There are five games on Thursdays NBA slate. Heres a look at the players our daily fantasy experts are looking to build around, and others they are going to avoid.Players to build aroundRenee Miller -- Kevin Durant, Golden State Warriors:I would have expected Durant to be the unanimous pick here, thanks to his consistently high level of performance with Golden State, the astronomical point total on this game (226), and oh yeah, hes facing his old team. Revenge isnt reason enough to lock Durant into lineups tonight, but in combination with the quantitative factors, it doesnt hurt.On paper, Oklahoma City is a badass defensive team, allowing just 88 points per 100 possessions (No. 1 in the league right now), but consider that theyve faced three of the worst teams in their four games. Golden State should roll tonight, and Durant should be a huge part of it.Joe Kaiser -- Zach LaVine, Minnesota Timberwolves:LaVine put up 31 points in 29 minutes against Memphis on Tuesday, taking 18 shots in Minnesotas first full game without Ricky Rubio. While rookie point guard Kris Dunn continues to generate more buzz as Rubios fill-in, LaVine is the one I like more from a fantasy perspective and his salary is still very reasonable heading into tonights game against Denver. A LaVine-Klay Thompson pairing at shooting guard allows you to pay up at other positions.Greg Rosenstein -- Russell Westbrook, Oklahoma City Thunder:Lets be real here. No matter what the cost, Westbrook is worth it tonight. Sure, the Thunder guard is averaging nearly 38 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds a contest thus far. Thats all well and good. But Im taking him for the ulterior motives as much as him being a monster stat-stuffer.Westbrook claims hes treating this game like any other, but we all know thats untrue. Hes entering tonights matchup in Oakland against former teammate Kevin Durant with vengeance, and I cant wait to see what hell do.Players to fadeRenee Miller -- LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers:Not only is James likely to be both heartbroken and exhausted after the World Series finale last night, hes facing a Boston team that doesnt give up much to opposing wings. James wont kill your lineup, but dollar for dollar, Durant or Paul George make much better pricey plays at this position tonight if youre looking for the 60-plus point ceiling.Joe Kaiser -- Danilo Gallinari, Denver Nuggets:Gallinari is off to a cold shooting start this season and hasnt reached 31 DFS points on DraftKings or FanDuel in any of the Nuggets three games, and his salary continues to be too high to consider him. Also, Minnesota ranks sixth in defensive efficiency, allowing only 98.4 points per 100 possessions.Greg Rosenstein -- Nikola Jokic, Denver Nuggets:Im as big of a fan of Jokic in fantasy as they come, but I dont see him putting up a major performance against the Timberwolves tonight on the road. Minnesota has bolstered its defensive prowess under new coach Tom Thibodeau, ranking sixth in the league in defensive efficiency.The Timberwolves have been especially good in the frontcourt as they have?limited early production from power forwards. Buy Jokic for the season, but just not in this particular matchup.Vans Store Near Me .
