people throw out a topic (besides line-up sharing) and there will be a strategy debate over what is the correct play. Someone has to run the numbers on these debates, and often times our man Ethan drops the knowledge hammer on us with an awesome article. Here he discusses stacking value in the NBA, backed up with all his fancy charts and gadgets that you’ve come to expect from him. Oh, and he went HAM on us with the stats behind Predicting Big Games Using NBA Vegas Lines I don’t think this guy ever sleeps.
Today’s Events
- NBA Tonight – Fairly quiet four game schedule on tap tonight. The Lakers going to Minnesota should be a fast-paced, fun game to watch.
- NHL Tonight – Nine games on the NHL ice tonight, including a great match-up with Colorado coming to MSG to play the Rangers. Your Fantasy Goodness Game of the Night™ looks to be the Islanders heading down 95 to play the Capitals. I expect goalies to be non-existent in that one.
