DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-January 10

High Salary SF

Kevin Durant-Golden State Warriors (9,800): Durant has been steady over the last week with 52.75, 54.75, and 56.25 fantasy points  in his last three games. He is a little higher-risk than some of the other five-figure options just because of the possiblity of blowouts or another of his teammates taking over the game. Durant is almost always good for 20+ points  but his non-scoring numbers can sometimes fluctuate depending on game situation.∗∗

Kawhi Leonard-San Antonio Spurs (7,900): Leonard has been quietly good all season and has been especially good lately with at least 42 fantasy points in five of his last seven games and ten of his last 14. Leonard only had 28.5 fantasy points on Saturday against Charlotte, but he should be primed for a bounce back night against the Bucks who allow the second-most fantasy points per game to opposing SF and have been crushed by scoring SF lately. ∗∗∗∗

Rudy Gay-Sacramento Kings (6,500): Gay has been solid in his two games since returning from an extended absence with a lingering hip injury. Gay had 18-7-1 for 28.75 fantasy points in his first game back, but he looked even stronger with 23-1-3 with two blocks and two steals for 35.75 fantasy points against the Warriors on Sunday. Tonight, he’s at home against he Pistons who allow the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing SF, but he’s still worth a look since he’s working back to a big role in the Kings offense which should, in theory, be a good fit for the flexibility of his multi-faceted game.∗∗
