3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 11/2/17
Playing huge minutes this season, Kevin Durant offers a ton of fantasy value against the Spurs. What other high-priced players should you target in daily fantasy on Thursday?

Kevin Durant, SF, Golden State Warriors

Price: $9,900

With the exception of a couple huge blowout wins for the Golden State Warriors, Kevin Durant has played north of 36 minutes in each game this season, averaging 38.1 per night in contests that ended with a score differential of less than 28. There's always going to be some blowout risk, but the Dubs aren't massive favorites tonight, sitting at -7 against the San Antonio Spurs.

His usage rate is also right around where it was last year (27.1%) to go with an 18.8% assist rate and 11.8% rebound rate. He's putting up Durant-ian scoring stats of 25.1 points, 7.7 boards, and 4.6 assists per 36 minutes.

With an above-average defensive rating and below-average pace, the Spurs aren't an especially good matchup. But Warriors still boast the day's highest implied total (111.5), and the potential for huge minutes makes Durant one of the day's top fantasy options.
