Oklahoma City Thunder superstar Kevin Durant will play against the Utah Jazz on Monday night.

Durant, who has been out with a strained left hamstring since Nov. 10, has missed six games, which the Thunder have split 3-3.

In Durant's absence, superstar teammate Russell Westbrook has averaged 32.7 points, 7.7 rebounds, 9.3 assists and 3.2 steals, and routinely made plays like this.

Initially, Durant was expected to miss only 7-10 days of action, but the Thunder have been cautious given his recurring foot issues, which forced him to play in only 27 games last season.
