5 years agoHouston Rockets point guard Russell Westbrook appears set to miss the second leg of his team’s back-to-back Monday against Memphis after having been cleared to play Sunday versus Miami. Westbrook, who has notched four double-doubles and two triple-doubles thus far in 2019-20, is a strong DFS candidate Sunday due to his low price tag in DFS. Without him Monday versus the Grizzlies, James Harden figures to see his workload increase, while Austin Rivers could also present himself as a solid one-night option. Check back to make sure Westbrook will definitively sit, but head coach Mike D’Antoni seems set on giving Westbrook an early season breather.--Jesse Borek
