Kevin Durant, SF, Golden State Warriors

FanDuel Price: $9,900

It's starting to look like Kevin Durant is the top option in the Golden State Warriors' offense. His usage rate (28.6%) isn't far off of Steph Curry's (29.8%), and Durant has posted the higher usage rate in two of the last three games. Durant is also playing more minutes (35.0 to 32.4) and attempting more field goals (18.4 to 17.8) per game than Curry.

Durant is averaging 30.6 points, 8.6 rebounds, and a strong 51.6 FanDuel points per game this season. Even on the second half of a back-to-back, he has a ton of upside tonight against the Los Angeles Lakers, who allowed the league's second-most fantasy points to opposing small forwards last season while posting the league's worst defensive rating.

The Warriors have by far the highest implied total of the night (118.5), and while Durant might not play much in the fourth quarter of a blowout, that would mean that the Warriors' starters had already put up a big game, and Durant is more than efficient enough to turn in a strong fantasy performance in a game like that.
