Kevin Durant
Phoenix Suns • #35 • PF
- Durant recorded 27 points (7-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 9-9 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 39 minutes during Tuesday’s 119-117 victory over the Kings.Durant has reached the 20-point mark in four of his last five appearances following his three-game absence due to a hamstring problem. The star forward continues to be a productive scorer despite sharing the ball with two other stars in Devin Booker and Bradley Beal. Durant has been extremely efficient as well, making 51.2 percent of his shots in that five-game stretch.
- Suns’ Jusuf Nurkic: Records another double-double Rotowire Nurkic contributed 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-2 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists and one block over 27 minutes during Tuesday’s 119-117 victory over Sacramento.Nurkic has been a steady presence down low for the Suns and has started every game outside of the two contests he missed in December due to personal reasons. He has five double-doubles over his last 10 games, averaging 13.5 points and 11.2 rebounds per game in that span.
- Suns’ Grayson Allen: Drains nine threes Tuesday Rotowire Allen finished Tuesday’s 119-117 victory over Sacramento with 29 points (10-17 FG, 9-14 3Pt), five rebounds, six assists, two blocks and two steals over 37 minutes.Allen scored 20 or more points in back-to-back games for the first time this season. Relying on him to do that often doesn’t seem like a realistic idea given he shares the court with names such as Devin Booker, Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal, but he’ll get a fair share of touches as long as he keeps shooting the ball like this. Allen is making 53.3 percent of his three-point shots since the start of January.
