Durant scores 33 points but it’s not enough
Kevin Durant finished Wednesday’s 121-113 loss to Minnesota with 33 points (13-of-19 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), two rebounds, seven assists, two steals, four blocks, and four 3-pointers in 40 minutes. Durant, who was initially questionable for Wednesday’s game with a left thumb injury, ultimately played and matched Anthony Edwards’ point total. That wasn’t enough to get Phoenix the victory, but fantasy managers were likely pleased with KD’s overall stat line. Over the past two weeks, Durant has been a top-10 player in 8- and 9-cat formats. Phoenix hits the road for a Friday/Saturday back-to-back to end Week 14, beginning with the Warriors on Friday.
Curry lights up Thunder
Stephen Curry lit up the Thunder with 21 points (6-of-15 FGs), one rebound, four assists, one steal and five 3-pointers on Wednesday. The first half didn’t go Steph’s way, and he entered the break with just four points on 1-of-7 shooting. However, he was able to get things going in the second half, which contributed to the Warriors’ win. Curry really struggled against the Lakers on Saturday and went scoreless in the second half of the game. He flipped the script in this one, though his line still ended up being below his standards. They only have one more game this week, which will be against the Suns on Friday.
