In Case You Missed It
- DraftStreet Big Score – Last night was a huge night across the industry in terms of GPP tournaments going off. The biggest arguably, was the Big Score on Draftstreet, giving away $50k for first place, with only a $22 buy-in. RussARMYNY took down the massive ROI booster with a huge 327.25 point score. #GrinderNation member MSidla (the wicked pissah of a 3rd grade school marm) came in 9th. Also on DS in the $109 DSBBC Q, KnickGillman took down the seat, with our own STLCardinals84 just barely missing out on the win.
- Other Huge GPP Action – Over on FanDuel, jukestick took down the $25 entry Superslam for $13k, posting a whopping 389.5 points. Over on DraftKings, werth4949 took down the $11 Golden Ticket. In the $109, Grinder Stinger88 got his ticket to the Showcase by the slimmest of .25 points margin. In StarStreet action, friend of the R&G Birdwings (BIRD WANGS!!!!!!!!!) is going back to the Mansion for the PBC. Also on SS, the Streak for the Mansion is down to the final five, who will square off for an entry into the PBC.
- Steve Blake Triple Double – With a ruptured eardrum. The Lakers almost ran out of players last night. This may go down as the first triple-double due to team attrition.
Today’s Events
- Final Day of the DSHC – To quote Cotton McKnight: “It’s time to separate the wheat from the chaff, the men from the boys, the awkwardly feminine from the possibly Canadian.”
Tonight is the finals of the first ever Draftstreet Hockey Championship. #GrinderNation is well represented with #1 ranked NHL player lowkey leading the field. Also in the final ten is GrindersLive NHL host, BillsFan777, along with Yannick and JRake09. Good luck to everyone in the finals.
- Podcast Interview with DraftCheat – Today on the Daily Fantasy Fix with DB730, he welcomes new full-time grinder DraftCheat onto the show. DC is #28 in the Grinder Rankings, #8 currently in the TPOY, and #14 in NBA. This should be a great interview as DC has just jumped into DFS full-time.
- MOAR RotoGrinders T-shirts – With the NBA action on the slow side on Thursdays, RotoGrinders has decided to spice up Thursdays a bit with a t-shirt giveaway. Just head over to the forums and throw in a guess as to the total fantasy points of the four players listed. Closest gets the shirt. This may be the only fantasy contest you’re allowed to win in Utah. Put in your guess here
