He also made a funny sort of allusion to the X-Men:</p><blockquote>“Kevin Durant. He’s a mutant. He’s a 7-foot guard,” Randle said, via <a href="https://twitter.com/SBondyNYDN/status/1392553849945214983">Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News</a>. “He was playing the 4 position earlier this year and I had to guard him for the entire game. He doesn’t see anybody on the court.”</blockquote><p>The former league MVP is a matchup nightmare for opponents with his size, length and athleticism.</p><p>Durant can shoot over anybody and pull up for 3s on odd-man breaks. He can dissect opposing defenders with the handle and finish at the rim, or get on the low block and make things happen in the post.</p><p>Sound like anyone else, Knicks fans?</p><p>Randle has displayed a similar sort of skill set to Durant in what has been a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/players/julius-randle/9a6b0863/stats">standout</a> 2020-21 season. The All-Star has generated MVP buzz, averaging 24.0 points, 10.3 rebounds and 5.9 assists. He is shooting nearly 46 percent from the field and above 41 percent from beyond the arc.</p><p>The intangibles Randle provides have been every bit as important to the Knicks. He has been a consummate leader and has played the most minutes in the NBA. As a result, New York has been the surprise of the NBA, going 38-31 thus far.</p><p>So, Durant might well be a mutant. But Randle is a unique challenge in his own right. Perhaps he will be KD’s foil if the Knicks and Nets happen to meet in the playoffs.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

With Los Angeles <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lebron-james-play-in-nightmare-every-lakers-scenario-to-escape-play-in-with-1-week-left/">trying to avoid</a> the dreaded play-in tournament, they need to basically win out their remaining games to have a chance a leapfrogging either the Dallas Mavericks or the Portland Trail Blazers.</p><p>Kuzma indeed had to pick up the slack with LeBron James still sidelined with his lingering ankle injury. There was some initial optimism that he would suit up against the Knicks, but opted for one more day of rest.</p><p>In the long run, that might be the better call for the Lakers. Despite fearing a play-in game against the Golden State Warriors and Stephen Curry, it’s still a long shot for the Lakers to lose both that and a potential matchup with the San Antonio Spurs or the Memphis Grizzlies back-to-back. Beyond any playoff positioning, making sure LeBron James is 100% healthy is the top priority for the Lakers right now.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
