Al-Nassr is currently third in the Saudi Pro League, two points behind Al-Hilal and four points on leaders Al-Eittihad.
The side of Dhuran is also guaranteed from a knock -out place in the AFC Champions League, after he has won five of their seven games in the group stage.
The hot streak of the striker comes when he admitted that he felt rigstruck by playing in the same team as Cristiano Ronaldo.
Speaking after his first match for Al-Nassr, Duran said: 'It feels like I'm playing the FIFA career mode. I four goals with Cristiano Ronaldo! '
