Fantasy Impact
The 26-point effort came in another low-scoring contest for Houston, which hasn't topped 106 points in any of its last three games.

Fantasy Impact
Durant continues a solid stretch on the offensive end of the floor, scoring 13 or more points in each of his last five games. The veteran forward continues to provide head coach Ime Udoka with a stable offensive option as part of a versatile Houston starting five, averaging 25.9 points, 4.4 assists, and 5.3 rebounds per game while carrying a 26.1% usage rate so far this season.
Kevin Durant scored 31 points (11-21 FG, 3-4 3PT, 6-8 FT) with three rebounds, one assist and five steals in Thursday's 109-99 loss against the Charlotte Hornets.
Fantasy Impact
Durant was one of just two Houston players to finish in double figures Thursday, as the Rockets struggled to generate offense outside of him. He has now scored at least 30 points in two of his last four games and will look to carry that strong play into Saturday’s matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
