Welcome to the RotoGrinders cup o’morning joe. Start your day off on the right foot with yesterday’s happenings and take a peek at the the upcoming day in the world of DFS.
So kick back, grab your first cup of coffee, and catch up on the latest news!
In Case You Missed It
- Spurs Take the Lead – The NBA Finals moved to Miami last night, and San Antonio knew that they need to win at least one game if they had a chance to win the series. Kawhi Leonard had something to say about that, leading the Spurs to a 111-92 victory in Game 2 with 29 points in 39 minutes. Game 4 will be played tomorrow in Miami before the series moves back to San Antonio.
- DraftCheat Domination – Maybe there is something to the username, because at this point I have to think that DraftCheat has cheat codes or something! After an absolutely legendary performance the other night, where he won seemingly everything across the industry, DraftCheat took home a seat for the DFBC last night, for yet another shot at a million dollar score. Incredible man, keep it up! On FanDuel, kingofqueens took down the $535 Q, while on DraftKings Just2Buff brought home the seat in the $1,000 Fantasy Championship qualifier.
Today’s Events
- Tonight’s Action – The puck drops on Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals tonight at 8 PM, and the Rangers are mostly fighting for pride at this point. No one wants to see a sweep in the championship game (except for maybe Kings fans) so we can only hope that the Rangers show up tonight and put up a good fight. We also have another full schedule in baseball tonight, with 2 of the 15 games taking place in the early afternoon, leaving us a beautiful 13 game schedule to play around with. Happy Hump Day everyone, get your grind on! God, that sounds so wrong.
