Russell Westbrook returned from a six game absence to lead the Thunder in scoring and assists against the Kings on Monday. Playing unrestricted for 37 minutes, Westbrook tallied 29 points (12-for-25 from the field, 4-for-10 on trebles), 13 rebounds, seven assists and three steals.
Fantasy Impact
The Thunder had taken care to allow Westbrook's ankle to fully heal before bringing him back, and that was apparent on Monday. Westbrook looked fully healed and excelled in his return. He led the Thunder in scoring and assists, and secured a double-double. Owners will rejoice and feel confident getting him back into lineups.
