Leicester forward Riyad Mahrez has insisted the team are under no pressure as they chase a first top-flight title in the clubs 132-year history. The Algeria international had not expected at the start of the season that, with nine games to go, the Foxes would be looking down from the top of the Premier League, with a five-point advantage over the following pack. Mahrez boost for Leicester Riyad Mahrez has given Leicester an injury boost ahead of their MNF game against Newcastle But he claimed the pressure was far less than at the same point in the 2014/15 term, when they were bottom of the table and needed seven wins from their last nine games to escape the drop. And as he nears the end of a remarkable season - which has seen him score 15 league goals and strongly tipped to be crowned PFA Player of the Year - he brushed off suggestions he was looking for an exit.Im not thinking about that, he said. The last games we need to keep working hard and see what we can do. Im really not thinking about this. I have three more years in Leicester and then well see.The 25-year-old admitted he did not start the 2015/16 campaign anticipating Leicester would be top of the table in March. Mahrez scores the winning goal at Watford I wasnt expecting that, but thats now the reality, he said. Im happy to be here. Im pleased.On any jitters the leaders may be feeling for the run-in, he said: No pressure. We are playing as always. We just work hard for everyone. We are just a good team, good team-mates and we are doing well. We have to keep going.Mahrez was speaking as he visited the Houses of Parliament to accept a Sportsman of the Year prize as part of the Political and Public Life Awards, voted for by readers of Asian Voice magazine. Claudio Ranieri has dismissed speculation linking Mahrez with Barcelona He told Sky Sports News HQ: People think we have pressure, but we are just like normal. We have always been like that and we stay like that, like a normal team.Now everyone starts talking about us, and thats normal of course because we are doing very well, but we have to keep going. No pressure, just a bonus. Youre in a good team, you have to enjoy.He left no doubt that he felt there was less pressure at the top of the table than the bottom. Last year was very difficult, he said. Last year we had pressure.Last year gave us more experience and we are now in a different situation - we are playing for the title. Its something crazy, but thats the reality. You have to enjoy it.In other news at Leicester, boss Claudio Ranieri wants the contracts extended for assistants Craig Shakespeare and Steve Walsh, the much-trumpeted head of recruitment credited for identifying and signing Mahrez, NGolo Kante and Jamie Vardy.It is very important to keep them, Ranieri said. I ask them to sign the same as my contract [until 2018] because I have a very good relationship with all my staff. I would prefer it everybody is happy with me, their contract, everything.Yes, the sooner they can sign, the happier they are and the sooner we can continue to grow up.

Mondays evening slate of NBA action offers up just five games. Which players should you build around and which players should you fade? Our experts have the answers.Todays panel includes ESPN Fantasys Kyle Soppe, Joe Kaiser, plus DFS expert Renee Miller.Players to build aroundKyle Soppe -- Eric Bledsoe, Phoenix SunsBledsoe has had a tough week. So what? His DFS price has dropped a bit after he shot just 37.5 percent from the field (20 percent from 3-point range) over the last week, but he has a chance Monday in Minnesota to resume what was a solid campaign, as he faces the fourth-least efficient defense in the NBA. Even during the rough week, Bledsoe still averaged 18.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 5.7 assists. His playing time and usage are stable, so Id look for Bledsoe to offer nice value Monday in that third tier of point guards, much like he did three weeks ago against these very Timberwolves (23 points, 53.3 FG%, 2 3-pointers, 3 steals, 10 assists and 6 rebounds).Joe Kaiser -- Bradley Beal, Washington WizardsThe Pacers continue to give up huge games to shooting guards, and right now, Beal is in the middle of one of his hot streaks. He scored 41 points against the Clippers on Sunday and is averaging 25.2 PPG in his last 10. Still reasonably priced, Beal has a good chance to shoot his way past his salary value against Indiana.Renee Miller -- Karl-Anthony Towns, Minnesota TimberwolvesOver the past five games, no team has allowed more fantasy points to opposing centers than the Suns. in addition, all the Timberwolves should enjoy more shooting and rebounding opportunities against the much faster-paced Suns. While Towns doesnt need the benefit of a good matchup to make him a good DFS play, it certainly doesnt hurt. Hes double-doubled in nine of his past 10 games and scored more than 40 real points twice in that span. The floor/ceiling combination, along with a slate where you can find plenty of miidrange value to slot in around him, makes Towns a perfect place to start your lineups.ddddddddddddPlayers to fadeKyle Soppe -- Dwight Howard, Atlanta HawksIn contrast to Bledsoe, Howards stock has been on the rise of late with three straight games of at least 15 rebounds. Thats all fine and dandy, but Im not paying up for him in this spot. Howard has averaged just 10 points (on 48.7 percent shooting) and 8.6 rebounds over the last two seasons (five games) against the Thunder, and with OKC ranking as a top-five team in terms of rebounding rate, Im not sure that Howards ceiling is as high as you might assume. I also have my concerns about Howard on the defensive end, as Enes Kanter has the ability to draw fouls and Steven Adams is an effort guy who will battle for boards and not give Howard many opportunities to block his shot. The offensive usage rate is a concern and, this just in ... Howard is still not a good free throw shooter. Im going cheap at center and stacking Suns on Monday.Joe Kaiser -- Tobias Harris, Detroit PistonsHarris has to post right around 27-28 DFS points to reach his salary value on Monday, and thats a mark he hasnt hit in his last six games. Even on a small five-game slate, like the one we have on Monday, there are better mid-priced power forwards to go with, such as Gorgui Dieng and Markieff Morris.Renee Miller -- Emmanuel Mudiay, Denver NuggetsEven though the Dallas Mavericks are playing the second game of a back-to-back Monday, they have still been the stingiest team in fantasy points allowed to opposing point guards. Mudiay played well against them a week or so ago but has demonstrated some head-scratchingly bad stat lines in much better matchups this month too. The risk is not worth the small reward you might get for using Mudiay on Monday. ' ' '
