  17. John Wall is now being charged for every three turnovers he has in a game. He will pay Wizards assistant $100 per three turnovers. Last season, his average turnovers per game was 3.8. That sort of damage would have put Wall out $6,200 for the 62 of 79 games he had three or more turnovers last season.

  20. John Wall commits an average of 3.8 turnovers per game and if he keeps this up for the up coming season he'll have to pay for it literally. For every 3 plus turnovers he has in the game its 100$. If you were to add all of his turnovers up from last season, it would be a total of 6,200$ for the 62 out of 79 games.

  27. The U.S. Department of Justice and FBI are in the preliminary stage of an investigation into daily fantasy sports operators.The Department of Justice reportedly is looking into whether or not daily fantasy sports is a form of gambling. Last week, a DraftKings employee accidentally published data revealing which players were included on the most rosters for an NFL DFS contest. That same weekend, the employee finished second in a contest on FanDuel, winning $350,000. DraftKings denied the employee had access to the data before submitting his lineup. Since then, along with FanDuel, they have banned employees from participating in public fantasy contests for money. Four 'class-action' lawsuits have been filed this week, with three filed against both DraftKings and FanDuel, while one involves just DraftKings.
