Kevin Durant-Oklahoma City Thunder (10,300): After a big 31-point, ten-rebound double-double on Saturday, Durant had 34 points, eight assists, and eight rebounds on his way to 58.6 fantasy points in Toronto.  He has at least 44 fantasy points in six of his last seven games, and he’s in a place to succeed again tonight since the Pistons don’t have any great matchups for him defensively. When the Pistons visited OKC earlier in the season, Durant had 34 points, 13 rebounds, five assists, and three blocks. Look for him to post another monster night tonight as long as he gets his usual minutes.∗∗∗∗

Paul George-Indiana Pacers (8,700): PG13 hasn’t quite been at the level of Durant, but he has been playing well lately.  His best game of March came against Durant and the Thunder when he had 45 points and 61.4 fantasy points. In his 13 games his month, George is averaging 23.7 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 2.0 steals.  He’s in a decent matchup tonight against the Bulls who he has had success against this year and the Pacers still have plenty to play for as they battle for the seven and eight seeds in the Eastern Conference. He isn’t as much of a lock to produce as Durant, but he is a solid option based on matchup and the urgency the Pacers need to have tonight. ∗∗∗

Nicolas Batum-Charlotte Hornets (7,800): Batum had a huge game agains the Bucks on Saturday with 25 points, eight assists, and seven rebounds powering him to 47.4 fantasy points. He has at least 30 fantasy points in eight of his last ten games with four games of at least 40 fantasy points. He is in a great matchup tonight against the Sixers, but he could play reduced minutes if the game turns ugly early. ∗∗

Robert Covington-Philadelphia 76ers (6,100): Covington has looked good in his three games back since a six-game absence with a concussion.  He has scored at least 16 points in each of his three games with at least nine rebounds helping him to get to 30+ fantasy points in each of those three contests.  I don’t love his matchup against Charlotte, but he’s going to have to carry a lot of the scoring load going forward, so 30 fantasy points a night should be a regular thing for him for the rest of the season. ∗∗∗
