Each night of the NBA brings some interesting new players out of the woodwork who are major contributors. That was the case on Friday night, in wins for several teams, including the Los Angeles Clippers and Sacramento Kings. Below are the five players who stood out most from Friday's NBA results.
Kevin Durant - Golden State Warriors
It's hard to say if KD's performance on Friday versus the Knicks was an audition or a "now you see me, now you don't" act. Durant torched the team that wants to sign him next year by scoring 41 points, grabbing nine boards, and dishing out five assists in an MSG clinic!

Kemba Walker - Charlotte Hornets
Kemba Walker has continued to impress during the early part of the season. The All-Star has been shooting threes at a great rate, with only Steph Curry ahead of him in attempts. On Friday, Walker nailed five of them, and finished with 30 points to help the Hornets defeat the Bulls, 135-106.
