Scores 11 points in limited action 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.

Impact Durant endured a relatively quiet performance in Houston's preseason finale, and fantasy managers shouldn't be overly alarmed because 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 when the season kicks in alongside star big man Alperen Sengun.
