"Through 67 healthy contests for Houston, Durant has been averaging 25.7 points on .517/.408/.885 shooting splits, 5.4 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.9 blocks."
"After being squeezed from Ime Udoka's rotation last year, former No. 4 lottery pick Reed Sheppard was pressed into service this season out of necessity."
"The Rockets astoundingly opted not to improve the point guard position at the trade deadline, making Sheppard that much more crucial to their backcourt."
The Chicago Bulls are facing a disappointing season with only 12 games remaining. Fans are hoping for losses to improve draft positioning.

Kevin Durant is having an impressive season, aiming for his 12th All-NBA Team honor.
