Kevin Durant returned to the Phoenix lineup and the Suns immediately returned to their winning ways. Phoenix is 9-1 this season when Durant has been on the floor. The Suns will look to add another victory to the ledger when they host the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday night.

Kevin Durant returns from injury, Kevin Durant picks up where he left off, showing no signs of rust. It’s a tale so old, you forget how remarkable it is that seemingly every time Durant steps back on the floor after an absence he doesn’t look gimpy or winded or out of place.

Schroder registered 31 points (10-18 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 31 minutes during Monday's 128-120 victory over the Warriors. Schroder was a late removal from the injury report and played a key role in a surprise win for the shorthanded Nets.

As mentioned above, the Nets are coming off a 108-103 win at the Sacramento Kings that gave Brooklyn head coach Jordi Fernandez a key win in his first matchup against his mentor, Kings head coach Mike Brown.
