4 years agoBrooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (rest) will not play against the Grizzlies on Monday night. Durant has raced out of the gate, averaging 26.7 points per game on red-hot 53.2/69.2/84 percent shooting splits, though Brooklyn wants to be careful with their star in his return from the Achilles injury. It will be interesting to see how the team handles back-to-backs regarding Durant for the rest of the season, though fantasy managers likely don't need to be worried. In Durant's absence, look for Kyrie Irving and Caris Levert to shoulder larger portions of the scoring load against Memphis.--Tim Capurso
