Kevin Durant, SF/PF, Golden State Warriors

DraftKings Price: $9,400

If Victor Oladipo weren't sidelined, then using Kevin Durant tonight might be less obvious. Given his absence, however, the Indiana Pacers are all of a sudden lacking a star and stud defender, which clearly doesn't bode well for Indiana's chances this evening.

With an average of 49.8 DraftKings points per game this season, Durant is averaging the most points of any player on tonight's slate. His 27.9 points and 5.9 assists are the best numbers in his tenure with the Golden State Warriors, with the assists average representing the top mark of his career.

Durant has scored more than 45.0 DraftKings points in seven of his past eight contests against the Pacers, and our models don't see that changing tonight. We have him projected for 48.9 DraftKings points, the second-highest projected total this evening.
