After securing the MVP, Durant went through the ordeal of injury, and he's becoming more menacing on the court.
This season, Westbrook is averaging 23.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 10.5 assists per game, exuding the aura of a future triple-double king.
In player value rankings, Westbrook is fourth among guards, with the top three being MVP-level Curry, supernova Zeng Xingyang, and advanced stats king Paul.
As for Durant, he's fourth among forwards, behind LeBron James, Draymond Green, and Leonard.
This immense efficiency makes Westbrook and Durant the strongest duo this season.
Under their leadership, the Thunder's offensive efficiency ranks second in the league, just behind the Warriors.
Even though Thunder's star duo is formidable, Zeng Xingyang noticed plenty of flaws in this Thunder team.
Because beyond the duo, they only have two Ks (Ibaka, Adams) and two Qs (Waiters and Kanter), and all other cards are low-value singles.
Such a hand finds it hard to win at a high level.
