Russell Westbrook is in a groove right now. In his first game after the All-Star break, Westbrook dropped 34 points (9-17 FG, 2-4 3pt, 14-14 FT) along with 10 assists, five rebounds and two steals.
Fantasy Impact
The All-Star break couldn't even put out the fire on Westbrook's recent play. His shooting percentage is not the best, but he does everything else at a high level. Points, assists, free throws and rebounds are always strong, so owners can't complain much. Also, Durant left Thursday's game late in the fourth quarter, so Westbrook could be in line for another boost over the next week or so.
