Kevin Durant, SF, Oklahoma City Thunder

Price: $10,700

Kevin Durant also stands to benefit in a big way from the appealing Thunder/Rockets matchup. Again, the game has the highest over/under on the slate, at 222, and both teams rank in the top 10 in Pace.

Durant is averaging 28.7 points, 9.4 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game over the past month, good for the second-most FanDuel points in the league, at 50.0 per game.

The Rockets have been very poor defensively this season, and they rank 24th with a 108.6 Defensive Efficiency, while allowing the 5th-highest Effective Field Goal Percentage to opponents. Especially encouraging for Durant is that they allow the second-most fantasy points per game to opposing small forwards.

Durant has a 32.0 percent Usage Rate and is averaging 19.3 field goal attempts per game on the month. The weak Rockets defense is going to have their hands full, and our projections have Durant putting up the second-highest fantasy total of the night.
