Kevin Durant, SF/PF, Golden State Warriors

DraftKings Salary: $9,000

Kevin Durant's price has dropped to a laughable $9,000, the lowest it has been all season. He needs 45 DraftKings points at this price, which he has accomplished in 57.9% of his games this season.

He shouldn't have any issue reaching that number in an uptempo matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans. Both New Orleans and the Golden State Warriors rank in the top-seven in pace, while the Pelicans rank 20th in defensive efficiency. As a result, the over/under in this one is set at 226 points, the second-highest on the slate, while the Warriors have the second-highest implied team total.

Durant put up 50 DraftKings points in his only other meeting with the Pels this season, and New Orleans really just doesn't have anyone with the length or ability to slow him down. Ultimately, it is all about the price tag here, as Durant comes in $1,400 cheaper on DraftKings than on FanDuel. He is a viable play in all formats.
