In Case You Missed It
- The Oscars – LOL/jk. #next
- Weekend GPP Action – The $300,000 DraftKings Showcase wrapped up Friday night. Rolltidechamps (#424 Overall, #472 TPOY) took down the title in a completely loaded field. His gutsy play of Markieff Morris was just the edge he needed to take down the top spot. Also Friday night, benapp took down DSBBC Q #28 on DraftStreet, narrowly edging out GrindersLive host Dean78904 for the seat. This Wednesday and Friday are your last two chances to qualify for the DSBBC.
- FCK/CTV Challenges – Not to be confused with the KFC Challenge, a.k.a who can down a family sized bucket the fastest at the RG’s office (Don’t count Riley out of that one), the FCK Challenge is returning for round two. Originated by the FishCakeKing, the first challenge pitted many of the industry’s top NBA players in a multi-night tournament, awarding points throughout the tournament for the positional finish each night, and at the end, the overall top points earner won the winner’s side pot. FCK has fired up another challenge for the next few weeks. Along the same lines, CruzinToVictory has set-up a smaller scale challenge that will be competed on StarStreet. StarStreet is being super baller and throwing in a trip to the Playboy Mansion for the winner of the smaller challenge.
Today’s Events
- NBA Action Tonight – There’s an eight game schedule on-tap for the NBA tonight. Tonight’s Gary Oldman Fantasy Goodness Game of the Night™ has got to be the Twolves visiting the Mile High city to take on the Nuggets. Speaking of Gary, I watched all of the Oscars last night, and did they mention Gary one time? Of course they didn’t. The Academy is trash!
- Today’s GPP’s – The StarStreet Streak for the Mansion is wrapping up last week’s tiebreaker this evening. DraftStreet is running two $10,000 GPPs tonight, one with an $11 buy-in and the other featuring a $55 buy-in. Tonight on FanDuel the Monday Slam is going off at $80,000 for the $25 buy-in and $9k to first place. Tonight on DraftKings the Showtime is rolling out at $25,000 and a $109 buy-in.
