Kevin Durant Has A Rough Shooting Night On Monday
4 years agoBrooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant scored a team-high 20 points on 6-for-21 shooting from the field and a miserable 3-for-12 shooting from deep on Monday during the win over the Miami Heat. However, he made amends by adding 13 boards, five assists, two blocks, and a steal. Although the former MVP had a rough night from an efficiency standpoint, he is still shooting a career-high 53.8 percent from the field and 47.5 percent from deep, so fantasy managers should give him a free pass. With at least 31 points in four of his previous five outings, Durant should remain starting in all fantasy formats, even if his shooting percentages begin to head south. Next up for the 32-year-old and the Nets will be a three-game road trip, with meetings against Atlanta, OKC, and Washington.

Kevin Durant, Suns Could Work Together On A Trade This Offseason
4 weeks agoAccording to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Suns and forward Kevin Durant could work together on a trade during the offseason. Charania added that this may not happen if the Suns make a "significant run" this postseason, assuming Phoenix makes it that far. If not, league sources believe both sides may work collectively to make a deal happen. The 36-year-old has played well this season, averaging 26.7 points, 5.9 boards, 1.3 blocks, and 40.1% shooting from behind the arc. But Phoenix has struggled over the last few seasons, so the team may look to rebuild around Devin Booker. There are teams that will have the cap space available to acquire the multi-time All-Star. But other clubs may not be interested for reasons outside of his abilities on the court.

Kevin Durant Remains Sidelined Saturday
