(Updates with court ruling)
NEW YORK, Nov 16 (Reuters) - Daily fantasy sports companies DraftKings and FanDuel on Monday lost an atttempt to head off the New York attorney general's effort to shut down the companies in the state.
A New York state judge denied temporary restraining orders sought by the companies that would have halted New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman's efforts to declare the games illegal gambling in the state.
Schneiderman said the games were against state law last week and told the companies to stop taking money from New Yorkers. The government will move for an injunction against the companies which will be heard in a state trial court on Nov.
