Russell Westbrook Will Miss Monday’s Contest
4 years agoWashington Wizards point guard Russell Westbrook (rest) has been ruled out for Monday's game versus the Bulls as he continues to not play in both legs of back-to-backs. Raul Neto figures to enter the starting five in place of Westbrook, although he's a risky DFS play as he works his way back from a groin ailment. Bradley Beal will presumably see an increase in usage, having averaged 34.6 PPG in the five contests that he has played without Westbrook thus far in 2020-21. Having taken just nine shots in each of his past two appearances, Westbrook's hold on being an elite fantasy asset appears tenuous, especially as he continues to sit out back-to-backs. He should be all set to return Wednesday against Toronto.
