On the court for 33 minutes in Thursday night's home win over Los Angeles, Kevin Durant went 8-for-15, including 4-for-6 from three-point range. He also pulled down 15 rebounds and contributed seven assists.
Fantasy Impact
Durant and Stephen Curry led the Warriors offense on Thursday night, with Klay Thompson relegated to a third-wheel role. Durant went 6-for-7 in the third quarter when the Warriors scored 50 points to overcome a double-digit deficit. It seems that when the games are tight, Durant and Curry will usually step to the forefront. When the games are easy, they take a backseat, allowing Klay Thompson to shine. However, Durant's contribution in the rebounds and assists ensures that he always delivers good value -- even when he is the second-highest scorer on the team.
