The final weekend of November is packed with NHL action. There are five games Saturday night starting at 7 p.m. ET or later. Here are some players to target, and some to avoid, for your DFS lineups. GOALIE Semyon Varlamov, NYI vs. PHI ($33): Varlamov is one of the better backups in the NHL. This year he has a 2.97 GAA but a .914 save percentage.

We had 28 of the 30 teams in action on Friday, leaving us with a small Saturday slate. We have just four games in total, with three of them making up the main card. What could make it frustrating is the fact that every team on this slate played Friday night. That means we’re going to get some resting, with the Spurs, Lakers, Jazz, Suns, Thunder and Rockets all playing the second half of a B2B. Just be sure to keep an eye on injury reports closer to the opening tip. Guards Shai… Source link

The U.S. men’s national team has one of the great chants in sports (poached from the United States Naval Academy and the Naval Academy Prep before it). It begins with a single fan screaming “I” and then “I believe” and so on until the entire six-word phrase is repeatedly shouted to a bobbing, dancing, increasingly frantic group of supporters. “I believe that we will win.” It’s great, except for the fact the USMNT almost never actually wins, at least not when it matters.

Qatar became the first World Cup host country to get eliminated after its first two games following a 3-1 loss to Senegal on Friday. It’s mathematically impossible for the 2022 World Cup hosts to be one of the top two teams in Group A and make it to the next round even though there’s still one more group stage to go. The Netherlands and Ecuador each won their first games of the tournament — Ecuador beat Qatar 2-0 — and tied 1-1 on Friday. They each have four points and Senegal has… Source link

Disney’s (DIS) Bob Iger will be inheriting quite a mess as he reassumes the CEO position at a company he led for 15 years. “Disney’s problems are more structural than they are related to who’s running the company,” Doug Cruetz, media analyst at Cowen, told Yahoo Finance Live.

Early Friday morning, Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao said the company committed another $1 billion to its “relief fund” aimed at helping troubled businesses in the crypto industry. Binance’s efforts have been accelerated in the wake of FTX’s collapse earlier this month, which resulted in the company, once valued at $32 billion, filing for bankruptcy protection and leaving the crypto industry frozen in its wake. Earlier this month, Binance walked away from a purported deal to buy FTX. Binance’s… Source link
