Monday’s 11-game NBA slate looks like it is going to be one of those nights where you need to watch the newswire like a hawk and be very flexible with your lineup construction in the hours leading up to tipoff. There are numerous situations where a key player is questionable as of Monday morning. A few of the situations to monitor include Anthony Davis, Joel Embiid, Al Horford, Jamaal Murray, and Deandre Ayton. So, use my Monday DraftKings lineup advice with caution as things could change fast depending on the status of those players.

Note that some of the stats referenced in this article are my custom DvP calculations that combine both season and last five games data along with blending similar positions production allowed together.

Kevin Durant (SF/PF – GS): $10,100 vs. MIN
Durant’s salary has come down some now that Stephen Curry has returned for the Warriors. Durant put up a dud in his last outing but had a good game against Monday’s opponent, the Timberwolves, earlier this season with 33 points and 13 rebounds for 56.8 DraftKings points. That is not surprising, as the Timberwolves have been destroyed by opposing SFs this season allowing a double-digit percent increase in points (+11.2%), rebounds (+14.5%) and assists (+16.8%). Look for a big bounce-back effort from Durant.
