Kevin Durant, Oklahoma City Thunder

Last week's ranking: No. 3

No team needed a signature win this week worse than Durant and his Thunder. And they delivered with Wednesday's 120-108 win over the Los Angeles Clippers. It wasn't the same as a win over the Golden State Warriors or San Antonio Spurs, but it's a start. Durant roasted the Clippers for 30 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists as he continued a wicked stretch that has seen him pile up points and rebounds (30.2 and 11.2, respectively, over his last five games) as well as turnovers (5.6 during that same stretch). Durant has scored at least 25 points, grabbed at least 10 rebounds and dished out at least seven assists in seven straight games heading into tonight's home game against Minnesota (8 ET, NBA League Pass).
