Durant had 25 points (8-18 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 8-9 FT), four rebounds and five assists across 42 minutes during Friday's 126-109 loss to Minnesota in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
EDGE Analysis
Durant bounced back from a subpar showing in Game 2, at least for his lofty standards, and he had a strong showing in Game 3, but once again, his contributions were not enough to lift the Suns to victory as Phoenix fell into an 0-3 deficit. Durant will need to be at his best if the Suns want to avoid the sweep in Game 4 on Sunday. He's averaging 24.7 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game in the series.

Durant ended with 31 points (11-17 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 7-9 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 39 minutes during Saturday's 120-95 loss to Minnesota in Game 1 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.
EDGE Analysis
Durant led all Suns players in scoring and free throws made while hauling in a team-best rebound total and connecting on a pair of threes to pace Phoenix offensively in a Game 1 loss in the first round of the playoffs. Durant posted his first 30-point outing since last doing so April 3 during the regular season, notching at least 20 points and five boards in three of his final seven regular-season outings.

Durant chipped in 28 points (11-20 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds and three assists across 42 minutes during Friday's 108-107 victory over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Although Durant didn't play a huge part in the fourth -quarter rally that brought Phoenix back into contention, he kept the team relevant with 18 of his 28 points during a disappointing first half for the rest of the team. The Suns will lean on Durant and Devin Booker in the final regular-season game against Minnesota, as a win will vault them into the last guaranteed playoff spot.

Durant ended with 21 points (8-22 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-5 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals across 40 minutes during Tuesday's 105-92 loss to the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
When the Suns' high scorer manages only 21 points, it's usually a bad sign. While Durant's night wasn't as bad as Devin Booker's awful result, the former also experienced some trouble finding the bottom of the basket. He shot 36.3 percent from the floor, mimicking his result from the loss to the Pelicans on Wednesday.

Durant provided 23 points (8-22 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and six assists across 38 minutes during Sunday's 113-105 loss to New Orleans.
EDGE Analysis
Durant's stat line looks decent at first glance, but the fact that he needed 22 shots to score 23 points is uncharacteristic. Durant has reached the 20-point mark in eight consecutive appearances and will aim to keep that streak going against the Clippers on Tuesday.

Durant totaled 32 points (13-23 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 122-101 victory over the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
Durant and Devin Booker scored over 30 points in the same game, which has only occurred twice this season. While Durant is averaging 27.5 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 5.2 assists this season, the Suns need more nights like Wednesday's performance if the Suns hope to make headway in the playoffs. It's time for the Suns to deliver on their potential, and it'll be up to Durant to shoulder his load alongside Booker and Bradley Beal.

Durant contributed 26 points (10-17 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 31 minutes during Friday's 128-103 loss to Oklahoma City.
EDGE Analysis
Durant was the only player who delivered a solid performance for the Suns on Friday, leading the team in scoring despite the fact that Phoenix lost by 25 points. Durant continues to rise to the occasion every time the Suns need him, and the star forward is averaging 23.2 points, 7.1 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.5 blocks per game over his last 10 contests.

Durant ended with 30 points (12-20 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists and five blocks over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 104-97 win over Denver.
EDGE Analysis
The Suns were able to flip the script after a bad loss to the Spurs. Despite the embarrassing result Monday evening, Durant has had a trio of excellent lines after some modest regression at certain points in March. Every win counts for the Suns as they strive to avoid a Play-In game, so expect elite numbers for Durant as the team navigates the league's most difficult remaining schedule.

Durant racked up 29 points (12-17 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Monday's 104-102 loss to the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
Durant carved up San Antonio, although he delivered just five points in the final 16 minutes of Monday's game. His most notable miss came in the form of a game-winning three-point attempt, rimming out and snapping the Suns' three-game winning streak. Interestingly, Phoenix owns a mediocre 14-13 record in games when Durant scores at least 29 points.

Durant recorded 25 points (12-16 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists and three steals over 31 minutes during Saturday's 131-106 victory over the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
Durant has been extremely efficient this season, but Saturday's game was on a completely different level, as he missed just four shots from the field while also being the primary defender on Victor Wembanyama. Having to split the offensive duties with Bradley Beal and Devin Booker has resulted in a slight decrease in Durant's scoring numbers compared to previous seasons. Still, he remains a highly effective offensive weapon. On the season, Durant is averaging 27.5 points per game while shooting 52.6 percent from the field and 41.4 percent from beyond the arc.
