This article is part of our Yahoo DFS Baseball series. The World Series could end Saturday. If the Astros win at home, they take another ring. But of course, the Phillies could force a Game 7. For DFS purposes, you have $75 in salary to divvy out to five players. Your Megastar earns you double the points, and your Superstar nets you 1.5 times the points. For perhaps the final time in the 2022 MLB season, here is my lineup. MEGASTAR Alex Bregman, HOU vs. PHI ($17): I like the Astros’… Source link

That Friday card was one of the craziest slates I’ve ever seen. The player pool was full of injuries, and tracking who was taking the floor for each team wasn’t easy. This is simply a new era of the NBA, and no team wants to overwork their players. That’s particularly concerning here because we have eight teams playing the second half of a back-to-back set. Those teams include Brooklyn, Boston, Charlotte, Milwaukee, Minnesota, New York, Portland and San Antonio. We’ll surely get more chaos… Source link

Zach LaVine searching for drive game as he manages knee originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago BOSTON — Zach LaVine’s game has evolved over time. He’s grown from athletic dunker to elite jump shooter. But his eye-popping athleticism has proved constant. That’s why his first three quarters in the Chicago Bulls’ 123-119 loss to the Boston Celtics Friday night stood out so much. LaVine took eight first-half shots against an elite, switching Celtics defense. None were inside 10 feet…. Source link

Nike denounced antisemitism in its statement: At Nike, we believe there is no place for hate speech and we… Source link

Mitchell Miller signed an entry-level deal with the Boston Bruins on Friday. (via USHL) The Boston Bruins have signed Mitchell Miller. With that signing, according to hockey scholars, it has again been made abundantly clear that hockey has learned nothing, and that the insidious and toxic culture of the game persists. Originally selected by the Arizona Coyotes in the 2020 NHL Draft, Miller has a history. In school, Miller used racist slurs, including the N-word, toward a Black classmate and… Source link

Higher prices aren’t stopping Starbucks’ fans. Despite record inflation, the coffee giant saw U.S. sales jump by 11% in the fourth quarter, driven primarily by a 10% increase in average ticket size and a 1% increase in comparable transactions. CFO Rachel Ruggeri told Yahoo Finance the company is “encouraged” by customer loyalty and ongoing demand, noting that price hikes made this year were “really in response to inflationary pressures.” The company raised prices by about 5% over a 12-month… Source link
