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
- Last Night’s NBA Action – Lebron made the Cavs look silly, as well he should, dropping 43 points on them, as the Cavs eeked out a 4 point victory… The real story fantasy wise last night was three different games going to OT. IT2 used those extra minutes to post a trip-dub with 24 pts, 11 rebounds and 10 assistesses…
- Last Night’s NHL Action – MOAR GOALS! Minnesota scored six, Pittsburgh five, Montreal six, Edmonton with five and the Rangers exploded with eight. Thomas Vanek led the Habs with a hat trick last night. If you had the Rangers you probably won, unless you took Brian Boyle or Dan Carcillo, who somehow managed a -2 on a team that scored eight goals.
Today’s Events
- Tonight’s Action – B1G Ten game schedule for the NBA tonight. Lots of fantasy goodness tonight, and once again it’s all out west (seriously, does the east even exist other than Miami and Indiana? The #3 team in the East wouldn’t make the playoffs in the West right now. Go East!) The Twolves visit the Mavs in a pivotal playoff battle. The Gary Oldman Fantasy Goodness Game of the Night™ is every game except Utah-Memphis and Indiana-New York.
- Today’s GPP’s – Tonight FD is running out a $110k Wednesday Super Slam with $12,000 to first place. DraftStreet is running their weekly Wednesday $50k with a $22 buy-in. StarStreet is running one of the few PBC qualifiers left. There are also still streak satellites running. DraftKings is running a $15k, $109 buy-in this evening. Also make sure you get in all your golf contests this evening, as lock is bright and early at 7 am tomorrow.
