In Tuesday night's win at home over the Toronto Raptors, Kevin Durant went 8-for-15, including 3-for-5 from three-point range. He also contributed seven assists, five blocks, and six turnovers.
Fantasy Impact:
It was a varied night for Durant, who found himself taking a back seat to Stephen Curry on offense. Still, he found a way to get it done for fantasy owners, exploding on defense to equal his season-best record for rebounds. It helped that Toronto only made 38 percent of its baskets, giving him plenty of opportunities to find the ball. Durant was looking like he might go on a tear in the first half when he shot 7-for-9, but slipped away in the second, when the Warriors had secured the win. He was 1-for-6 in the second half. He just couldn't find a rhythm, because the defense had him well covered in the second half where he went 0-for-5 in tight coverage (defenders <4 feet away). That said, even when he's less than his best, Durant is still a star.
