Oklahoma City Thunder Daily Fantasy Value, Betting Report – Feb 19: Kevin Durant
The Oklahoma City Thunder daily fantasy value and betting report as we enter into the second half of the 2015 NBA season is examined by Gambling911.com, the official sponsor of the first ever Daily Fantasy Sports Expo in Miami Beach. This is just one of the many new additions to the Gambling911.com site to compliment the second half of the season that we hope will make you a winner whether you’re betting on games or playing daily fantasy NBA.
The Thunder is struggling to stay above the .500 mark, though they have won 6 of their last 7 and play much better at home (16-8 Straight Up).
In the last game, Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant accounted for most of the scoring, rebounds and assists, helping to further cushion their fantasy results. This was true of the previous game against Denver with Mitch McGary contributing off the bench as well.
Upcoming games will be against Dallas, then a road game in Charlotte, followed by two home games against Denver and Indiana, then off to Phoenix.
Here are your projected salaries and target fantasy points to make value (vary between sites):
Andre Robertson (SG) $3K – 18 fantasy points
Russell Westbrook (PG) $10.6K – 42 fantasy points
Serge Ibalka (PF) $7K – 35 fantasy points
Kevin Durant (SF) $10.3K – 41 fantasy points
It goes without saying we will only be honing in on Westbrook and Durant for these next five games.
Kevin Durant – He was outstanding the last time he faced off against Denver, racking up over 45 fantasy points. The same occurred against Indiana. The Phoenix game went into overtime and Durant went ballistic.
Durant was out against both Dallas and Charlotte, but you get the picture. He can play against the best of them and make value, especially teams like Phoenix where the offense will be hot.
Dallas – Go
Charlotte – Neutral/Hold
Denver – Go
Indiana – Go
Phoenix – Strong Go
Russell Westbrook – He easily made value against Dallas the last time facing the Mavs. While he scored 29 points against Charlotte, Westbrook is especially turnover prone and this brought his fantasy performance below value. The Hornets are an especially hard team to go up against as they play at the eighth-slowest pace and have held their opponents to the third-fewest points per game.
He made value against Denver but had difficulties versus both Indiana and Phoenix. The Pacers Have held opponents to the seventh-fewest point per game this season (97.3)
Dallas – Go
Charlotte – Hold
Denver – Go
Indiana – Hold
Phoenix – Hold
