Rockets' Russell Westbrook (rest) to play Friday, likely miss Saturday
Houston Rockets guard Russell Westbrook will play on Friday night in the team's game against the Orlando Magic.
What It Means:
However, he's expected to take a rest day in the second night of a back-to-back against the Detroit Pistons. Westbrook has one of the most consistently heavy workloads in the league year in and year out, so maintaining him with a rest day here and there should help come playoff time.
Our models project Westbrook for 48.0 FanDuel points across 35.3 minutes of action against Orlando.
