4 years agoBrooklyn Nets small/power forward Kevin Durant has been bumped back into the starting five for Saturday's contest versus the Lakers. Durant went a perfect 5-for-5 from the floor en route to a 17-point showing in his first game back Wednesday. He will remain on a minutes limit when facing L.A., which figures to cut into his DFS appeal, but his tremendous output across the stat sheet still keeps him in the upper-tier of season-long options. His return likely affects Jeff Green and Blake Griffin's respective upsides the most drastically, while other ancillary pieces for Brooklyn may begin to cede shots to the All-Star.--Jesse Borek
