Is 36 year old Durant going to play 5 games in 7 days including 2 back to backs?

Will be very interesting to see how many he ends up playing. Second back to back is home against two lottery teams (Utah and Charlotte) and the first back to back involves Charlotte as well. Depending on game situation, he could be rested early eliminating the need to miss games depending on how they stagger rotations.

The only "pro" for this is that they desperately need wins and that he's actually only missed games to injury so far this season.
The cons are his age, injury history and that having all of Booker, Beal and Durant actually fit for once means it's the time that resting one of them makes sense and Durant is the one who hasn't had a rest in a while compared to the other two.
He probably plays at least 4 and there's not a lot of good 4-4 options anyway so even if you look at it as a 4-3 trade in, not the worst.
Crazy week for me, felt like a dud but was 15th for the week. I guess Maxey (not great) and Williams (bad) are fairly common but still basically my most unique players that let me down this week. I guess I owe Bron one as he was my only unique guy who did well and that must have been enough to make up for the others.
Naturally it was the guys I'm trading that lost money
Very positive shock of the "rookies that might play" option with Christie and Ware the past few weeks working shockingly well. Christie up 1.5m and Ware 1.2m, both with excellent BE this week as well, both go north of 2m if they hit their projections, both plausible as well.
Definitely struggling with trades. Tatum and JayWill both headed out. Think I'll trade LeBron but definitely tempted to cash Sarr or trade Braun also, watching for any update on Towns, if he's playing then he stays in for sure, if he's out then probably have to trade but will be chasing further information for sure.
Long list of trade in targets includes Giannis, Durant, Booker, Russell, Simons, Edwards, Randle, PG13, Haliburton, Cunningham, Westbrook, Sensabaugh and Keon Johnson. Think that's it, now to narrow to three
Really I'm just trying to be looking forward to that round 13 cluster that's incoming and plan as best I can, that is an absolute nightmare round, literally Portland the only team with a 4 in 12 and 13. Boston, Charlotte, Cleveland, Dallas and Utah the only teams with 4 in 13 and 14, not a lot of great options on those teams, basically have injury prone or sub-premium options with an extra game decisions.

Slowly creeping up the Ranking, I'm pleased with that, and winning 7 out of 9 games.
Trades this week are looking like:
OUT - Derrick White, Jonathan Kuminga & Jayson Tatum
IN - Giannis Antetokounmpo, Coby White & Deni Avdija
That will leave me with $58,000, and all players have four games this week.
Based on reports, K. Towns' injury does not appear to be serious, particularly if he is considered a game-time decision. I am willing to accept him missing one game.

1282 all out which I was pretty happy with! Keeps me in the Top 50. This week Edey to Ware was an easy start. Then I’m thinking I’ll upgrade Tatum on 3 to Giannis on 4 and G. Mathews to Dunn (who’ll likely start for me over Sarr). It’ll end up looking like this… I was going to go Bridges/Braun to Westbrook but I think it’s a sideways trade with all on 4 and similarly priced.
Disappointing showing from Knecht and Pritchard, and having OG over Hart has been such a big loss over the past few weeks, though he was out of my reach by ~$1mil at the time.
OUT: JDub, Knecht, Pritchard
IN: KD, Dunn, Westbrook
Under $1mil ITB going into a new round for the first time, by an extra long shot... But I've toyed with multiple options and this seems to be the best chance of maintaining rank. Still have one more boost handy, so I'm not too phased.
Have no time to come up with any "KAT out" contingency plan, so good luck to us all!
