What It Means:

This is likely a minor issue for Durant, but as heavy favorites at home, it wouldn't be a surprise to see the Warriors err on the extreme side of caution. If he sits, that would likely open up a start for Andre Iguodala or Omri Casspi while Nick Young and Draymond Green could pick up more minutes. Klay Thompson and Steph Curry would also probably see an uptick in usage.

KD is averaging 47.5 FanDuel points per game this season. Over the remainder of the year, numberFire's models project him to record 29.2 points, 9.2 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.1 steals, 1.5 blocks, and 1.4 3-pointers per game.
