4. Kevin Durant

Last week’s ranking: 3

Durant continues to lead the league in scoring, but he hasn’t had the best week by his standards. Russell Westbrook is taking some of that shine away and the Thunder went 2-2 since the last edition of the rankings. He has filled up the stat sheet pretty much every game, but the two close losses to the Clippers and the Warriors, as well as a rather insignificant win against the Bucks, hurt his stock. However, fear not, Durant will almost certainly move up these rankings eventually.
