Fantasy Impact

Sacramento was not able to pick up a win over Utah on Friday night, but that didn't stop Westbrook from having a great game himself. He scored 16 points and was able to lead the team in assists, rebounds, and steals outside of that, which left him with a strong triple-double in that matchup. He has been an up-and-down fantasy option recently, but it's nice to see that he still has this kind of a ceiling on a game-to-game basis.

Amidst a rough night for Sacramento's starting lineup, Russell Westbrook emerged as a reliable offensive option in Wednesday's 112-100 loss to the Suns.
