The Top 5 Fantasy Basketball Assets So Far This Season

3. Kevin Durant, Golden State Warriors

There's quite a sizable gap here between three and four. Durant is the first of only three players with a fantasy rating at or beyond double-digits, with a value of 10.07 through 10 contests.

He's performed as advertised, contributing in multiple areas for the uptempo Warriors. He maintains an advantage of 0.60 or better in nearly every statistical category. The only one in which there is room for improvement is turnovers, for which Durant has a value of -0.79. Not too shabby for a guy with a 28.4% usage rate.

No matter the volume, KD is primarily a top-three player because of his efficient scoring. His 27.7 points per game provide him with a rating of 2.26, and in shooting 56.2% from the field, he ranks first in the league with a fantasy rating of 2.61 in the area of field goal percentage.
