What To Watch For
NBA Tuesday! – The NBA continues today with another medium sized slate, only five games, but there are plenty of tournaments to keep you satisfied. FD has their first qualifier to their NBA championship at $25, and they also have a $225K Slam for $25 and a $100K Monster for $200. For the small bankroll grinder, don’t worry: there is a $125K Shot for $2 in the lobby as well. Over on DraftKings, there are several major tournaments as well, including a $115K Crossover for $20, a $100K 3-ball for $300 and a $60K layup for $2.
Big Night on the Ice – There are some big games in the NHL tonight, with 11 games on the slate, FD has a $30K Breakaway for $2 and a $15K goal for $25. DraftKings has a $20K Tuesday Special for $20 and a $10K Sniper for $2. So, make sure to fill them up puck heads, and maybe if you’ve never tried NHL before, today is the perfect day for it.
College Basketball – March is coming in one month, which means college basketball starts heating up this time of year. What better way to prep yourself mentally than by getting some College Hoops action? FD and DK will both have some of the biggest CBB tournaments today, so be sure to check them out in the lobby. There are 13 games on the slate, so be sure to check into RG for all your research needs.
