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.

Air Max Plus UK For Sale . -- Playing time has been limited for Maxim Tissot this season, so the Montreal Impact defender made the most of his first scoring opportunity on Saturday. MANHATTAN, Kan. -- UConn coach Geno Auriemma thinks more and more opposing coaches are getting it: The reward of facing the Huskies really is far greater than the risk. If they beat you, no big surprise, right? Theyve now won 84 games in a row, and are seven short of breaking their own record.If you beat them, of course, youre the talk of the sport. But it doesnt take defeating the Huskies to gain something from the matchup. So, if you have the chance to schedule UConn, why not?Thats the way Kansas State looked at it, and Sundays 75-58 UConn victory drew 12,528 fans, which is just the Wildcats third sellout in the past decade. The game was nationally televised. And K-States players got the chance to face the best of the best, and see how they stack up. That will come in handy for Big 12 play.I definitely had jitters; I never had the opportunity to play in front of so many people, Kansas State junior guard Karyla Middlebook said. But I dont use that as an excuse for the two early turnovers that I had. We have to be able to turn those jitters into positive energy for the team.In contrast, the environment at Bramlage Coliseum was just another advantage for No. 1 UConn, as if the Huskies didnt have enough of those. They are unaffected by big crowds cheering for or against them. Its simply what theyre used to.This is a young UConn team, depending so much on super sophomores Katie Lou Samuelson and Napheesa Collier, but you get old quickly when you play for the Huskies. Well, lets rephrase that; you get mature quickly, or you dont play.Collier, who is from OFallon, Missouri -- about a five-hour drive from Kansas State -- had several friends and family members present for another of her stat-stuffing games. Despite dealing with some neck spasms, she had 22 points, eight rebounds, four assists, six steals and five blocked shots. Oh, and she shot 10 of 15 from the field. (Good grief, imagine the game she could have had without neck spasms).Samuelson led the way scoring-wise with 26 points. Auriemma said theres just a feeling the Huskies currently have whenever Samuelson or Collier gets the ball: Something good is about to happen.True, there isnt much depth right now for UConn, and that was even more the case Sunday with senior Saniya Chong out with concussion-like symptoms after getting hurt in Wednesdays victory at Notre Dame. She didnt make the trip to Kansas State, and the only bench player who got significant minutes was center Natalie Butler with 16.Yet the UConn starting five more than got the job done: Kia Nurse had 13 points and five assists, and Gabby Williams led the way on the boards with 10, adding six points. The Huskies lled 25-8 after one quarter, during which they had a 17-0 run.ddddddddddddThe Wildcats stayed relatively close to the Huskies for the rest of the game, but they never could completely climb out of the hole they fell into at the start.There were a lot of positives out of today, Kansas State coach Jeff Mittie said. The last three quarters, the way we competed, was much, much better.Mittie is in his third season at Kansas State after 15 years at TCU in which the Horned Frogs went to the NCAA tournament nine times. He took the Wildcats to the NCAA second round last year.Kansas State has had its peaks as a program -- none higher than during the period when All-Americans Nicole Ohlde and Kendra Wecker played together from 2001-04, when the Wildcats had seven sellouts, plus 10 other home crowds of 10,000 or more. But this was the first sellout in Mitties tenure, and its why he came to K-State: because its a place he believes he can win and have a team that the community cares about.Breanna Lewis led the way for the Wildcats with 18 points, seven rebounds, four blocked shots and four steals. This game was good for her individually, in terms of boosting her stock for the WNBA draft. The 6-foot-5 senior center impressed Auriemma with how much she had improved from a year ago, when the Wildcats played UConn at Hartford and lost by 40 points.Kansas State opens its Big 12 season at No. 3 Baylor on Dec. 29, followed by No. 13 West Virginia at home, and then No. 19 Oklahoma on the road. Facing UConn helps prepare the Wildcats for a weeklong stretch like that.Meanwhile, this all might seem like a very familiar script for UConn: Even when the Huskies face challenges such as not having a lot of players to sub in, you can hardly tell anything is difficult for them. Yet Auriemma said thats not accurate. The Huskies have won their four games in December by an average of 22.8 points -- three were against Top 25 teams; and while the Wildcats werent ranked, they were previously unbeaten -- but Auriemma insists that its harder than it looks.This isnt like last year or the year before, where we were convinced that there was no way we could lose, he said. We knew that, and so did the teams we played against. All we had to do is go out and play our game.I dont think any of us thought going in that any of this was going to be automatic or easy. And it hasnt been easy, given our limited roster and how little experience we have in these moments. With individuals and us as a team, I couldnt be happier to be where we are right now. ' ' '
