High Salary SF

Kevin Durant-Oklahoma City Thunder (10,600): Durant rested in Tuesday’s loss to Detroit, but he’ll be back tonight as the Thunder host the Clippers. LA is not playing its starters, so the game could get out of hand early. However, Druant has been so consistent with 20 points in every game dating back to last November when he was forced to leave  game early with injury (in Washington, remember the burn??). In March, Durant has averaged 28.2 points, 9.1 rebounds, and 6.6 assists.  The only reason I don’t have him rated with more confidence is that I’m not sure how close the game will be or if he’ll play a reduced workload as a result. 

LeBron James-Cleveland Cavaliers (10,100): LeBron and the Cavs will be out to get revenge for the loss they took from Brooklyn a week ago as they host the Nets tonight. In that game, LeBron had 30 points to go with six rebounds, five assists, and a steal for a solid 42.7 fantasy points, but he came out to “do more” as he put it against the Knicks on Saturday with 27 points, 11 boards, and 11 assists powering him to 60.7 fantasy points. He took the night off Tuesday, but he’ll be back tonight and I expect a full “Playoff-LeBron” performance with James chipping in good numbers in multiple categories.
