Durant’s Stellar Week
Kevin Durant has been a key factor in the Suns’ recent success. Durant was recognized as the Western Conference Player of the Week after leading his team to a perfect 3-0 record in the span of three games. During that period, he averaged 27.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 6.3 assists, playing a significant role in shifting the momentum for the team as the playoff race intensifies.
Play-In Race Outlook

With the Dallas Mavericks closely trailing them, the Suns must continue their strong performance to secure a more certain playoff berth. Every game becomes increasingly critical as the postseason draws near.
Season Implications
Despite a challenging season overall, Kevin Durant has been a standout, delivering impressive averages of 26.6 points, 6.1 rebounds, 4.4 assists, and 1.2 blocks per game. His efficient shooting — 52.8% from the field and 41.7% from three-point range — has been vital for the Suns. With Durant in fine form and his teammates contributing consistently, the Suns look to capitalize on their momentum as they face the Bucks in their pursuit of improved standings and a stronger playoff position.
