Justise Winslow is ready for the challenge of guarding Durant, LeBron

Even though Justise Winslow is just a rookie, he is not intimidated by facing two of the best players in the world this week.

Only one month into his NBA career, Justise Winslow has already proved himself to be a great defender and an important piece of one of the best teams in the East.

And with starter Luol Deng potentially unavailable for tonight’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder and Saturday’s game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Winslow knows his role could expand at the defensive end of the floor, especially when guys like Kevin Durant and LeBron James come to town.
