Russell Westbrook III (hamstring) won't play in Saturday's contest against the Charlotte Hornets.
Fantasy Impact
Westbrook suffered a hamstring injury during Friday's win over the 76ers. The severity of it is unclear right now, and he has been ruled out for Denver's matchup on Saturday. Fantasy managers should keep close tabs on his status over the next few days and expect more work for Christian Braun and Julian Strawther for the time being.
Russell Westbrook delivered 11 points (4-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt), seven rebounds, nine assists, and one steal over 25 minutes in Tuesday’s game against the 76ers.
Fantasy Impact
Westbrook made the most of his limited minutes, falling just three rebounds and one assist short of a triple-double. Starting in place of Aaron Gordon, who is being eased back into action following a calf injury, the veteran guard showcased his versatility once again. While Nikola Jokic continues to dominate with nightly triple-doubles, Westbrook has proven he can provide impactful production alongside him. Fantasy managers should monitor Denver’s rotation, as Westbrook’s upside increases significantly when a starter is out of the lineup.
Russell Westbrook tallied 17 points (6-14 FG, 3-5 3PT, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, and two assists over 25 minutes. Westbrook’s scoring helped keep the Nuggets within reach during stretches of the game.
Fantasy Impact
Westbrook’s contributions in points and threes provide solid value, though his turnover issues remain a concern for fantasy managers. He’s a viable play in points leagues and deeper formats.
Russell Westbrook managed nine points (3-11 FG, 1-3 3PT, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists, two steals, and one block across 26 minutes. Despite his shooting struggles, Westbrook’s hustle and defensive impact were notable.
Fantasy Impact
Westbrook’s shooting woes limit his fantasy ceiling, but his ability to fill up the stat sheet in other categories keeps him relevant in deeper leagues.
Russell Westbrook III stuffed the stat sheet for the Nuggets Sunday, dishing out seven assists, recording one steal, grabbing 10 rebounds, blocking two shots, and scoring 21 points (10-17 FG, 0-2 3PT, 1-3 FT) in a 112-101 win over the Mavericks.
Fantasy Impact
Westbrook III continues a modest stretch on both ends of the floor, finishing with nine or more points, six or more assists, and six or more rebounds in each of his last five games. The veteran guard continues to flash game-changing ability on both ends of the floor with an increased role in the Denver lineup of late, averaging 13.2 points, 6.8 assists, and 5.1 rebounds per game while posting a usage rate of 22.1% so far this season.
