With a small slate of games Tuesday (six), youll need to pick the right players to build around and fade. Our experts offer up their answers and debate whether Kawhi Leonard is worth the price.Todays panel includes DFS expert Renee Miller and ESPN Fantasys Joe Kaiser and Kyle Soppe.Players to build aroundRenee Miller -- Jordan Clarkson, Los Angeles LakersToday, Im giving you the guy who Im actually using in all of my lineups, not necessarily the guy I think will score the most fantasy points. Clarksons usage benefits from DAngelo Russells absence, and he will be playing in what Vegas has as the highest-scoring game. The Lakers are modest underdogs tonight, but it should stay close enough for Clarkson to play 30-plus minutes and exceed value in a top-10 SG matchup with the Pelicans. With Clarksons reasonable salary as the starting point for me, I can vary the higher-priced stars I want exposure to on tonights slate, without unnecessary risk.Joe Kaiser -- Kawhi Leonard, San Antonio SpursLeonard is a star who has 50-point upside in DFS and is priced below $8,500 on both DraftKings and FanDuel. Hes a strong value at that price, regardless of the opponent, but particularly tonight against an Orlando team thats in the bottom third of the league in terms of DFS points allowed to small forwards.Kyle Soppe -- George Hill, Utah JazzIm locking myself into quality here and hoping for quantity. Hill has been remarkably efficient in November, as he is averaging 21.7 points on 56.8 percent shooting from the field in his seven games to go along with nearly four assists for every turnover. He has been rock solid in his three games since returning from a thumb injury that cost him two weeks, and a potential up-and-down game against the defensively inept Rockets could give him more opportunities than a standard game might. Be aware that this is his first back-to-back since the two-week hiatus, but if youre eyeing Anthony Davis tonight, Hill could be a nice alternative to the expensive top tier of point guards. Its rare, but I am all in favor of pairing Hill with one of his Jazz teammates (Gordon Hayward and Rodney Hood being the best options) in a contrarian type of move.Players to fadeRenee Miller -- Kawhi Leonard, San Antonio SpursIve tried fitting both LeBron James and Leonard into lineups today and I dont like how it turns out. While both have shown a lower floor than Id like to see over the past week or so, Leonard faces a slow-paced team that actually ranks higher than the Spurs in defensive efficiency (Orlando is 10th in that category). Add the fact that the Spurs are huge favorites (minus -13.5) in this projected low-scoring game, and Leonard simply may not be asked to do enough tonight to pay off his salary.Joe Kaiser -- Aaron Gordon, Orlando MagicGordon is back in the starting lineup for a second game in a row and is priced so low that there might be some temptation to roster him. Dont do it. Hell be matched up against Leonard, one of the top defenders in the league, and doesnt have the well-rounded game or scoring/shooting ability to put up big DFS numbers.Kyle Soppe -- Andre Drummond, Detroit PistonsDrummond is great at what he does, but his limited skill set makes him a player I will often avoid. First of all, if Im going to go for this type of player, why not go with a cheaper version of a similar option in DeAndre Jordan? That thought aside, this simply isnt a good spot for Drummond, as the Hornets are a stingy defense that owns the third-best defensive rebounding rate in basketball. With the Hornets on the second night of a back-to-back and the Pistons operating as the fifth-slowest offense in basketball, Im not sure that Drummonds scoring output can offset what I expect might be a down game (by his crazy standards) on the boards. Even if the tired Hornets offer less resistance than normal, the ease of scoring simply isnt there, as Drummond has made one more free throw than I have over the last eight days ... This just in: I dont play in the NBA! Custom Nationals T-shirts . Robinson finished with 17 points, all but two in the second half, and Lawson had 14 after halftime and finished with a game-high 11 assists as the Nuggets handed Dallas its first home loss in eight games this season.

This is the time of year when teams fighting for spots in the College Football Playoff might be tempted to run up big margins in hopes of impressing the selection committee.Whether that strategy actually makes a difference is up for debate.Texas Tech athletic director Kirby Hocutt, who chairs the College Football Playoff committee, says the committee doesnt take margin of victory into account.We talk about how that team has performed each and every week, Hocutt said. We talk about `Was that a convincing win? ... I believe, in certain games a convincing win can be a 14-0 score, and in other games it can be a 35-7 score. I think in the game of college football, a convincing win can vary. But in no way do we incent margin of victory.Yet that didnt stop Louisville coach Bobby Petrino from bringing up margin of victory recently when he complained about his teams position in the rankings. Maybe I made a mistake, looking back at it, he said. (Against) Florida State, we shouldve kept all the starters in and scored 80 points and done that.Louisville beat Florida State 63-20 on Sept. 17, though the Cardinals playoff hopes suffered a major blow Thursday night when they fell 36-10 at Houston.Of course, scoring 80 against Florida State technically shouldnt have mattered to the committee if it isnt taking margin of victory into account. But how do the committee members not pay attention to the actual scores of games?I think they do to some degree, Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said. Thats probably the best way to say it. I think they take all of it into consideration. But its a very bright group that, in some cases, it probably doesnt matter too much to them, and in some cases it does.Jeff Sagarin, who has his own rating system to rank teams, says common sense shows that the playoff committee does factor in the scores of each game. Sagarin cited the 2014 season, when eventual national champion Ohio State leapfrogged TCU to earn the fourth playoff spot after trouncing Wisconsin 59-0 in the Big Ten championship game.Their problem is if they ever verbalize, `Oh, we look at scores, then people will castigate them for encouraging teams to run up the score, so they have to pretend they dont, Sagarin said.Sagarin says his own ratings are based on who did you play, where did you play and what was the score. His rankings at the start of this week were virtually identical to the CFP rankings, with one notable exception.The CFP rankings had Clemson fourth and Louisville fifth, while Sagarins ratings reversed the order of those two Atlantic Coast Conference teams. Those rankings were done before Louisvilles loss to Houston. Both the CFP and Sagarin had Alabaama first, Ohio State second, Michigan third and Washington sixth.ddddddddddddYou get better accuracy predicting future games when you use the score, Sagarin said. Thats all I can say about it. If people want to ignore the scores, thats their business, but the committee, I dont think they do (ignore the scores).Alabama coach Nick Saban, whose team has appeared in each of the first two playoffs, says he doesnt believe margin of victory should be factored into the CFP rankings.I dont think that beating another team by an embarrassing score really should be something that (should be rewarded) from a sportsmanship standpoint or a common respect standpoint for the other team and their players and their families, Saban said. Thats not really something that should be a part of the game.But Hocutt acknowledged the committee discusses what constitutes a convincing win. How often has the eye test come up as a way to judge a team during the playoff era? Sagarin notes the frequent references to style points.Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher recalls the example of his 2014 team that went undefeated in the regular season but only earned a No. 3 seed in the playoff behind Alabama and Oregon, who had each lost a game. Florida State played several close games that year, and committee members often referred to the Seminoles lack of game control without specifically mentioning scores.We were undefeated, hadnt lost in two years, but game control, Fisher said this week. I havent heard `game control anymore. Did that one go out of the equation?Ohio State coach Urban Meyer says he doesnt mind a scenario in which the committee considers how well a team played without specifically analyzing the victory margin. Meyer was concerned that if the victory margin becomes an ultimate measuring stick, teams might start acting ...I guess the term is very unsportsmanlike.Im hoping the committee -- I have great confidence there -- just looks at the body of work, the strength of schedule and how they played, Meyer said.The dilemma in that approach is determining how a team played without considering victory margin. That backs up Sagarins notion that scores are taken into consideration, whether or not the committee says so.Its not something evil, Sagarin said. Scores reflect what happened in the game.
