Russell Westbrook Will Rest Versus Charlotte
5 years agoHouston Rockets guard Russell Westbrook (rest) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. It's the first game of a back-to-back set, so it's not shocking to see the Rockets rest Westbrook. He is expected to rejoin the rotation for Sunday's game against the Orlando Magic. Eric Gordon (knee) will join Westbrook on the sideline for Saturday's contest. Ben McLemore and Austin Rivers will see increased playing time and increased usage. Both of them will make interesting streaming options or DFS choices for Saturday's slate. James Harden will see his usage skyrocket without Westbrook on the court.
