Fantasy Impact
Westbrook has been on load management all season, and will sit out end of a back-to-back. He has not appeared in any of the previous six back-to-back contests for Houston. Look for Eric Gordon to see an expanded role Monday, and fantasy owners should expect Westbrook to return in Wednesday's tilt against the Trail Blazers.
