Russell Westbrook Will Miss Saturday’s Game; Raul Neto To Start
4 years agoWashington Wizards point guard Russell Westbrook (quad) has been ruled out for Saturday's contest against the Heat due to a sore left quad, continuing his trend of missing one leg of back-to-backs to begin the 2020-21 season. Raul Neto has been tabbed to start at PG in Westbrook's stead, giving him considerable DFS upside, as he has gone for 35 points in his two prior starts this year. Bradley Beal also figures to see an uptick in interest without Westbrook on the floor, as he should garner additional field-goal attempts. In addition to sustaining a dislocated finger earlier in the week, Westbrook is now battling a quad issue, which further complicates his availability for Monday's game versus Phoenix.
