NASCAR! On Friday, the Truck Series ran at Michigan, with 47.7 percent of their laps coming under caution.

The bubble keeps on rolling! The Celtics took the Raptors down by 22 last night, the Grizzlies had a sizable win over the Thunder, and the Nets won!

WNBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks (8/7/20): WNBA DFS Advice for DraftKings and FanDuel
So, about that Chennedy Carter game on Thursday. I avoided playing any Dream players in DFS because of the matchup with Seattle, which gave me a ton of pause, especially for Carter, who was being guarded by Jordin Canada. Didn't matter. Carter's now the youngest player in league history with a 30-point game. In this... Read More

WNBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks (8/4/20): WNBA DFS Advice for DraftKings and FanDuel

Y'all, I don't want to write this article today.

WNBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks (7/28/20): WNBA DFS Advice for DraftKings and FanDuel
The first weekend of WNBA action is over, with the weekend capped off by an offensive explosion from the Atlanta Dream, which was definitely the most unexpected thing we saw.

It's here! The 2020 WNBA season was pushed back because of COVID-19, the season was shortened to 22 games, and it's all taking place in Florida, with players staying at IMG Academy and playing games at the Feld Entertainment Center, but at least it's happening.

Friday features the first of back-to-back NASCAR Truck Series races at Kansas Speedway, with the Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 200.

Martin Truex Jr. Is A Favorite At Kansas
Joe Gibbs Racing's Martin Truex Jr. has an average finish of 8.3 over the last 10 races at Kansas Speedway, including a sweep of the races here in 2017. Over this span, he's ed 508 laps, though since 2018, he's led just 46, signalling that he might not be quite as strong here as he... Read More

Penske Racing's Joey Logano will pilot his 22 car from the second starting position for Thursday night's Super Start Batteries 400 at Kansas Speedway.
