Kevin Durant's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant (ankle) is probable for the meeting with the Jazz on Friday night. The 36-year-old has been banged up a few times during the 2024-25 campaign, most recently missing the last three games because of a sprained ankle. But outside of that, he continues to play well, averaging 25.8 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks while shooting 44.9% from downtown. With Durant's anticipated return, Royce O'Neale, coming off a 16-point, seven-rebound effort versus Orlando on December 8, likely won't be as productive.

He tweaked his ankle in the first half and was ruled out shortly after. He recently returned from a seven-game absence because of a calf injury, so fantasy managers could see him miss more time. If that's the case, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal should pick up some of the slack on the scoring end. Royce O'Neale, averaging 11.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 1.0 steals in two starts this season, may take Durant's spot in the rotation until he's ready to return.

According to Phoenix Suns head coach Mike Budenholzer, forward Kevin Durant (calf) is expected to play in Wednesday's meeting with the Nets. The veteran returned for Tuesday's win over the Lakers after missing seven games because of a calf injury. He played well, scoring 23 points in 30 minutes. With that in mind, there's a good chance Durant may play less than he did on Tuesday, especially if the Suns build a big lead. Still, he's a must-start in redraft formats, although DFS managers may want to play if safe and consider other options.

While Durant is a lock for redraft formats, DFS managers may want to pump the brakes until he proves he's ready for his pre-injury workload.
