Ks into Sunday, chasing an NL Cy Young Award to add to the 2013 AL

There are just five NBA games on tap for Thursday evening, which certainly cuts down a bit on the variety of potential starting DFS lineups. Which players should you build around, and which players should you fade? Our experts have the answers.Todays panel includes ESPN Fantasys Kyle Soppe and Renee Miller, plus DFS expert Al Zeidenfeld.Players to build aroundKyle Soppe --?Wilson Chandler, Denver NuggetsThere is no shortage of star players in action tonight and Im not going to try to sway you on which one (or two) to roster. Instead, Im handing out a strong value play that allows you to plug in whatever high-end option youd like. The Nuggets may not be a good team, but they own the second-highest implied total on the board tonight and Chandler figures to lead their attack, thanks to his 12th-highest usage rate among SF this season.Chandler is averaging career-highs in field goal attempts and rebounds this season, raising the floor from years past. The Blazers rarely bring it on the defensive end, and given that they are in the middle of a nine-game, 15-day stretch that sees them play eight times on the road, I cant imagine tonight being the night that they decide to buy in on the defensive end.Renee Miller -- Nikola Jokic, Denver NuggetsMore often than not, youll find me putting the PF facing Portland in this space. No team gives up more fantasy points to opposing bigs than the Trail Blazers. Further, while Portland ranks 25th in rebounding rate, the Nuggets are No. 1, and the efficient play of Jokic is a big reason. Id love to see Jokic play more than 24-28 minutes per night, but even those limited minutes have allowed him to rack up five double-doubles in the past six games hes played. As good as hes been, tonight could be a truly masterful showing from Jokic, who is an especially good value on FanDuel.Al Zeidenfeld -- Damian Lillard, Portland Trail BlazersIts a small slate, but there are a lot of quality options to choose from tonight. The player I cant keep out of my lineup is Lillard because of the matchup and pace against the Nuggets. This game should be the most competitive and high-scoring affair of the night, and in those situations you want as much exposure to the primary ball handlers as possible in order to maximize as much of the fourth quarter usage as you can. I wouldnt be surprised to see people roster four players from this game on their primary lineups. To me, tonight starts with Lillard, and then you can build outward.Players to fadeKyle Soppe -- Draymond Green, Golden State Warriors Fresh off of his first triple-double of the season, Green is priced in the same tier as Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.?No thanks, Ill pass. Greens usage rate ranks 37th this season -- among power forwards. His well-rounded skill set is nice, but with a low shot total and a low free throw count, you essentially need elite production from Green in all other categories for him to reach value. Could that happen? Sure, but thats a significant risk to take given both his price and a likely matchup with Kristaps Porzingis. Greens ceiling isnt high enough for me in this spot, and the blowout potential of this game is another concern that is very real tonight.Renee Miller -- Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee BucksThere are a lot of game-time decisions and questionable designations on tonights slate. I think Antetokounmpo plays tonight, but Im personally more inclined to spend up on Anthony Davis, Kevin Durant, or Damian Lillard tonight. Those guys are playing in faster paced games with higher projected point totals, and with equal or better defensive matchups. Plus, there arent any injury concerns with that trio. When Im paying one of the top salaries, as Antetokounmpo commands, I dont want any question marks.Al Zeidenfeld -- Paul George, Indiana PacersGeorge just doesnt do enough on a consistent basis to justify the price he carries on DraftKings, yet hes surrounded by players just a few hundred dollars above and below his price that do. Carmelo Anthony, Jimmy Butler and Kawhi Leonard are all higher than George in my projections for tonight, each of them sitting within $1,000 in salary (in both directions). George is capable of a big game, but the probability of him having one is less likely and less predictable than those around him. Ill wait for a price drop before investing again.Al Zeidenfeld is a promoter and user at DraftKings (Username: Al_Smizzle) and plays on his personal account in games he offers advice on.

WASHINGTON -- Now that its clear his Miami Marlins last game of the season will be completely meaningless in the standings -- for his team, for the opponent, and for everyone else -- manager Don Mattingly is handing over control to Martin Prado.For the 2016 finale on Sunday, Prado will have double duty, playing third base and running the Marlins as their skipper-for-a-day against the Washington Nationals.If its a game thats not doing anything, we let a player manage. Basically, somebody will be a pitching coach, somebody will be a hitting coach. Its more of a fun thing than anything else. Well have to talk to the other team, let the umpires know, things like that, Mattingly explained. But its nothing that youre going to do anything to disrespect the game or anything else. Its just a matter of letting the guys have some fun.While the Marlins already had been eliminated before Saturdays 2-1 loss to Washington, the Nationals didnt clinch home-field advantage for their NL Division Series until the next-to-last day of the regular season. But with that accomplished, Sundays outcome does not matter to either team.Mattingly wasnt sure which players would assist Prado but said, Hes got to have his crew.On Saturday, Bryce Harper delivered an RBI single, rookie Trea Turner hit his 13th homer and stole his 32nd base, and Tanner Roark tuned up for the playoffs with 5 2/3 innings of one-run ball.NL East champion Washingtons third trip to the postseason in five years will begin Friday in the nations capital against the NL West champion Los Angeles Dodgers, with Max Scherzer slated to face Clayton Kershaw. Game 2 is the following day, before the best-of-five NLDS shifts to L.A.The Nationals, it turned out, didnt need to beat the Marlins. The Dodgers 3-0 loss to the San Francisco Giants, assuring Washington of finishing with a better record than Los Angeles, was announced before the bottom of the seventh to the Nationals Park crowd of 31,635, which responded with a standing ovation.While home field might not seem like a big deal in a short series, Nationals manager Dusty Baker figured it was important in this instance.Thats because the Dodgers went 53-28 at home, a .6654 winning percentage, but are only 38-42 on the road, .dddddddddddd.475.Theyre under .500 on the road and way over .500 at home. So which one would you suggest? Baker said. Im not a numbers man, exactly, but I think it would be to our best interest -- give us the best chance -- to have them come here, versus us going there.Roark (16-10), lined up to pitch Game 2 against the Dodgers, allowed Miami only three hits, including Chris Johnsons RBI single to right in the sixth. Mark Melancon got the last four outs for his 46th save.Turner singled and came around to score on Harpers line drive up the middle in the first inning, then delivered a solo shot off Wei-Yin Chen (5-5) in the fifth.CHENS SEASONChen gave up two runs and six hits in five innings and finished 2016 with a 4.96 ERA in 123 1/3 innings across 22 starts. He went on the DL with a strained left elbow on July 25, returning Sept. 19 and made three starts the rest of the way. Its obviously helped establish that hes healthy. Been able to bounce back, Mattingly said.SITTING STANTONMarlins RF Giancarlo Stanton was out of the starting lineup Saturday, and will be on Sunday, too, Mattingly said, to make sure the slugger does not enter the offseason hurt. Stanton was sidelined with a groin injury into September. He may get an at-bat, a pinch-hit, or something like that. He still wasnt playing at 100 percent, Mattingly explained, and once the games were meaningless, its harder to take a chance on him having to rehab during the winter.UP NEXTMarlins: RHP Tom Koehler (9-13, 4.15 ERA) starts.Nationals: RHP Scherzer takes a 19-7 record, 2.82 ERA and career-high 277 Ks into Sunday, chasing an NL Cy Young Award to add to the 2013 AL honor he won for Detroit while going 21-3. Thats been the pinnacle for pitchers ever since I was in the game -- and long before me. It would be forever: `Hes a 20-game winner, Baker said. Expounding on how he views pitchers stats, Baker said: People put a lot of emphasis on ERA, which is good, but I put emphasis on wins for a guy that knows how to win.
