Thursday’s Big Winners
Although there was just a tiny four-game slate for NBA yesterday, there were still big bucks to be had. Both Fanduel and DraftKings had HUGE GPPs for both NFL & NBA last night, which made for an exciting night for sure.
Check out who took it home on Thursday!
romskii finished on top of the herd in FanDuel’s $300K Thu NBA Shot last night.
The first thing that pops out at me looking at his lineup is Thabo Sefolosha; the dude went ham finishing, with 13 points, 7 rebounds and 5 steals, totaling 37.9 FD points.
Blake Griffin helped as well, ending with 52.6 FD points off of 27 points and 13 rebounds; an awesome double-double to start off the season for him and the Clippers.
After those two took off, Kawhi Leonard ate it up with a fifty burger of his own on 30 real life points, 5 steals, and 5 dimes.
