Its looking like a rough year in South Florida, which limits the appeal of any players on the Florida Panthers. Joe Carter Jersey . At the same time, those low expectations can present opportunities to find draft day value. Top Picks: Under the principle of All Things Are Relative, LW Tomas Fleischmann qualifies as a top pick for the Panthers, even though hes probably a low-end No. 2 left winger for fantasy owners. Thats not all on Fleischmann, though, as he doesnt necessarily have the supporting cast to produce his best numbers. Nevertheless, he has 96 points over the last two seasons, which is good enough to tie for 45th in the league. Value Plays: One of the better offensive defencemen in the league, D Brian Campbell plays more than 26 minutes per game for the Panthers and, since 2005-2006, ranks third among defencemen with 351 points. Peripheral numbers (hits, blocked shots) and plus-minus bring Campbells value down, but hes a top four defenceman for fantasy owners. Sleepers/Breakthrough: Last years Calder Trophy winner, LW Jonathan Huberdeau, certainly comes into this season with high expectations. Hes likely to play more minutes and should be more productive. The concern, from a fantasy angle, is that Huberdeau was minus-15 in 48 games last season. With the Panthers expected to struggle again, how bad could his plus-minus be this year? That isnt reason to abandon Huberdeau altogether; he makes sense as a low-end No. 2 or high-end No. 3 left winger, but there is risk involved. If G Tim Thomas is indeed ready to resume his NHL career, he has potential value. From 2007-2008 through 2011-2012, his .926 save percentage was the best in the league (minimum 150 games). If not Thomas, then G Jacob Markstrom who has a .906 save percentage in 31 NHL games. Markstrom, 23, is 6-foot-6 and does have a .923 save percentage in 65 AHL games over the last two seasons, so the time is right to give him a legitimate shot at the starting job, but if hes not ready for it, hes not ready. If he is, then hell also have fantasy value because hes likely to see a lot of action. In 2011-2012, RW Kris Versteeg was riding high on the Panthers top line with Fleischmann and Stephen Weiss, but last year was shortened by a knee injury and hes now attempting to come back in time for the start of the regular season. Hes a four-time 20-goal scorer whose track record ensures that, if healthy, he would be a signficant part of the Panthers offence. Injuries have already been a problem for D Dmitry Kulikov, who has missed 62 games in four NHL seasons, but he does have puck skills and is playing more than 20 minutes per game when hes in the lineup. In deep leagues, as a late-round pick, the 22-year-old could be ready to start realizing his potential. Rookies: A surprise selection as the second overall pick in the summer, Aleksander Barkov not only has a good chance to make the Panthers, but he could, in short order, be the teams No. 1 centre. He scored 48 points in 53 Finnish League games last season and, by all accounts, is ready to play in the NHL, but its all a question of value. Is Barkov ready to play and put up 30 points, which isnt bad for an 18-year-old, or is he ready to play and produce in a scoring role, tallying 50-plus points? Right now, put the expectation somewhere in between and if that means hes a bench selection or late-round pick in a deep league, that might be the best way to approach that unknown.

These two teams will tangle Friday night in Big D. The Nuggets havent lost since New Years Day when they fell on the road to the Chicago Bulls. During this run, Denver has won two as the visitor and two as the host. On Friday, the Nuggets toppled the Kings in Sacramento, 118-108. Ty Lawson scored 14 of his 22 points during a dominant third quarter. Denver outscored Sacramento by a 36-15 margin in the third, then cruised to victory in the fourth. Arron Afflalo added 22 points for the Nuggets, who have won four in a row. Jusuf Nurkic and J.J. Hickson each had 16 points, with Nurkic also pulling down eight boards and blocking three shots. Defensive intensity allowed us to get easy baskets, Afflalo said. The Nuggets shot 55.3 percent from the field, while holding the Kings under 50 percent. Despite their winning ways, the Nuggets are a team in transition. They traded starting center Timofey Mozgov to the Cleveland Cavaliers for two first-round picks, and, on Tuesday, sent backup guard Nate Robinson to the Boston Celtics for another backup guard, Jameer Nelson. Nelson is not expected in uniform on Wednesday. The Mavs will try to make this a winning road trip. They started wwith a 20- point drubbing to the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday, but rebounded with a 108-104 overtime win Tuesday against the Kings. Jose Cardenal Indians Jersey. Monta Ellis had 28 points, 10 assists and four steals to lead the Mavs. Tyson Chandler posted 16 points and 17 rebounds, while Rajon Rondo added 21 points, seven helpers and four swipes for Dallas, which snapped a brief two- game losing streak on the heels of a six-game winning stretch. We showed a lot of resilience down the stretch, Chandler said. The Mavs closed regulation on a 14-4 run and when Sacramentos DeMarcus Cousins fouled out with under 30 seconds to go, they were able to capitalize in overtime. Rondo nailed a right wing triple with the shot clock running down with 1:14 remaining in overtime to stake the Mavs to a 104-102 advantage. Jason Thompson was fouled on a rebound with 51.2 ticks left, but split the pair of bonus shots. Dirk Nowitzki missed a jumper at the other end, but Chandler Parsons snatched the offensive rebound and Ellis made two foul shots with 8.7 seconds to play. Dallas elected to foul Darren Collison, who sunk 1-of-2 from the charity stripe and two Ellis free throws with 5.7 ticks remaining sealed the outcome. The Nuggets took three of four meetings last season against the Mavs and have won five of the last seven. Denver has won three in a row as the host over Dallas. ' ' '
