Kevin Durant, SF, Golden State Warriors

Price: $10,400

Leading the Golden State Warriors with 35.2 minutes per game this year, Kevin Durant's 47.0 FanDuel points per game are also good for tops on the team.

His 26.9% usage rate does trail slightly behind Stephen Curry's, but he's made that up with strong peripheral numbers (19.5% assist rate, 12.0% rebound rate, 3.0% block rate) and big minutes. That ability to fill up every area of the stat-sheet has also made him a consistent fantasy producer, with at least 43 FanDuel points in all but two of his 11 games to start the season.

That floor is especially interesting considering that five of those games were blowouts decided by at least 15 points, which means that the blowout risk involved tonight as 10-point favorites against the Minnesota Timberwolves isn't as concerning as it may be for some other players.

The Wolves rank a lowly 24th in defensive rating this season, and Golden State's offense should have no trouble clicking in this one, with an implied total (120.0) that's over 10 points higher than any other team on the schedule.
