We have a full slate of NBA games on Friday night (10), so that leaves plenty of options for DFS players. 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.

BELLEFONTE, Pa. -- A jury awarded a former Penn State assistant football coach $7.3 million in damages Thursday, finding the university defamed him after it became public that his testimony helped prosecutors charge Jerry Sandusky with child molestation.Jurors deliberated for about four hours in Mike McQuearys defamation and misrepresentation lawsuit.Judge Thomas Gavin still must decide McQuearys whistleblower claim that he was treated unfairly as the school suspended him from coaching duties, placed him on paid administrative leave, barred him from team facilities and then did not renew his contract shortly after he testified at Sanduskys 2012 trial.McQueary remained stoic as the verdict was read, and he and his lawyers made no comment as they left the courthouse.A Penn State spokesman said the university would not comment on the case and the jurys verdict until a final decision is rendered on all counts.McQueary had been seeking more than $4 million in lost wages and other damages, saying he was defamed by a statement the school president released the day Sandusky was charged, retaliated against for helping with the Sandusky investigation and misled by school administrators.Jurors awarded him $1.15 million on the defamation claim and $1.15 million on the misrepresentation allegation that two administrators lied to him when they said they took his report of Sandusky seriously and would respond appropriately. They also awarded $5 million in punitive damages.Sandusky, a former defensive coach at Penn State, was convicted of sexual abuse of 10 boys and is serving a 30- to 60-year prison sentence. He maintains his innocence.Strokoff called McQuearys treatment by the university outrageous.He should not have been the scapegoat, he said earlier during closing arguments.Penn State attorney Nancy Conrad emphasized in her arguments that McQueary had said he was damaged by public criticism that he did not to go to police or child welfare authorities when he saw Sandusky sexually abusing a boy in a team shower in 2001. Instead he reeported it the next day to then-head coach Joe Paterno.ddddddddddddr. McQueary was not damaged by any action of the university, Conrad said. Mr. McQueary, as he testified and as he recognized, if he was harmed, was harmed by national media and public opinion.McQueary testified he has not been able to find work, either in coaching or elsewhere, but Conrad blamed that on an inadequate network of contacts and the lack of a national reputation.McQueary was not allowed to coach in the schools first game after Paterno was fired, a home loss to Nebraska.That sends a very clear signal to those in your network that the university doesnt want you to be supported, Strokoff said. `Stay away, youre a nonperson.Penn State has argued it put McQueary on leave out of safety concerns, as threats were fielded by the university.Strokoff said there was no evidence of multiple death threats against his client.Conrad insisted the university did take steps to inform McQueary about the actions they were taking, which included telling Sandusky to stop bringing children into team facilities and meeting with Sandusky and an official from the childrens welfare charity he founded.No one told Mr. McQueary, `You cannot go to the police, Conrad said.The defamation claim involved a statement issued by then-Penn State President Graham Spanier expressing support for the two administrators when they were charged with perjury for allegedly lying about what McQueary told them in the weeks after the 2001 incident.A state appeals court earlier this year dismissed the perjury charges against the administrators, former Athletic Director Tim Curley and former Vice President Gary Schultz. But Curley, Schultz and Spanier still await trial in Harrisburg on charges of failure to properly report suspected child abuse and endangering the welfare of children.Strokoff said Spaniers statement could have led people to conclude McQueary was a liar.
