2. Kevin Durant, Oklahoma City Thunder

Last week: 2

Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder were also victims of the Blazers this week. Just like George, KD had a decent game, dropping 33 points in Portland, but had zero assists and his team fell short. Still, he started the week off by dropping a triple-double on the Timberwolves last Sunday and is averaging 30.3 points per game in December.
