5 years agoHouston Rockets guard Russell Westbrook had 21 points, 12 rebounds and nine assists against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday night. In his first game playing against his former team, Westbrook shot 9-for-16 from the field while continuing his incredible start to the season in the Rockets 116-112 win. The fact is that the Rockets defense is so bad right now that they will always be in close games and Westbrook will continue to see upwards of 32 minutes each night. Plenty of opportunities are coming his way and the stat line he had on Monday night should be a regular occurrence on his new team. An East Coast road trip sees Westbrook take on the back courts of the Wizards, Nets and Heat over the next six days. Fantasy owners should expect Brodie to continue putting up eye-popping numbers for their teams in Week 2.--Euan Leith
