Washington Wizards guard Russell Westbrook (quad) is expected to miss at least a week of action. This is a big blow to the Wizards who just lost Thomas Bryant (knee) to a season-ending injury.

Detroit Pistons guard Derrick Rose (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Utah Jazz. The veteran guard will join rookie Killian Hayes (hip) on the sideline for this one.
