NBA Daily Fantasy Helper: Saturday 11/10/18

If you're new to daily fantasy basketball -- maybe you started your DFS journey during the MLB or NFL seasons, or maybe basketball is your sport and this will be your first year giving it a shot -- you're in for a treat. The NBA scene changes hugely on a week-to-week, day-to-day, and -- depending on injury news -- even a minute-to-minute basis, making every slate a unique one that requires an ever-changing approach.

With so much changing so quickly, we're here with plenty of tools to help you out. We have daily projections, a matchup heat map, a lineup optimizer, and a ton of other great resources to help give you an edge.

We'll also be coming at you with this primer every day, breaking down a few of the day's top plays at each price point.

Let's take a look at who you should target on today's main slate, which starts at 8 p.m. EST.

Best of the Best

Kevin Durant ($11,200): In limited time this season without Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and Shaun Livingston (all whom are expected to miss Saturday's game against the Brooklyn Nets), Durant averages 2.08 fantasy points per minute and has a ridiculous 41.6% usage rate. If you want a deeper data dive, let's take a look at KD when those three have been off the court since 2017. In that split, Durant averages 1.58 fantasy points per minute and has a 40.4% usage rate. He's going to be leaned on heavily against the Nets.
