Kevin Durant : Oklahoma City Thunder
LAST WK: 25.3 ppg | 7.3 rpg | 93.1 FT%

All of the top players on this list have endured their share of mini-struggles since the All-Star break. But in our eyes, it's more about how they respond to adversity than anything else, and Durant rebounds from his struggles as well as anyone. He followed up an ugly 6-for-22 shooting performance in a loss to Utah Tuesday with a game-high 32 points in Oklahoma City's victory over the Clippers on Wednesday. He added nine rebounds, five assists, two steals and one blocked shot. He's been locked in a tight race for the top spot all season and can hold on to it with a strong finishing kick here in the final weeks of the season.
