Russell Westbrook Latest News
Gets starting nod sans Murray

Westbrook will start in Monday's game against the Suns, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports. With Jamal Murray (ankle) sidelined, Westbrook will pick up his seventh start through 27 regular-season outings. Over six appearances in the starting five, the veteran point guard has averaged 14.8 points, 8.7 assists, 5.8 rebounds and 2.7 steals across 32.5 minutes per contest.
Shines off bench Sunday

Westbrook finished Sunday's 132-129 overtime win over the Pelicans with 21 points (9-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals across 36 minutes. Westbrook was impressive in this tight win over New Orleans, finishing as the team's third-best scorer while filling out the stat sheet admirably, despite coming off the bench. From a purely statistical perspective, Westbrook remains valuable in fantasy even when considering his bench role. The veteran has scored 18 or more points in his last three games, averaging 19.3 points, 7.3 assists, 6.0 rebounds and 2.3 steals per contest in that stretch.
Shifting back to bench

Westbrook isn't starting Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers. Westbrook drew a spot start due to the absence of Christian Braun on Monday against the Kings, but the 36-year-old will return to his usual reserve role Thursday night. He's been far less productive off the bench of late, as he's been held to 10 or fewer points in each of his last four appearances off the bench.
Sniffs triple-double

Westbrook closed with 18 points (8-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, 10 assists and three steals over 35 minutes during Monday's 130-129 win over the Kings. Westbrook finished just one rebound away from recording a triple-double, and the veteran floor general reminded everyone around the league what he can do on games when things are going the right way for him. Westbrook is averaging 14.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 8.7 assists and 2.7 steals per game as a starter, but his role has been inconsistent all season long. He's likely to head back to the bench if Christian Braun (back) is able to start Thursday against the Trail Blazers.
Starting sans Braun

Westbrook will enter the starting lineup in Monday's game against the Kings. With Christian Braun (back) sidelined, Westbrook will pick up his sixth start of the season Monday. Over five starts, the veteran guard has averaged 14.2 points, 8.4 assists, 5.2 rebounds and 2.6 steals while shooting 52.1 percent from the field across 32.0 minutes per contest.
Back to bench Friday

Westbrook is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Clippers. Westbrook will return to the bench Friday since Jamal Murray will make his return from a two-game absence due to hamstring inflammation. Westbrook has been serviceable off the bench for Denver, averaging 10.5 points, 5.8 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game when deployed in a second-unit role.
Narrowly misses triple-double

Westbrook amassed seven points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-4 FT), 10 rebounds, 12 assists, one block and four steals in 32 minutes during Saturday's 122-113 loss to Washington. Making a spot start in the absence of Jamal Murray (hamstring) on Saturday, Westbrook played a passive role and facilitated Denver's offense with a game-high 12 assists on a night that Nikola Jokic scored a career-high 56 points. Westbrook has now made four appearances as a starter for the Nuggets this season, averaging a solid 15.5 points, 7.8 assists, 6.3 rebounds, 2.8 steals and 1.3 three-pointers in 32.4 minutes per game as a member of the first unit. The 36-year-old former All-Star may hurt fantasy managers in nine-category formats with his subpar free-throw percentage and high rate of turnovers, but he'd be a strong streaming option in points leagues if Murray ends up missing Sunday's clash with a Hawks team that ranks 28th in the NBA in points allowed per game (119.0).
Starting Saturday vs. Washington

Westbrook is in the Nuggets' starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Wizards. Westbrook will make his fourth start of the 2024-25 regular season Saturday due to Jamal Murray (hamstring) being ruled out. Across his three starts, Westbrook averaged 18.3 points, 6.3 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 2.3 steals over 32.3 minutes per contest.
Leads off bench in defeat

Westbrook finished with 10 points (4-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 16 minutes during Thursday's 126-114 loss to Cleveland. Westbrook provided a nice spark off Denver's bench in Thursday's contest, leading the Nuggets' second unit in scoring, assists and blocks while finishing as one of six players with a double-digit point total. Westbrook has reached double figures in scoring in 10 outings this season, eight of which have come off the bench.
