We have a full slate of NBA games on Friday night (10), so that leaves plenty of options for DFS players. Colorado Avalanche Jersey . Who are must-starts in your lineup, and who should be avoided? Our experts -- Renee Miller, Joe Kaiser, Kyle Soppe and Al Zeidenfeld?-- give their picks.Renee Miller -- Kemba Walker, Charlotte HornetsThere is no shortage of quality point guards tonight, starting, of course, with Russell Westbrook. I think its boring to write up the best player in the league every time he plays, so Im highlighting Walker here. At a significant discount from Westbrook, Walker is quietly the player with the third-highest player-efficiency rating (29.08) and seventh-highest usage rate (29.3). Hes historically a higher upside play at home, and tonight he faces a Hawks backcourt that is giving up the third-most fantasy points to opposing point guards. Whether its as a second PG or G/UTIL, or simply a differentiation from the always-popular Westbrook, Walker could easily be one of the best point-per-dollar plays tonight.Joe Kaiser -- Stephen Curry, Golden State WarriorsBoston vs. Golden State is projected to be the highest-scoring game of the night (225 points), and Curry continues to be appealing this season. While his salary is down, his numbers arent too far off his previous MVP years. Hes still Steph, and hes still capable of catching fire and putting up 40 points any night out. He has played very well against the Celtics his last four games, with a low score of 37 on FanDuel and 45.8 on DraftKings, and I expect him to be in the 45-60 range tonight against Bostons 17th-ranked defense.Kyle Soppe -- Chris Paul, Los Angeles ClippersI find that the point guard position is often what makes the difference in DFS matchups. Sure, you can chase the monster point value, and guys like Russell Westbrook and Steph Curry are more than capable of producing at an otherworldly level tonight (and any other night for that matter), but value is what wins in DFS. Given the money you save on Paul, he is the point guard to build around on this full slate.He takes his league-leading PER into this showdown with the fourth-least efficient defense in basketball, a combination that gives him a very high floor. The assists floor is as high as ever for CP3, and with him currently firing a career-high 4.9 triples per game, not to mention more than five free throws a game for just the second time since joining the Clippers in 2011, his scoring ceiling is higher than youd assume. Have I not mentioned that his 5.2 rebounds and 3.1 steals also represent career highs? There are flashier skill sets to be had at the PG position, but value wins, and Paul is my best option on the board tonight.Al Zeidenfeld?-- Kemba Walker, Charlotte HornetsFew players have taken as large a leap forward in their night-to-night production as Kemba Walker. Most of that improvement can be attributed to his much-improved shooting, and it can certainly be argued that he will be hard-pressed to maintain those rates over the course of the season. The conventional wisdom with Walker was that you played him at home and avoided him on the road, and those splits from past years remain in play in the short sample of games so far this season, as he averages 8.2 more DraftKings points at home as a result of improved shooting rates and assist totals. His price continues to be on the rise but is still too low for the average and ceiling he has possessed through the first 10 games.FadeRenee Miller --?DeMarcus Cousins, Sacramento KingsI hate putting Cousins in this space because he is no doubt one of the top players in the league. Tonight it comes down to a battle with the Clippers, one of the worst fantasy matchups for opposing big men and the league leaders in defensive efficiency. There are enough guys I want to pay up for -- too many in fact -- to be able to squeeze Cousins in when hes in a bad matchup. While I think Cousins will make a 5X value threshold tonight, its often the case on these big Friday slates that 7-8X is what you need to win, and L.A. wont make that easy.Joe Kaiser -- Tristan Thompson, Cleveland CavaliersI know that opposing centers often have big games against Andre Drummond and the Pistons, but Thompson scores a good portion of his DFS points off of rebounds, and those will be hard to come by against Drummond, who is second in the league with 13.8 rebounds per game. Thompson will have to put the ball through the hoop to reach his salary value on Friday.Kyle Soppe - Dennis Schroder, Atlanta HawksYeah, yeah, yeah, I realize that I was up on my soap box earlier this week telling you that I preferred Schroder for the rest of the way to Jeff Teague and Jrue Holiday. And I stand by that. We are looking at a very good point guard who is going to produce in a big way for fantasy owners. Annual fantasy owners. That doesnt mean he cant struggle from time to time, and I believe this is one of those instances.Listen, PER isnt everything, but Schroder ranks 23rd at the PG position, and that could be a major issue in this game that features two of the four most-efficient defenses in basketball. For daily purposes, I also worry about the floor on the Hawks spark plug, as he has not scored more than 13 points and handed out five assists in four straight games. As a young player taking on a new and extended role, Schroder is going to experience his ups and downs, which makes a matchup with a better than you think Hornets defense less than ideal. His cheap price tag is appealing, but Im paying for Chris Paul and pinching pennies elsewhere (Enes Kanter and Thaddeus Young, if youre curious).Al Zeidenfeld -- Terrance Jones, New Orleans PelicansJones had a fantastic game last time out, but with Davis expected to be back, and his price hike pushing him into a range where well need to see 30-plus fantasy points to be satisfied, Ill be staying away from Jones today. Francois Beauchemin Jersey . -- Arizona knocked off some quality opponents, rolled over a few overmatched ones and grinded out victories even when things didnt go so well. Gabriel Landeskog Avalanche Jersey . -- Los Angeles Lakers guard Jordan Farmar will be out for roughly four weeks after tearing his left hamstring. http://www.hockeyavalancheproshop.com/erik-johnson-jersey/ . Manuel was offered a position the day he was fired. He accepted earlier this week and the team made the announcement Friday. The Detroit Tigers may be 0-11 against the Cleveland Indians this season after yet another loss on Tuesday, but have no fear -- ace right-hander Justin Verlander isnt throwing in the towel just yet.Rookie Michael Fulmer, not Verlander, will take the mound for the Tigers as the two teams conclude their tthree-game series with an afternoon matinee on Wednesday. Lanny McDonald Avalanche Jersey. . If Detroit fails to win that game, itll get seven more chances to finally beat Cleveland in September.
