Currently, he ranks 14th all-time in free throw percentage (88.48%) and came into the night shooting 94.3% (which ranks sixth in the league).

He has been one of the most consistent players in the league to start the season.

On Friday night, they showed dominance when they crushed the Washington Wizards by a score of 128-86 (42-point win).

Durant had 28 points, nine rebounds and 11 assists in the big win.

As for the Hornets, they also entered the night with a 3-6 record, and they are in the middle of a three-game losing streak.

LaMelo Ball has missed their first ten games of the season due to an ankle sprain (he's also been ruled out for this game).

He is their best player and averaged 20.1 points, 6.7 rebounds and 7.6 assists per contest last season.

Following this game, Durant and the Nets will go to Dallas to play the Mavericks.
