In 30 minutes on the court against the Portland Trailblazers, Kevin Durant went 11-for-13, including 4-for-5 from three-point range. He also managed to go 8-for-10 from free-throw range, and pulled down 11 rebounds. He also turned over the ball five times.

Fantasy Impact:

Kevin Durant put on a clinic at home against the Trailblazers. He went 5-for-6 from pull-up jumper range but also made shots from catch-and-shoot range (3-for-4) and he was perfect from less than ten feet. He mostly did it all himself. He attempted eight shots after dribbling the ball more than two times, and made nine shots after holding the ball longer than two seconds. But Portland made the fundamental error of leaving Durant open. He was 5-for-6 when defenders were more than four feet away. It isn't clear if it made a difference, as he was 6-for-7 when they were less than four feet away. This was one of those dream fantasy performances, but you can expect it'll happen again this season. Durant is the Warriors' number one weapon.
