Last night was a tough night for those that had Kevin Durant in their lineups. Durant’s injury forced him to leave the game with -.50 FP, which crushed the hopes of many DFS players. The Warriors couldn’t shake it off either, losing to 112-108 to the Wizards. But that’s the cost of doing business in daily fantasy sports — injuries are part of the game. Marcus Morris and Julius Randle were the surprises of the night and if you had them in your lineup you likely finished in the cash. Tonight the NBA offers up an 11-game slate including a fun matchup between James Harden’s Rockets and CP3, Blake Griffin and the Clippers, plus Wall and the Wiz and Bron and the Cavs are back on the court. A big slate means a whole lot of options, so let’s take a look at them to help you make your best DraftKings NBA lineup.
