Durant posted 23 points (6-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 10-10 FT), 12 rebounds, eight assists and one block in 36 minutes during Monday's 110-100 win over Denver.
Durant was two assists shy of a triple-double while recording his second straight double-double. Monday also marked consecutive games with 10 or more free throw attempts for the 38-year-old, as he continues to provide multi-category production at an elite level in his 19th NBA season. Durant is averaging career lows in scoring and field goal attempts, but he's still one of the primary reasons Houston is off to an 8-3 start in 2026-27.

Rockets' Kevin Durant: Scores 21 despite shooting woes
Rotowire
Durant posted 21 points (5-14 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 10-11 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and a steal across 38 minutes in Saturday's 102-99 loss to the Suns.
Durant struggled from the field against his former team, but his 10 made free throws and double-digit rebounds helped preserve a productive fantasy outing. Any player can have an off shooting night, but Durant found a way to stay relevant and even finished with a double-double, so fantasy managers shouldn't focus too much on his shooting woes, as they're not a consistent issue to begin with. Durant remains a dependable high-volume option despite occasional shooting struggles.

Rockets' Kevin Durant: Low usage in win
Rotowire
Durant totaled 12 points (5-6 FG, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals across 33 minutes during Monday's 109-93 win over the Celtics.
Durant was nearly flawless from the field but attempted only six shots as Alperen Sengun took charge of Houston's offense with 26 points and 10 assists. Despite the limited scoring opportunities, Durant salvaged some fantasy value with three defensive contributions. His unusually low shot volume is worth monitoring, though he remains a reliable offensive option in Houston's crowded rotation.

Rockets' Kevin Durant: Leads Houston in scoring Friday
Rotowire
Durant finished with 28 points (9-20 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 9-13 FT), five rebounds and one assist over 37 minutes in Friday's 116-111 loss to Dallas.
With Alperen Sengun (back) sidelined for the second consecutive contest, Durant was more involved offensively than usual, ending the night with a season-high 20 shot attempts. While the 38-year-old was inefficient from deep Friday, that should be considered an isolated incident, as he has shot 42.3 percent from behind the arc in his first six appearances of the 2026-27 campaign.

Rockets' Kevin Durant: Tallies efficient 18 points
Rotowire
Durant contributed 18 points (5-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds, four assists and three blocks in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 132-100 victory over the Bucks.
Even with Alperen Sengun sitting out with a back issue, Durant didn't see a noticeable boost. The 38-year-old Durant has looked spry in the early going, putting up at least 18 points, four rebounds and two assists in each of his first five appearances.
Rockets' Kevin Durant: Drops team-high 22 in Atlanta
Rotowire
Durant ended Saturday's 121-114 win over the Hawks with 22 points (8-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one block across 37 minutes.
The 22 points led the Rockets on the night, but the team used very balanced scoring to secure the road win -- all five starters scored at least 14 points, and Tari Eason dropped 19 off the bench as well. Durant is looking a little more comfortable to begin his second season with Houston, scoring at least 20 points in all three games so far and averaging 24.0 points, 5.7 boards, 3.7 assists and 2.3 threes while shooting what would be a career-high 56.1 percent from the floor and 53.8 percent (7-for-13) from three-point range.
Durant finished with 30 points (10-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-11 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 128-110 win over the Mavericks.
Durant delivered an efficient shooting performance from the floor and got to the charity stripe frequently en route to a game-high-tying 30 points. The veteran forward provided a well-rounded effort, as he contributed on the glass and chipped in two combined steals-plus-blocks. The 38-year-old did commit four turnovers Wednesday, and he's averaged at least 3.1 giveaways in each of his past six seasons.
Rockets' Kevin Durant: Scores 11 points in limited action
Rotowire
Durant recorded 11 points (4-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and an assist across 16 minutes in Thursday's 116-89 preseason win over the Thunder.
Durant endured a relatively quiet performance in Houston's preseason finale, but fantasy managers shouldn't be overly alarmed that he missed all four of his three-pointers. The veteran forward should be just fine for the start of the regular season Oct. 21 against the Mavericks. Durant remains a high-end fantasy scoring option despite the underwhelming preseason outing, and he should be one of the team's go-to options alongside star big man Alperen Sengun when the season kicks off.

Rockets' Kevin Durant: Good to go Thursday
Rotowire
Durant (not injury related) will play in Thursday's preseason game against the Thunder, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
The veteran forward will return to action after sitting out Sunday's loss to the Mavericks. According to Guillory, head coach Ime Udoka said Durant and the rest of the Rockets' starting five are expected to play about one half of the team's preseason finale.
