Durant overtakes Westbrook in rest-of-season fantasy rankings
These rankings are based on season-long rotisserie formats. That means players who excel in one or two categories will be ranked higher and those who fail miserably in percentages will be ranked lower than they would be in a points system. So a 3-point specialist like J.R. Smith gets a bump, while a young star […]
