Kevin Durant, SF, Golden State Warriors

Price: $10,700

With Stephen Curry (knee) missing the rest of the regular season, Kevin Durant offers a ton of fantasy upside to close out the year.

Durant has averaged 51.6 FanDuel points per game in 20 contests without Curry this year, compared to 45.3 per game when Curry plays. Looking at all the minutes he has played with Curry on and off the court this year, he also sees a significant jump in usage rate (29.7% to 33.9%) and FanDuel points per minute (1.29 to 1.49).

OKC does make for a tough matchup -- particularly for forwards -- but Durant's numbers with Curry out of the lineup are what you'd expect to see from a guy priced up in the mid to high $11,000's. And, tonight, he's available at enough of a discount that the matchup shouldn't be enough to scare you off him.
