Russell Westbrook

Russell Westbrook registered 28 points (9-26 FG, 3-11 3 PT, 7-9 FT), 13 rebounds, 10 assists, one block, and two steals, and the Rockets crushed the Trail Blazers, 132-108.

Fantasy Impact

Westbrook's atrocious shooting efficiency was evident but irrelevant tonight, as he more than made up for it with his superb playmaking ability. His game today also just marks the third time he and teammate Clint Capela grabbed double-digit rebounds in the same game and the first time since October 30th. While it's unlikely they'll be able to coexist so well on a nightly basis, they'll try to share the wealth this Wednesday against the Nuggets.

Russell Westbrook will sit out Saturday's game in second game of a back-to-back set.

Fantasy Impact

With Westbrook out, Austin Rivers and Ben McLemore will start and be viable DFS options in this contest. James Harden and PJ Tucker get a boost as well and should be starting in all leagues.

Russell Westbrook recorded 17 points (5-21 FG, 1-6 3 PT, 6-6 FT), eight rebounds, six assists, and a steal in 35 minutes, as the Rockets beat the Pacers 111-102.

Fantasy Impact

Westbrook's subpar shooting (23.8%) leaves a lot to be desired, but he at least made up for that with solid totals in rebounds and assists. However, he is 11-41 from the field in the last two games, and its something he'll try to rectify heading into Saturday's matchup against the Timberwolves.

Russell Westbrook scored 17 points (6-20 FG, 2-7 3 PT, 3-4 FT), two assists, and two rebounds in 30 minutes, as the Rockets beat the Clippers, 102-93.

Fantasy Impact

Westbrook and the Rockets' offense as a whole went quiet against a tough Clippers team, but the team was bailed out by an all-world performance by James Harden. Westbrook's declining production in rebounds and assists have seen him go six consecutive games without hitting double-digits in either of those categories. However, he's too good to stay in this cold-stretch, and he should be in your lineups this Friday when Houston takes on New Orleans.

Russell Westbrook recorded 26 points (11-21, 1-8 3 PT, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, four assists, and four steals in 35 minutes of action, with the Rockets beating the Pelicans 122-116.

Fantasy Impact

While Westbrook is still having a great first season with Houston, the month of November hasn't been as kind to the former MVP. After starting the season with four straight games of 10+ boards and dishing out 10.3 assists a night during that same span, his averages this month has dropped to 6.0 and 5.2 in rebounds and assists, respectively. A decline in production was expected with a move to a much more balanced roster, but Westbrook's high floor and astronomical ceiling still make him a valuable part of your fantasy team. Lock him into your lineup when the Rockets and Clippers face-off tomorrow at the Toyota Center.
