DFS Report:
Kevin Durant – Small Forward - ($10.1K) had over 50 fantasy points in six of the last ten games coming into Saturday and went well beyond that number in the Thunder’s win against Indiana by the time the night had ended. Durant only needs around 43 fantasy points to make value so, despite the high price tag, he’s typically worth every penny.
