An eight-game slate is on tap in the NBA for Monday, and were here to help you win in daily fantasy contests.Below youll find players that our experts are building their teams around tonight, as well as some players who will be highly owned but should be faded. Our panel today consists of Renee Miller, Joe Kaiser and Kyle Soppe.Building blockRenee Miller: Blake Griffin, PF, Los Angeles ClippersWhile Chris Paul worries me in easy-matchup, blowout situations, Griffin is quite the opposite. He thrives in these fast-paced, high-scoring games, and should take full advantage of Brooklyns number two ranking in fantasy points allowed to opposing PFs. If youre aiming to create a more balanced lineup than Anthony Davis allows tonight, consider Griffin a solid choice to build around.Joe Kaiser: Joel Embiid, C, Philadelphia 76ersEmbiids price is slowly risking in DFS, but not as fast as it should be. Embiid has scored at least 22 points in two of the last three games, pulled down at least six rebounds in all but one game, and blocked four shots in two of the last four contests. Point is, hes doing it all on the court from one game to another, and that is always great as far as accumulating points in DFS is concerned. Tonight he faces a Rockets team that ranks 27th in the league in defensive efficiency, and also ranks in the bottom half of the league when it comes to allowing DFS points to opposing centers. Im all over Embiid on Monday, and you should be as well.Kyle Soppe: Evan Fournier, SG, Orlando MagicThe Magic-Pacers game is going to be a fun one for fantasy purposes, and Im seeking as much exposure as possible. These are two of the three least efficient defenses through the first couple weeks of the season, and with the Pacers operating at an above-average pace of play, I expect Orlando to pick up their tempo from their typically slow style. In Fournier, you get a player that has been on the court for more than 35 minutes in four of seven games this month, giving him a volume bump over most. He has knocked down multiple trifectas in three straight (and in seven of his past eight games) in addition to totaling at least seven rebounds-plus-assists in half of his games this season. Look for him to put 20 points on the board for a career-best third straight game, and do so in a very efficient manner.FadeRenee Miller: Andre Drummond, C, Detroit PistonsRostering big men against the Oklahoma City Thunder just isnt something I do. The Thunder are among the stingiest in terms of fantasy points allowed -- something that goes back to last season -- and even the elite, like Hassan Whiteside, struggle against them (23 fantasy points last week). Drummonds recent stretch of five consecutive double-doubles could very well end badly tonight, and with so many other guys to pay up for, Drummond is the man out for me.Joe Kaiser: Victor Oladipo, SG, Oklahoma City ThunderToo much of Oladipos DFS value is wrapped up on scoring, thanks to big declines in his assists and steals this season, and that makes him a huge risk on a night when the Thunder head to Detroit to face the leagues fifth-ranked defense. On top of that, the Pistons rank 22nd in the league in pace, which will limit the amount of possessions and opportunity for Oladipo. The Indiana product has been a big fantasy disappointment so far this season, and Im looking elsewhere at shooting guard tonight.Kyle Soppe: Hassan Whiteside, C, Miami HeatIt is easy to look at the nearly 18 points and 15 rebounds that Whiteside is producing per game this season and fall in love, but that production has inflated his price far too much to justify paying up tonight. While Whiteside is great -- and I am on board for season-long leagues -- he faces off against the sixth-most efficient defense this season, a team that has been nothing short of elite in limiting interior fantasy production. Whiteside struggled mightily against a strong front court in the Oklahoma City Thunder (five points and 12 rebounds in 31 minutes of action) and I expect a similar lack of return on investment tonight, with foul trouble being a very real concern. Leon Draisaitl Jersey . It was the kind of score that might make everyone else wonder which course he was playing. Except that Graeme McDowell saw the whole thing. Crouched behind the 10th green at Sheshan International, McDowell looked over at the powerful American and said, "Ive probably seen 18 of the best drives Ive seen all year in the last two days. Andrew Ference Jersey . According to a report from the Vancouver Province, the Lions are expected to replace former DC Rich Stubler with defensive backs coach Mark Washington. http://www.hockeyoilersshop.com/paul-coffey-jersey/ . He said Tuesday thats a big reason why he is now the new coach of the Tennessee Titans. Whisenhunt said he hit it off quickly with Ruston Webster when interviewing for the job Friday night. Mark Messier Oilers Jersey . -- Three close looks at the bucket, three misses. Wayne Gretzky Oilers Jersey . And when it opened, every player was at his stall. Thats a sure sign that a team is in a slump and is searching for answers. "Its embarrassing to be at home and play the way we did," said defenceman Josh Gorges. AUBURN, Ala. -- Auburns offense has plenty of issues to work out after an opener marred by quarterback confusion.Luckily for the Tigers, Arkansas State isnt in an altogether different boat heading into Saturday nights game at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Both lost their season openers after producing just one touchdown and playing multiple quarterbacks.The Tigers (0-1) appear to have trimmed down their three-man QB rotation to starter Sean White and backup John Franklin III after a 19-13 loss to No. 2 Clemson. Theyre nearly three-touchdown favorites over Arkansas State (0-1), where Malzahn was head coach in 2012.Auburn needs a strong performance to settle some of the unrest among fans that wasnt eased by the Clemson performance.Weve kind of turned the page on last week, Malzahn said. Were focusing on them and getting ready to play good football.That will likely require another good game by tailback Kerryon Johnson and a repeat performance by a defense that did its part against Deshaun Watson and Clemson.It gives us great confidence to know that we can compete at a high level, because a lot of people say thats one of the most high-powered offenses that were going to see all year, Auburn linebacker Deshaun Davis said.Arkansas States 266 total yards in a 31-10 loss to Toledo was only 4 more than Auburn managed in its own opener.Now, the Red Wolves try to get going against a Southeastern Conference team.Were going to have a lot of matchup issues with these guys, Arkansas State coach Blake Anderson said. Theyre big. Were not going to have anny mismatches in our favor.dddddddddddd Were going to have to play perfect football and if we execute like we did last week moving forward, its going to be tough to do that.---Some things to watch for in the game:QB PECKING ORDERS: Malzahn conceded his plan against No. 2 Clemson just didnt work, leaving Jeremy Johnson as the odd man out. Arkansas State expects to start Chad Voytik but could also play Justice Hansen. Voytick passed for 124 yards and netted 38 rushing yards in the opener.BLOCKING ROLLAND-JONES: Arkansas States JaVon Rolland-Jones is averaging .70 sacks per game in his career, second-best nationally among active players. Auburns offensive line struggled against Clemson and allowed three sacks.PLAYING SUN BELT: Auburn has a record of 23-0 against current teams in the Sun Belt Conference, including three wins over Arkansas State.FRANKLINS ROLE: The Auburn backup is an unproven commodity as a passer, and didnt keep it on a handful of zone read plays either against Clemson. He seems likely to play some sort of role in the offense, at least as a runner.CLEANUP JOBS: Both teams had some mistakes to work out after the first game. Auburn had two promising drives snuffed out by interceptions, among other issues. Arkansas State had such tackling issues that the Red Wolves allowed 176 yards after contact against Toledo, according to Anderson.---AP College Football website www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
