Nets' Kevin Durant expected to play in first back-to-back Wednesday
Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant is expected to play in his first back-to-back game of the season on Wednesday against the New York Knicks.
What It Means:
Durant has yet to play in a back-to-back since returning from his Achilles tear. His availability will limit Caris LeVert's upside, but LeVert should continue to see extra usage while Kyrie Irving (personal) is out. Durant is averaging 35.0 points, 10.0 rebounds, 8.5 assists, and 3.0 3-pointers over his last two contests. Tyler Johnson (health protocols) remains out.
numberFire’s models project KD for 46.6 FanDuel points versus the Knicks and he has a salary of $10,100 on Wednesday’s slate. Without Kyrie and Spencer Dinwiddie (ACL), Durant is averaging 1.5 FanDuel points per minute over 92 minutes, along with a 36.4 usage percentage.
