There are 10 games on Wednesdays NBA slate. Heres a look at the players our daily fantasy experts are looking to build around and others they are going to avoid.Players to build aroundJoe Kaiser -- DeMar DeRozan, Toronto RaptorsDeRozan comes in over $3,000 cheaper than James Harden on both DraftKings and FanDuel, despite an optimal matchup against a Washington defense that ranks 29th in the league in defensive efficiency (110.1 points allowed per 100 possessions). Only Houston is worse so far this season. DeRozan has scored at least 32 points in all three games this season, and 40 is certainly within range Wednesday.Al Zeidenfeld -- Carmelo Anthony, New York KnicksThe Rockets are running the fantasy gold mine otherwise known as the DAntoni offense (and subsequently his defense as well). This game projects to be close and competitive. Carmelo has been consistent, scoring over 30 DraftKings points in each of his games so far this season and averaging 33.4 per contest. This looks like a realistic spot for him to top 40 fantasy points and at the extremely reasonable price point he sits, he should be a lock for head to head games.Jim McCormick -- Marc Gasol, Memphis GrizzliesThe surprising uptick in 3-point production is fun to consider, but Im just as intrigued by Gasols upside on the glass against a Pelicans team with a rebounding rate of just 44.9 percent so far (29th in the league). With a bankable outcome pattern (more than 30 fantasy points in each start this season) and likely to be fresh after resting Tuesday night against Minnesota, Gasol is a savvy building block given the combination of steady usage and reasonable pricing.Kyle Soppe -- Dwight Howard, Atlanta HawksYeah, yeah, yeah. I know youve been burned by Howard before, but that is why you play DFS ... what happened in the past doesnt matter tonight. Both the Lakers and Hawks rank in the top 10 in terms of pace of play in the early going this season, and with more possessions come more missed shots. The Hawks have the fourth-best rebound differential this season, while the Lakers have been outrebounded by opponents, giving Howard a nice double-double floor. Can you pass on #NarrativeStreet? The stats say no and Im looking for a vintage Superman performance.Players to fadeJoe Kaiser -- Blake Griffin, Los Angeles ClippersGriffin has played very well in the early going, but that has caused his salary to rise and hell have a difficult time reaching his salary value against an Oklahoma City defense thats playing as well as just about anybody through the first three games (albeit against lower-tier opponents). With Griffin needing around 25 points,10 rebounds and 3 assists to be worth his price tag on Wednesday, Im looking elsewhere for a better value.Al Zeidenfeld -- DAngelo Russell, Los Angeles LakersLate last season he may have had ice in his veins, but at the start of this season, DAR has just been cold. Shooting only 33.3 percent on the season and his minutes fluctuating from game to game, Russell is not someone I want to have exposure to this evening. Hell turn it around at some point and will be a great buy-low candidate in Daily Fantasy, but today is not that day.Jim McCormick -- Julius Randle, Los Angeles LakersRandles minutes (27.1 per game) arent so impressive given his relatively demanding price point, as we essentially require a double-double from him in order to meet cost. Its an early sample, but the Hawks are allowing the 11th-fewest fantasy points to opposing 4s with Paul Millsaps stout defensive presence. Id much rather pay down for guys like Tobias Harris and even Taj Gibson at power forward, as both offer similar production potential at a discount from Randle.Kyle Soppe -- Jeremy Lin, Brooklyn NetsBy averaging 16.3 points, 6.5 assists and 4.3 rebounds per game thus far, Lin has been a useful fantasy asset and a nice DFS value through four games, but that ends against the Pistons. Detroit ranks as an above-average defense in limiting fantasy production to point guards, thanks in large part to them ranking as the seventh-slowest-paced offense and the fourth-most-efficient defense this season. There will be plenty of nights when being the only man in town will inflate Lins stock, but he is priced as a top 15 PG in most places and simply isnt worth it.Al Zeidenfeld is a promoter and user at DraftKings (Username: Al_Smizzle) and plays on his personal account in games he offers advice on.

Boucher previously coached the Tampa Bay Lightning and had a 97-78-20 record over two-plus seasons. He was dismissed by the team last March after the Lightning struggled in the lockout-shortened season with a 13-18-1 record. DeMar DeRozan Jersey . Now, with Game 6 set for Fenway Park and an 8:07 p.m. ET first pitch, the Detroit Tigers face the unenviable task of having to beat the Boston Red Sox twice, on the road, to advance to the World Series. https://www.cheapraptors.com/703a-stanley-johnson-jersey-raptors.html .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable. Tracy McGrady Jersey . "No difference at all," chirped U.S. roommate and linemate James van Riemsdyk. "Its still the same cranky Phil. Mark Jackson Jersey . The quest begins with what is supposed to be an easy one, although Germany has traditionally been a stubborn opponent to Canadian teams at international tournaments.There was a time, as ridiculous as it seems now, when the Dallas Cowboys made a show of trying to tamp down expectations for Ezekiel Elliott.On a sun-splashed practice field in Oxnard, California, in early August, offensive coordinator Scott Linehan stood and talked about his rookie running back. At this time, Elliott had a hamstring injury that was keeping him out of practice a bit. Linehan said all the right things.Weve got to do the right thing by him. Hes a rookie, and so you have to make sure he gets the time he needs to develop, Linehan said, then he smiled. But then I watch what he can do out here, and I think its going to be pretty hard to take him off the field.The Cowboys arent going to take Elliott off the field. Their greatest current fear, as a matter of fact, is that commissioner Roger Goodell might take him off the field. But unless the NFL decides to suspend Elliott as a result of its investigation into domestic violence allegations against him, there appears to be nothing that can stop the former Ohio State star at the present time.With 1,005 rushing yards through nine games, with three touchdowns (including the game winner) in Sundays comeback-over-and-over victory in Pittsburgh, Elliott is dominating the league. Running behind the NFLs most dominant offensive line and taking handoffs from the only man besides him who has half a case for Offensive Rookie of the Year, Elliott is currently the most potent offensive force in the game.At this point, even with Tony Romo healthy enough to play, Dak Prescott deserves to be the Cowboys quarterback. But Ezekiel Elliott deserves to be the leagues MVP.Theres a lot going on in Dallas that has put the Cowboys star rookies in position to succeed. Merely decent offensive line play gives you a weekly advantage in the NFL of 2016, but the Cowboys are, in this area, dominant. Entering Sundays games, Elliott had 495 rushing yards before first contact this season -- third most in the leaguee.dddddddddddd He added 82 more (out of his 114 total) on Sunday night. After ambling through a hole the size of an airplane hangar door on the game-winning touchdown, Elliott said, It parted like the Red Sea. All I had to do was run.But neither Elliott nor anyone else should sell him short as a runner. He also carried with him into Sundays action a league-leading 396 yards after first contact. He?has the ability to shed tackles and maintain his momentum. He has the ability to separate from pursuers in the open field. Hes strong enough as a pass protector that the Cowboys dont have to take him off the field on third downs.?They also view him as a strong receiver, though they havent used his receiving skills much. His 83-yard catch-and-run touchdown Sunday showcased another breathtaking element of Elliotts game that may be yet to come.Elliott is, through nine games, everything the Cowboys expected him to be when they used the No. 4 pick in the draft on him. They knew they had the killer offensive line; they saw Elliott as a player who could help them maximize it. Together, he and the slobs (as he calls them) up front are executing the Cowboys offseason vision in a way even their most optimistic decision-makers could not have envisioned. They thought hed help make Romos life easier. Its a major bonus that hes doing that instead for fellow rookie Prescott.Eight of the past nine NFL MVP awards have gone to quarterbacks, and before its all said and done guys like Tom Brady, Matt Ryan, Derek Carr and even Prescott may have their say in who wins it this year. But at this point in the season, it looks like one of those years when a running back stands out from the crowd as just too dominant to deny.The Cowboys cant take Elliott off the field because hes too valuable. And thats what the V in MVP stands for, after all. ' ' '
