Fantasy Impact

Durant scored 30.0 points in the Suns’ loss to the Raptors, making this his sixth-consecutive game scoring at least 30.0 points. Although it wasn’t an efficient shooting night, he continued to demonstrate his elite status as one of the league’s most potent offensive weapons. Although he is a must-start asset in all season-long leagues, his deployment may be more nuanced when considering him in daily formats. Durant is expensive and could be prone to playing more toward his production floor than his ceiling. Miscalculating when he may do one over the other could lead to production inefficiencies in your lineup. Do your due diligence and do your best reading the “tea leaves” so you can play this superstar when he can be super. Durant has a usage rate of 31.7 percent, a plus-minus of 4.8, and is averaging 36.8 minutes, 31.3 points, 6.9 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 0.8 steals, and 1.1 blocks per game while shooting 51.8 percent from the floor and 49.3 percent from beyond the arc.
