Russell Westbrook

PG, Houston Rockets

Russell Westbrook (bruised right quad) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Kings, although he was present at shootaround on Saturday.

Westbrook will be given the night off on Sunday, making that two consecutive games on the sidelines. The injury doesn't appear to be too serious and this is likely a case of the team being cautious with their superstar. In his absence, Ben McLemore and Austin Rivers should see an increased role and both are worth a look in DFS formats.
