The superstar posted 26 points, seven rebounds, seven assists, one steal, and one block on 9-for-16 shooting. His 25-point scoring streak survives another game even while the team welcomed back Kyrie Irving. Durant has been the definition of consistent so far this season and that doesn't seem like it will change any time soon.

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant notched another game of at least 25 points bringing his total to the same as Michael Jordan at 16 in a row. He seemed unstoppable all night long as he even hit 59.1% of his shots from the floor. In the team's win over the Portland Trail Blazers, the superstar registered 35 points, eight rebounds, three assists, and one block. He's the lone player on the Nets to actually post consistent top-level outputs so far this season. He's producing enough to be a top-12 fantasy asset.

Wed Nov 16 202211:08Kevin Durant Continues 25-Point Game Streak
Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant added another game of 25 points or more to start the season and is now just two games shy of Michael Jordan's mark of 16 consecutive games. In the team's loss on Tuesday, Durant finished the game with 27 points, four rebounds, six assists and one block while shooting 8-for-15 from the floor and a perfect 11-for-11 from the free-throw line. No one has ever doubted the scoring ability of one of the best forwards to play the game. His fantasy value was never in doubt either, but the Nets as a team are a different story.

Mon Nov 14 202209:47Kevin Durant Puts Up 31 Points In Sunday's Loss
Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant led the team with 31 points in Sunday's 116-103 loss to the Lakers, shooting 8-for-16 from the field and 13-for-15 at the foul line. He hit two three-point bombs with three attempts and added nine rebounds and seven assists to his tally with two blocks and three turnovers in 38 minutes. KD has now been able to go for 30-plus points seven times this season, although it's happened just twice in November despite Kyrie Irving sitting on the sidelines with a suspension. With the Nets having a losing record, Durant is forced to play heavy minutes and be as productive as he can, and fantasy managers who have the veteran star on their squad are currently in dreamland.

Tue Nov 1 202222:24Kevin Durant Posts Full Line Against Bulls

Durant has now scored at least 30 points in six of eight games to start the season as he fights for another scoring title. The Nets will try to figure out their head coach situation before their next game Friday against the Washington Wizards, but that situation should not have an affect on Durant.

Tue Nov 1 202208:49Kevin Durant Puts Up 36 Points Against Pacers
Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant was a bad man against the Pacers on Monday, completely dominating in a 116-109 win with 36 points. He shot a sweet 12-for-22 from the field with a 2-for-5 record from deep and almost pulled off a triple-double as well, finishing with nine rebounds and seven assists. KD had one steal and one block on the defensive end in 39 minutes of action. While some tend to pop up in the news for all the wrong reasons, Durant keeps his head down and quietly puts in work for Brooklyn, and he's had a spectacular start to the campaign at both ends of the court. The four-time scoring champ is averaging over 33 points per game while also getting 2.0 blocks and 1.0 steals.

Wed Oct 26 202223:25Kevin Durant Scores Team-High 33 Points On Wednesday
Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant scored a team-high 33 points during the loss to Milwaukee on Wednesday night. Durant struggled shooting the ball, going 10-for-23 from the field while making just one of his four attempts from deep. The 34-year-old hasn't fared well from behind the arc this season, shooting 33.3% heading into this one. However, Durant remains a productive scorer, and his ability on the defensive end, especially as a shot-blocker, is often overlooked.

Wed Oct 19 202223:49Kevin Durant Drops Game-High 32 Points Versus Pelicans
Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant finished with a game-high 32 points during the loss to the Pelicans. Although Kyrie Irving struggled shooting in this one, Durant did a little better, going 11-for-21 from the field while making two of his six tries from deep. He also got after it on the defensive end, amassing four blocks and a steal. Durant looked good on Wednesday night and appeared to be in midseason form. Fantasy managers will continue to get production out of him in all areas moving ahead as long as he remains healthy, which has been an issue over the years.

Tue Aug 23 202220:20Kevin Durant Rescinds Trade Request
Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant will remain with the team this season. Head coach Steve Nash, general manager Sean Marks, and governors Joe Tsai and Clara Wu Tsai met with Durant and his agent in Los Angeles. The meeting was productive, ultimately resulting in the 2014 MVP withdrawing his trade request. Kyrie Irving was already expected to play out the final year of his contract. However, with Durant staying with the Nets, it's nearly guaranteed Irving isn't going anywhere either. Nevertheless, with this situation now in the rearview mirror, fantasy managers can confidently select Durant during drafts heading into October. The 33-year-old is one of the best all-around fantasy producers, although his lack of durability is something for managers to consider.

Mon Aug 22 202219:01Grizzlies Interested In Acquiring Kevin Durant
The Memphis Grizzlies have expressed interest in acquiring forward Kevin Durant from Brooklyn. The Grizzlies have a plethora of first-round unprotected draft picks up for grabs. However, with the Nets looking to remain in the championship conversation, a deal centered around picks isn't enticing. Memphis is also reportedly unwilling to part ways with Jaren Jackson Jr. (foot), who will miss a few months due to foot surgery or rising star Desmond Bane. Nevertheless, Durant appears less likely to be moved as each day passes. The multi-time All-Star has four years and $198 million remaining on his current contract, which also continues to make things challenging.

Mon Aug 15 202220:34Kevin Durant Says He's Not Retiring
Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant announced on Twitter that he's not retiring. Durant's name has been in the news throughout most of the offseason, so the latest rumor shouldn't come as a surprise. While it's confirmed the multi-time All-Star isn't calling it quits, his future in Brooklyn still remains a mystery. However, no matter what uniform he's wearing, he has a strong chance to finish the year as a top-five fantasy option in all formats, assuming he stays healthy.

Tue Aug 9 202221:50Kevin Durant Training Camp Holdout A Possibility
Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant could consider a holdout during training camp if he's not traded by then, according to Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily Times. With governor Joseph Tsai openly supporting head coach Steve Nash and general manager Sean Marks, it appears less likely the multi-time All-Star will want to suit up for the Nets this season. However, with Brooklyn remaining firm on its hefty asking price, many teams around the league aren't as willing to make a deal, especially considering Durant's advanced NBA age. While Durant has proven to be one of the most impactful fantasy options over the years, managers may want to stay away from him until this situation is resolved.

Sat Aug 6 202213:07Kevin Durant Might Stay In Brooklyn
Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant might end up being stuck with the organization despite his trade request. Ian Begley reported that no other organization wants to get involved and help out the Nets. It would take a ridiculous amount of assets to obtain Durant in a trade. That being said, there would likely need to be three or possibly four teams involved. As of right now, it doesn't sound like any organizations want to get involved in this mess. Durant might end up sticking with the Nets unless something changes soon. It's unclear if he'll suit up for Brooklyn or sit out until a trade happens. Fantasy managers will have to wait until closer to the season before more information is known.

Tue Aug 2 202221:57Kevin Durant Expected To Meet With Joe Tsai
Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant is expected to meet with team governor Joe Tsai in the coming days. It's unknown what will be discussed or what will come from it. However, not only could it determine Durant's future in Brooklyn, but it could have ramifications for Kyrie Irving as well. The 33-year-old is coming off an MVP-caliber season, averaging 29.9 points, 7.4 rebounds and 6.4 assists. He also shot 38.3% from deep while draining 91.0% of his free throws. Without a doubt, Durant is the complete package and is capable of being a top-five fantasy producer in any format, no matter what uniform he wears in 2022-23. He does have trouble staying healthy, though, which is his only downfall as far as fantasy managers are concerned.

Tue Jul 26 202210:27Marcus Smart A Target For Nets In Kevin Durant Deal
Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart could be the key component to a trade that would send Kevin Durant from the Brooklyn Nets to Boston. ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski stated that the two teams have been discussing a Durant trade lately that would be based around Jaylen Brown, Derrick White and draft picks. However, the Nets have been asking for the Celtics to also include Smart and the Celtics appear to be unwilling to do so. The Celtics' willingness to deal Brown makes them one of the frontrunners to land Durant at this point, but the two sides still appear to be a ways away from landing a deal.

Mon Jul 25 202221:10Celtics Make Offer For Kevin Durant
Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant is on the Celtics' radar, with the C's reportedly offering a package for the superstar that included Jaylen Brown and Derrick White, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic. Yet, Brooklyn balked at the proposal and countered by requesting reigning Defensive Player of the Year Marcus Smart be added in White's place. While there appeared to be a chance Durant would stay in New York for the 2022-23 campaign, things could be heading in another direction. Nonetheless, it's unknown exactly how much Boston is willing to give up for the 33-year-old. However, no matter he ends up, he'll probably remain in the MVP conversation, at least for a few more seasons.

Wed Jul 20 202210:28Kevin Durant Trade Talks Slowing Down Substantially
The Brooklyn Nets have reportedly not been able to find the types of offers they would like to see in exchange for star forward Kevin Durant. As a result, according to ESPN's Brian Windhorst, "Trade talks involving Kevin Durant have slowed to a trickle." The Miami Heat and Golden State Warriors have been the main teams linked to a potential Durant trade, but there's been no indication that either team is willing to give up the type of package required to land the 33-year-old superstar. As of now, it looks likely that KD will be back in Brooklyn for a fourth season, despite his trade request about a month ago.

Tue Jul 19 202210:23Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving Believe That A Trade Is Unlikely
Despite all of the drama surrounding Brooklyn Nets stars Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving this summer, it's looking more and more likely that neither player will be traded. And according to a league source, both Durant and Irving have become aware of this reality. "They know behind the scenes that it's difficult, that it's unlikely to happen," the source said. It's been about three weeks since Durant requested a trade and there has yet to be much movement in terms of a team putting together an offer that would be close to what the Nets are looking for. Irving, meanwhile, has stated that he wants to be a Net. His name has come up often in trade rumors, but none of the rumors have gained any traction.

Tue Jul 12 202214:29Warriors Reluctant To Trade Young Assets For Kevin Durant
The Golden State Warriors have been one of the teams that has come up as a potential landing spot for star Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant. The trade package required to land Durant will of course need to be a big one. According to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, the Warriors are reluctant to include all of their young assets in a deal for Durant. These young assets include Jordan Poole, Jonathan Kuminga, James Wiseman and Moses Moody. As of now, there doesn't appear to be a clear frontrunner in the Durant sweepstakes. Expect more updates on the market for the superstar soon.

Mon Jul 4 202222:12Nets "Creating Outline" For Kevin Durant Trade Package
Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant could be on the roster longer than anticipated. According to ESPN senior NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski, the organization is "trying to create an outline" regarding the expectations for the clubs interested in making a move to acquire the former MVP. After Rudy Gobert was traded to Minnesota for a hefty amount of first-round draft picks, the Nets are commanding plenty in return. With the regular season not starting until October, Brooklyn is in the driver's seat and may wait things out in hopes of receiving the best offer possible. Currently, the Suns, Heat, Raptors, and Warriors are teams that have been involved in trade rumors surrounding the veteran, although certainly, anything can happen moving ahead. However, regardless of where Durant goes next, he should continue being one of the best fantasy options on the planet.
