Russell Westbrook Faces No Minutes Cap Wednesday
4 years agoWashington Wizards point guard Russell Westbrook will be a full-go for Wednesday's game versus Philadelphia and will not face a minutes ceiling. Westbrook isn't scheduled to play in back-to-backs to begin the year, which is set to cloud his season-long fantasy appeal as soon as the first weekend. But for Opening Night, Westbrook will be full steam ahead as he faces off with a 76ers defense that was strong in limiting fantasy points to opposing point guards last year. While Westbrook is no longer playing alongside James Harden, he will have to jockey with Bradley Beal for shot attempts and usage, stats to keep an eye on as the year progresses.
