Every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, we pose a question to a rotating panel of ESPN fantasy basketball experts to gauge their thoughts on a hot topic. Todays contributors are ESPN NBA Insider Bradford Doolittle and ESPN Fantasys Kyle Soppe and Joe Kaiser.While Klay Thompsons ridiculous 60 points in 29 minutes grabbed all of Mondays headlines, Memphis Grizzlies guard Troy Daniels continued his own hot scoring streak, racking up 29 points and 7 3-pointers against the New Orleans Pelicans. Injuries have opened up a larger role for the journeyman, who has responded with 19, 19, 31 and 29 points with a total of 20 3s over his past four outings. Is his scoring legit? Should fantasy owners add him for the short or long term?Bradford Doolittle: The scoring and shooting are legit. Daniels has been one of the best long-range shooters in the NBA for a couple of years. Unfortunately, the rest of his game is limited enough that hes always been a third-stringer. The instant-offense role the Grizzlies have been using him in is his ideal gig, and hopefully, hes opened some eyes with his outburst. There is nothing hes done the last four games that is out of line with his career numbers except for the key factor: Hes played more.As the Grizzlies gradually get healthier, Daniels role will become more inconsistent. Hes a poor defender, doesnt make plays well enough for more than spot duty at point guard and can swing to small forward only in very small lineups. However, Memphis short-term injury prognosis is ugly enough that they should continue to lean on Daniels for scoring. Even as they get guys back, it would be surprising if Daniels started getting DNPs once again, but his court time will be limited enough that he wont be an impact producer.Kyle Soppe: As is always the case, the true answer lies somewhere in the middle. No, Daniels isnt Stephen Curry-lite after scoring 60 points in his last two games, but the fantasy relevance is here to stay ... in the right situation. Daniels never has been given an extended opportunity, but in limited playing time, he has yet to show much promise in non-scoring categories.It doesnt help his case that the Grizzlies are functioning as the third-slowest offense, so counting on volume is dangerous to say the least. That said, the bump in playing time makes Daniels a strong contributor in points and 3-pointers for the foreseeable future. Daniels is an add in all formats, but expectations need to be tempered a bit -- there are high peaks and low valleys to come.Joe Kaiser: The scoring is legit. Anyone who can hit seven 3s in an NBA game has to be taken seriously as a shooter and a scorer, and Daniels always was regarded highly for his 3-point shooting while in college at VCU.What this all comes down to is opportunity, though. Right now, the minutes are there for Daniels (he played 44 minutes in the overtime win over the Pelicans on Monday), but as soon as James Ennis, Chandler Parsons, Vince Carter and Mike Conley return, you can expect Daniels to play fewer than 20 minutes a game off the bench. The right thing to do is ride him while you can right now, and be prepared to sell high if you get the chance. Basketball Shoes Cheap China .

MINNEAPOLIS -- The 20th season of the WNBA ended with an amazing final game that is sure to warm the hearts of Sparks fans and irritate Lynx fans for years to come.In Los Angeles 77-76 victory in Game 5 of the WNBA Finals on Thursday, there were huge shots, key rebounds, crucial steals -- and one controversial basket by the Sparks that appeared to come after the shot clock expired late in the fourth quarter.It prompted angry postgame comments about officiating from Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve. And it followed a missed backcourt violation in Game 4 -- a mistake the WNBA formally acknowledged -- that went in Minnesotas favor in that close contest the Lynx won in Los Angeles.While those moments put an unwanted focus on the referees, the fact is that this series was exactly what the WNBA was hoping for with its changes to the playoff format. Doing away with conference affiliation and seeding the top eight teams by record meant that the two best teams -- Minnesota at 28-6 and Los Angeles at 26-8 -- had the chance to meet in the WNBA Finals, despite both being West teams.The result was a hard-fought, exciting series where momentum was fleeting because both teams were so good. It figured that the last game would come down to the closing seconds, because so little separated the Sparks and the Lynx.The team that won this game deserved to win the game, Lynx star Maya Moore said in a very quiet, disappointed Minnesota locker room. Its just hard to have it come that close. The crowd was awesome, and were so appreciative of all the support and energy that they brought us, and we gave it everything we had.But the 19,423 who came to Target Center hoping to see the Lynx win their second consecutive title and tie the Houston Comets with four championships overall instead watched as time ran out on the Lynx after Nneka Ogwumikes winning putback with 3.1 seconds left.Everybody at one point made a big play, said Moore, who had 23 points, 11 assists and 6 rebounds. Nneka made a great hustle play to will them to that last shot.Lynx point guard Lindsay Whalen actually had the final shot, a heave from about half court, that Sparks center Candace Parker watched with some fear.Its like, I cant breathe until the ball hit the backboard, Parker said. Theres a possibility Lindsay could make a half-court shot with our luck. Until the last moment when there was zero on the clock and I had the ball, thats when Kristi [Toliver] just tackled me, and it was amazing.For the league, it was a terrific showcase of the talent that has developed in the 20 years of the WNBAs existence. Sparks coach Brian Agler, who started his WNBA career in Minnesota when the franchise launched in 1999, gave credit to the Lynx for all theyve done to raise the bar in the league.Toliver did the same thing, talking about how much Minnesotas greatness -- the Lynx have been in the WNBA Finals five of the past six years -- set the standard for everyone else.Toliver said that the night before Game 5, the Sparks watched ESPNs 30-for-30 documentary, Bad Boys, on the Detroit Pistons rise to winning NBA titles in 1989 and 90. The Pistons won the first of those championships by beating Los Angeles, after the Lakers had won two in a row.Considering then-Lakers legend Magic Johnson is one of the Sparks owners now, you might think it odd that the Sparks would look to the Pistons, of all teams, for inspiration. But the documentary was motivating because it illustrated how Detroit successfully challenged the established greatness of the LLakers.ddddddddddddBecause thats what the Sparks were trying to do in this series against the Lynx. And they ended up doing it by winning twice in Minnesota, which few were expecting.Minnesota is a great franchise that has won multiple championships, Toliver said. We had much to learn from them. So for us to beat them on their home court, it speaks volumes about us and who we are. Its something nobody really thought we could do except us.The Sparks also won Game 1 here at Target Center 78-76 on Alana Beards buzzer-beating jumper. That was the loss that Reeve particularly lamented, because she thought the Lynx had their worst overall performance in that game.Minnesota then dominated Game 2 with defense, winning 79-60. The Sparks turned the tables in the third game with the series moving to Los Angeles, winning the aggression and energy battle to prevail 92-75.With a chance to claim the title at home at Staples Center on Sunday, the Sparks made a few key errors down the stretch, and Minnesota made big plays. The Lynx won 85-79, and it seemed as though they had the momentum -- finally -- wrapped up for the series.But despite the green-clad bedlam of Target Center on Thursday, the Sparks just didnt get rattled. They trailed 34-28 at halftime, with Ogwumike battling foul trouble. But the Sparks offense was much sharper in the third quarter, outscoring Minnesota 26-21, and setting up a down-to-the wire fourth quarter.As was the case in Game 4, the final period was epic all on its own. Parkers layup put the Sparks ahead 71-63 with 3:06 left in the game. The Lynx rallied with an 8-0 run capped by Whalens steal and layup, tying the score at 71.At the 1:12 mark, Ogwumike hit the shot that appeared to be released just after the shot clock expired, but it wasnt reviewed by the officials. Reeve was very unhappy about that afterward.Get the simple things right and well live with the other stuff that happens in a game, Reeve said. Maybe they still win; I dont know. Thats why I dont want to take anything away from L.A.Theres no question the second half, they scored at will in the paint. We had them at 34 percent in the first half. I thought [we were] defending our tails off, and then in the second half, we didnt get that done.It was riveting final minute, no matter which side you were rooting for. Seimone Augustus, the longest-tenured Lynx player, tied the score at 73 with a jumper. Then Minnesotas Rebekkah Brunson was fouled, and hit one of two free throws.Parker answered with a layup off a great feed from Ogwumike to put the Sparks back up 75-74 with 19.7 seconds left. But Moore hit a turnaround baseline jumper to give the Lynx a 76-75 lead.In the Sparks final possession, Chelsea Gray -- whose six fourth-quarter points were very big -- missed a shot, but Ogwumike grabbed the rebound. Her follow was blocked by Sylvia Fowles, but Ogwumike got it back and scored this time.We said, The rebound of your life is coming, Toliver explained about what the Sparks told Ogwumike during their last timeout. And that was the rebound and putback of her life.It was a heartbreaking end for the Lynxs Roar for Four quest, but a dream come true for so many of the Sparks veteran players who at times had to seriously wonder if this would ever happen.And for the WNBA, it was a game that will be long remembered.They really wanted it, Ogwumike said. But we wanted it, too. ' ' '
