LPL DFS Picks for 3/1: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy

Last night sucked; I sucked. There is no hiding from that fact. I casually alluded to IG doing the most IG things and finding a way to lose to SNG but didn't do anything about it. SNG, to their credit, turned up the pace from their previous passive play, which bodes well for them trying […]

Patrik Laine, Columbus Set To Find Offense

Columbus Blue Jackets winger Patrik Laine has scored in just one of his last seven outings, but he should be able to get back on track next week.

Sean Monahan Has Chance To Find Form During Favorable Week

Calgary Flames center Sean Monahan was dumped by a lot of fantasy managers in February following a bad run of form, but he gets a nice four-game week to start off March on the right foot.

Slumping Anthony Mantha, Red Wings Start Two-Game Week

Detroit Red Wings winger Anthony Mantha entered Sunday's contest against Chicago on a seven-game point drought and he won't have a chance to be productive next week either, as the team has only two games scheduled; on Tuesday versus Columbus and on Thursday versus Carolina.

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado played third base and hit cleanup in the first Cardinals Grapefruit League game of 2021.
