Russell Westbrook

PG, Houston Rockets

According to head coach Mike D'Antoni, Russell Westbrook will play 25-30 minutes on Monday as he continues to work his way back from a right quad strain.

The Rockets have the chance to close out their series with the Thunder, but D'Antoni can't risk Westbrook's availability in future games by playing him too much. Westbrook received 24 minutes in Game 5 on Saturday, scoring just seven points. Danuel House will again assume a bench role for the Rockets.
