Julius Randle, PF/C, Los Angeles Lakers

DraftKings Salary: $8,100

While the injuries certainly benefit Durant, Julius Randle also stands to gain, as he will no longer be defended by Draymond Green. Randle is coming off another monster double-double last night and is now averaging 42.7 DraftKings points over his past 10 games. Most importantly, he has averaged 33.3 minutes during that span. He's actually played quite well against Golden State in three previous meetings this year, but playing time has been an issue. He's averaged 35.4 DraftKings points in just 28.4 minutes during those games, so he should make the most of additional minutes tonight.

While the Warriors have been respectable against opposing bigs from a fantasy perspective, they are one of the league's worst defensive rebounding teams. They rank 27th in defensive rebounding rate, so Randle could have his way on the offensive glass. Randle ranks 12th in points scored via putbacks, so look for him to exploit their weakness.

This game easily has the highest over/under at 225.5 points, and Randle is the top option for the Los Angeles Lakers. Feel confident targeting him in all formats against a depleted Warriors squad.
