WASHINGTON -- The scoreboard wasnt working at the outset, when there were thousands of empty seats and the fans that did show up were quiet as can be, so the arena announcer pierced the silence Thursday night, telling the small gathering by just how much the mediocre Washington Wizards were trailing the Denver Nuggets, basket after basket.It was kind of, like, a gloomy feel, Denvers Wilson Chandler said.Eventually, the overhead electronic display began functioning, and when Wizards guard Bradley Beals airball led to a shot-clock violation with the hosts already down 12 and proud owners of seven turnovers and two made baskets, the till-then mum spectators mustered the energy to boo the home team.It was that kind of night for the Wizards until the second half, when it became that sort of night for the Nuggets. Washington erased a double-digit deficit and, thanks to Beals 26 points and Denvers season-high 29 turnovers, beat the Nuggets 92-85.Washington is 8-13. The Nuggets lost for the fifth time in six games, dropping to 8-15.This was not a marquee matchup, by any definition, and the atmosphere was apt. The announced attendance was 12,645 -- about 7,000 shy of a sellout. At tipoff, fewer were there. The scoreboard was stuck at 0-0 for several minutes, which kind of bugged us, Beal said.The place had all the verve of a library.You always want that sixth man, that disadvantage to the other squad, Beal said. But at the same time, were all grown men, were all NBA players, this is our job, and at the end of the day, we have to go out there and play the game ... if theres one fan or 30,000.John Wall scored only 15 points one game after a career-best 52, but nine came in the fourth quarter.With starting point guard Emmanuel Mudiay inactive because of a sprained right ankle, and leading rebounder Kenneth Faried on the bench throughout, the Nuggets went 5 1/2 minutes without a point in the fourth quarter. In that period, they had 10 turnovers and shot 1 for 14 on 3-pointers.Washington coach Scott Brooks keeps lamenting no-effort defense from his team, which allowed 124 points in a loss to Orlando on Tuesday.We were disappointed in ourselves last game. All of us, Brooks said. Its only one game, but we did play better defense.Nuggets coach Michael Malone attributed his teams 12-point fourth quarter mainly to fatigue on the second game of a back-to-back.Not taking anything away from their team, I thought a lot of our turnovers were self-inflicted, Malone said, and when you get tired, you start to make mistakes, mental mistakes.TIP-INSNuggets: Nikola Jokic scored 17 points. ... Denver led 22-8 in the first quarter and 52-47 at halftime. ... Previous season-high was 25 turnovers.Wizards: Wall drew a technical foul for hitting Jusuf Nurkic with a forearm in the third quarter. ... Washington is 6-6 at home, 2-7 on the road.DENVERS CHANGESMudiay missed a game for the first time all season. Hes fourth on Denver in scoring (13.1), second in assists (3.8). He went out and tried to warm up before the game, Malone said. Just wasnt feeling right. Farieds minutes, declining recently, went to zero Thursday. By no means is Kenneth Faried out of our rotation or not going to play for us, Malone said.LEADERSHIPAsked who takes care of holding teammates accountable when things dont go well, Wizards F Markieff Morris replied: Wall is the voice and Im like the muscle.UP NEXTNuggets: At Orlando on Saturday night.Wizards: Host Milwaukee on Saturday night.Cheap Nike Air Zoom Canada . Wall made the comment in a speech to a Regina business crowd that included Lesnar. The U.S. wrestler and retired mixed martial artist says he was visiting his brothers farm in Saskatchewan and decided he wanted to hear what the premier had to say. Nike Air Zoom Clearance Canada . Scott won the Australian PGA last week in his first event in Australia since winning the U.S. Masters in April.

Discount Nike Air Zoom Canada . Westbrook has missed 27 games since having a procedure on Dec. 27 to deal with swelling in his injured right knee — the third operation on the knee in nine months. Nike Zoom Canada Sale . Now that hes hitting streaking teammates with pin-point passes for easy layups, Love is asserting himself as one of the true superstars in the league.There is plenty of star power to choose from on the mound Tuesday, as well as several intriguing mid-level guys who are tough to stack against, so youll likely want to piece your offense together from several different teams, unless you commit entirely to the Coors Field game and try to hit big on some low-dollar arms.PitchingEliteDanny Duffy and Justin Verlander are not only two of the best pitchers going Tuesday but they are also squaring against each other in Detroit. With Verlanders teammate, Michael Fulmer, qualifying for the ERA title on Sunday, Duffy sits second in the American League with a 2.82 mark, and that isnt just built on 16 relief appearances (3.00). He has a 2.79 ERA in his 17 starts.Corey Klubers 53 Game Score his latest time out snapped a streak of five straight at 60 or better, four of which were north of 70. Over his past nine starts, he has a 2.13 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 62 Ks in 63 1/3 IP. A bad outing in Toronto (hardly a sin) is the only blemish in that stretch. The White Sox are averaging just 3.6 runs per game since July 1. Kluber had a 7 1/3 IP/1 ER gem against them back in May, when they were actually scoring some runs.SolidI cant keep Noah Syndergaard in the elite tier right now. Hes still projected for a 59 Game Score, but he has reached or exceeded that level just twice in his past nine starts. He has a 4.20 ERA and 1.56 (!) WHIP during that run, with an average of 15.6 DraftKings points and 30.4 FanDuel points. Hes still getting strikeouts, with 57 in the 49 1/3 innings, but its not enough to make him worth the big spend, especially on a slate with 13 arms projected at 55-plus Game Scores.Jason Hammel?draws only a 54 projected Game Score, but hes pitching better than a lot of guys on Tuesdays slate lately. Since the Mets pummeled him for 10 earned runs in just four innings, he has allowed 6 ER in 36 innings (1.50 ERA) with 33 strikeouts and 10 walks. He hasnt allowed a single run in either of his August starts, including one against Milwaukee. Since joining the Cubs in 2014, Hammel has a 2.65 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 53 strikeouts in 54 1/3 IP against Milwaukee.Jose Quintana and Marco Estrada are both unquestionably having good seasons with sub-3.00 ERAs and quality WHIP to support it, but their path to success doesnt always yield comparable DFS success. The duo have topped 30 points at DraftKings a combined four times in 46 starts. Verlander and Kluber each have seven, and even Duffy has five in just 17 starts. Neither Quintana nor Estrada is a particularly big strikeout guy, but they sit at 74 and 75 percent, respectively, in quality start rate, which puts them both in the top 11.Kenta Maeda and Vincent Velasquez are intriguing options, but they are facing each other in Philly. We actually just saw them square off in L.A., with Maeda getting the better end, though neither was particularly useful in DFS. Velasquez was trounced for nine earned, so Maeda drew the win with a modest 5 IP/3 ER showing. Velasquez has the better strikeout rate this year (10.1 to 8.9), but over the past two months, they are nearly even: 9.5 for Maeda, 9.3 for Velasquez.Dallas Keuchel has shaved a run off of his ugly 5.54 ERA over the past nine starts, with the only hiccup coming at Detroit, when the Tigers got him for 7 ER in five innings. He followed that with a shutout of Texas, which gave him a 3.13 ERA in those nine starts. The Detroit outing was the only one in which he didnt throw at least six innings. He still isnt someone youre dying to use in your lineup, but hes back on the table as a passable option, especially with his price tanked from the horrific start to his season.Streamers Young AL East lefties Eduardo Rodriguez and Blake Snell are both gamble options who can put you in position to win big as quickly as they can end your night. They will be low-used arms, but their peaks have been impressive this year. Snell has spiked Game Scores north of 60 four times in his 11 starts, while Rodriguez has three in 12, including two this month.ddddddddddddI wont blame you if you havent been paying attention to Ervin Santana, especially because he had a 5.10 ERA after his first 12 starts. But over his past nine, hes toting a 2.05 ERA with two complete game efforts, including one against the same Braves he faces Tuesday. He has only 44 strikeouts over the 61 1/3 IP, but he has spiked eight twice and has four five-strikeout starts in the past nine.It looks like Jameson Taillon might be catching San Francisco at the perfect time. He gets to face them in their pitcher-friendly ballpark, while they are in a downturn, with a 16-20 record since July 1 and just 3.8 runs per game in that stretch. Taillon is coming off his second 8 IP/0 ER outing, this time against the Padres, and he has allowed just 3 ER in his past 20 IP. He lacks the strikeout upside to put up huge nights, as he has yet to break 30 DraftKings point, but he will still cost you $9,100 over there. I cant completely ignore him, but I think there are better uses of your budget on a full slate Tuesday. Plus, this Giants offense can still be dangerous.Anthony DeSclafani has allowed more than 3 ER just once this year (5 ER at San Francisco three weeks ago -- see? dangerous), but he didnt start his season until June 10, so it is just 12 starts so far. After fanning just two in each of his first starts, he notched five or more in nine of his past 10. In short, hes a solid SP2 option.AvoidGio Gonzalez will have a hard time staying hot with a trip to Coors. He has a 3.00 ERA in his past seven starts and has allowed more than three earned just once, but I wouldnt mess with the lefty in Colorado. The second you start trusting Michael Pineda is the second he drops five earned on your face.HittingColorado has gotten some decent pitching this year, but it hasnt been from Chad Bettis. He has an ERA north of 5.00 both home and away, so the Nationals will no doubt be licking their chops for the series opener. Maybe a trip to Coors is what Bryce Harper needs to get back on track? Daniel Murphy, Wilson Ramos?and Anthony Rendon will be heavily considered by most. Jayson Werth has a 42-game on-base streak going but just a .682 OPS against righties this year.The Reds draw the second highest overall rating on the day, as they get Jose Urena, but who are you dying to use besides?Joey Votto? Maybe Adam Duvall? Perhaps the sneaky pairing with Votto is Tucker Barnhart. He has a .740 OPS against right-handers this year, 86 points higher than against lefties.A battle between Andrew Triggs and Lucas Harrell is ripe for fantasy goodness, but there just arent many guys beyond Khris Davis whom Im interested in for Oakland, so Im focused on Texas here. Nomar Mazara has been a righty killer this year, so Ill definitely be looking at him along with other lefties, Mitch Moreland and Rougned Odor. Ian Desmond has done his best work against lefties, but his .772 OPS against righties with 14 HRs (out of 20 total) against righties keeps him viable against anyone.If you want to spend on pitching in lieu of the Coors hitting, the Seattle Mariners are a great target for offense. Jhoulys Chacin has been a nightmare with the Angels (6.00 ERA in 72 IP), and a lefty-heavy lineup such as Seattles is only going to exacerbate the situation. Robinson Cano, Kyle Seager, Adam Lind, Leonys Martin?and Seth Smith are all on the radar. I wouldnt rule out right-handed Nelson Cruz, who has an .848 OPS against right-handers this year, with 15 of his 29 homers.Most likely to go yard: Brian DozierHe had just five home runs through May but has clubbed 21 since June 1. He has hit 18 of his 26 homers against righties, too. Good luck, Joel De La Cruz.Most likely to swipe a bag: Travis JankowskiHe has already swiped 25 bases in just 235 plate appearances this season, and neither Bobby Wilson nor Luke Maile is good at stifling base runners for Tampa Bay.
