Kevin Durant, SF/PF, Golden State Warriors

DraftKings Price: $8,800

If you're looking for a stud player with a strong floor this evening, look no further than Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant.

Golden State is just one game up on the Denver Nuggets in the race for the number one seed in the Western Conference. A win tonight would secure a win in the season series and put them in a solid position to secure their seeding. It's hard to see the Warriors resting anyone here, especially when their starters had an easy night in a 137-90 blowout win over the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday.

That means Durant should play, and he's been very consistent against the Nuggets in recent matchups. Durant has scored at least 45.0 DraftKings points in four straight and five of his past six against Denver, who did themselves no favors with an embarrassing home loss to the Washington Wizards the other night.

Our models like Durant to continue his success against the Nuggets, projecting him for 48.0 DraftKings points. That equates to a value of 5.45 DraftKings points per $1,000, our highest-projected value for any player over $6,500.
