COVID has been wreaking havoc on the NBA recently, and we have our first postponement of the season here. That has shortened this four-game slate into a three-game card, giving us a small player pool to work with.
As you probably know, I love short slates like this. Having just six teams in action allows you so much more time to zone in on these rosters and rotations, giving us an edge over the field. We also have numerous big players sitting with different ailments, which opens up even more value. With that in mind, let’s get started with the schedule and odds!

Kevin Durant (SF/PF – BKN): $11,600 DraftKings, $11,100 FanDuel
KD might be the greatest pure scorer in NBA history, and he’s showing why recently. Slender Man has at least 51 DraftKings points in four of his last five games, playing at least 38 minutes in all of those. If Durant keeps playing 38-42 minutes and taking 20-25 shots a night, he’s quite simply one of the best options in fantasy.
