Thunder to rest Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, Serge Ibaka Tuesday
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant, guard Russell Westbrook and power forward Serge Ibaka will all be rested for Tuesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs.
With all of Oklahoma City's primary weapons on the sidelines Tuesday night, there's going to be a ton of opportunity for guys like Enes Kanter, Randy Foye, Dion Waiters and Anthony Morrow -- with Kanter offering the most upside out of the group. Kyle Singler could draw the start in Durant's absence, but minutes rarely translate to production for Singler.
Durant has been once again been tremendous this season, posting the second-best nERD at 20.0. He owns per-game averages of 28.2 points, 8.2 rebounds and 5.0 assists to go along with a 63.4 True Shooting Percentage. Westbrook has been superb, as well, recording a 14.9 nERD, which ranks fifth. He is putting up 23.5 points, 10.4 assists and 7.8 rebounds per night. Our models currently give the Thunder a 7.8 percent chance of winning the NBA championship, which is fourth.
