Westbrook was looking like a strong candidate to earn the Sixth Man of the Year Award before being traded to the Clippers. He is averaging 16.0 points per game, 9.3 assists and 5.3 rebounds. While Westbrook has been inserted into the Clippers’ starting lineup, he has not seen a massive uptick in minutes just yet.
The former MVP combined for 31 points+rebounds+ assists in the loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night but only combined for 26 in the OT loss to the Denver Nuggets the game before. Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue opted to keep Westbrook on the bench in overtime of that tightly-contested matchup.
Lue said after the Nuggets game that he could have played Westbrook more but thought the team had found a good rhythm with Terrance Mann handling the point guard position.
Expect the Clippers-Warriors game to become another tight battle down the stretch, with both teams trying to find their best form in the final stretch of the season. It is clear that Westbrook still has work to do to win over his new coaching staff, and they won’t be leaving him on the floor for too long if he’s struggling. Look for the Warriors’ defense to frustrate the Clippers’ backcourt, adding another reason why this Russell Westbrook player prop carries plenty of value for the matchup.
