Kevin Durant, SF, Golden State Warriors

Price: $11,700

With Stephen Curry (ankle) on the shelf, Kevin Durant has played a huge role for the Warriors, posting a 36.1% usage rate in 35.0 minutes per game without Curry, compared to a 29.2% usage rate in 34.5 minutes per game when Curry plays.

He's averaging a huge 60 FanDuel points per game without Curry, and while a mark that high may not be sustainable, the increased volume and production aren't exactly surprising. Looking at all 229 minutes Durant has played without Curry on the floor this year -- KD's usage rate sits at 33.1%, his assist rate is 32.6% and he averages 1.47 FanDuel points per minute in the split. That is compared to a 25.6% usage rate, 19.0% assist rate and 1.16 FanDuel points per minute with Curry on the floor.

Durant's price tag still doesn't quite reflect the huge role he plays without Curry, and he continues to be a terrific fantasy play tonight.
