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 DFS expert Renee Miller and ESPN Fantasys Kyle Soppe and Joe Kaiser.LeBron James and Jimmy Butler rank 11th and 12th, respectively, on the Player Rater on a per-game basis. In points leagues, which player would you rather own going forward this season and why?Renee Miller: This is really close, but what decided it for me was thinking about my response to a trade offer of James for Butler. Im taking the James side. One key factor is that I think James and the Cavaliers make a priority of taking care of James body. Hes a lesser injury risk, and while he may have nights when he plays fewer minutes or rests, ultimately, I think you have a better chance of getting a full season out of him.So far, however, James and Butler are both averaging 35 MPG. Butler has a slightly higher player efficiency rating (27.9 vs. James 25.6), but James wins in usage rate (29.8), assist ratio (28.1) and rebound rate (12.2). Those peripheral stats add up in points leagues, and James is a legitimate triple-double threat, whereas Butler lacks in the assist department, averaging just 3.9 APG.If you own Butler, I think youre very happy with his production so far this season, and his dual position eligibility is a plus. Hes an energetic player averaging almost two steals per game and is a primary reason for the Bulls current winning record. Overall, though, Id prefer to own James, and youve got to be feeling good about getting him in the latter part of the first round.While its great for Cleveland to have Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love around James, there is no doubt that this is still very much his team -- not to mention one of the best teams in the league -- and James nightly stat lines prove it.Joe Kaiser: As great of a season as Butler is having, which was no certainty heading into the campaign after Chicagos questionable additions of Rajon Rondo, Dwyane Wade and Michael Carter-Williams, Im still going with LeBron.Both players are playing right around 35-36 minutes a night and, while they are similar statistically in almost every way, LeBron is the far superior distributor (9.3 to 3.9 APG) and that allows him to score 5-10 more fantasy points on a consistent basis.Kyle Soppe: For me, Its James. Dont get me wrong, Butler is a fantasy monster and will continue to be so, but the high floor of The King makes him my pick here.I imagine the argument against James is that he could take a hiatus at some point this season, but he has played more than Butler in three consecutive seasons and is actually averaging more minutes this season than the Bulls All-Star. They are neck-and-neck on the Player Rater right now despite James taking the fewest shots per game of his career (17.1), converting his free throws at the fourth-lowest rate of his career and averaging a career-low 1.6 blocks-plus-steals per game.Butler, on the other hand, is shooting a career-best percentage from the field, from the 3-point line and from the free throw line (while attempting a career high in shots and free throws) in addition to averaging 10.3-percent more rebounds than he ever has. The stats seem to suggest that Butler isnt a great bet to build on his current numbers while James is unlikely to regress ... so no, I dont think Butler passes him when all is said and done this season.

Cheap Chargers Jerseys Authentic . -- Edmontons Val Sweeting is two wins away from a trip to Winnipeg to play in Canadas Road of the Rings in December. http://www.cheapchargersjerseyselite.com/ .

Cheap Chargers Jerseys China . The return match will take place next Wednesday. Udinese leads Fiorentina 2-1 in the other semifinal. Napoli staged a second-half comeback from two goals down after Gervinhos opener and a stunning strike from Kevin Strootman. All Blacks coach Steve Hansen has called on Anton Lienert-Brown to plug the hole in his midfield against Australia in the second Bledisloe Cup Test at Westpac Stadium in Wellington on Saturday, the Chiefs centre named to make his Test debut at inside centre alongside Malakai Fekitoa.Lienert-Brown, 21, was called into the squad as cover following Sonny Bill Williams Achilles tendon injury at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, and further injuries to incumbent No.12 Ryan Crotty, George Moala and Waisake Naholo have compelled Hansen to give Lienert-Brown his chance.He had a very good Super season with strong performances throughout, and we expect him to take the step up, Hansen said of the Christchurch-born midfielder who impressed in defence as the Chiefs overcame a string of injuries to reach the semi-finals.The world champions were plagued by injuries in their 42-8 mauling of the Wallabies in the first Bledisloe encounter, losing Crotty, Naholo and hooker Codie Taylor.Naholo has been replaced by Hurricanes winger Julian Savea in the starting XV, while Dane Coles will start from the first minute in place of Taylor. Coles, 29, played almost the full 80 minutes in Sydney desppite his lingering rib complaint.dddddddddddd.The inexperienced Seta Tamanivalu and James Parsons, both called into the All Blacks set-up this week, take their places on the bench.The team otherwise retains a similar feel to that which notched up a record win on Australian soil last week.The only other changes see Joe Moody replace Wyatt Crockett as the loosehead prop, and Ben Smith swapping positions with Israel Dagg.Victory against the Wallabies will secure New Zealands 14th consecutive Bledisloe Cup success, and put them in the driving seat to reclaim the Rugby Championship.As always, the expectation we have placed on ourselves is to improve in everything we do, Hansen said.New Zealand: Ben Smith, Israel Dagg, Malakai Fekitoa, Anton Lienert-Brown, Julian Savea, Beauden Barrett, Aaron Smith, Kieran Read (capt), Sam Cane, Jerome Kaino, Samuel Whitelock, Brodie Retallick, Owen Franks, Dane Coles, Joe Moody. Replacements: James Parsons, Wyatt Crockett, Charlie Faumuina, Liam Squire, Ardie Savea, TJ Perenara, Aaron Cruden, Seta Tamanivalu.
