OKC's Russell Westbrook logs a triple-double in his first game of the season
Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook picked up where he left off in 2016-17, racking up 21 points, 10 rebounds, and 16 assists for his first triple-double of 2017-18.
What else should we expect from the reigning MVP? The big difference on Thursday than last season, where he averaged 24.0 shots per game, Russ was extremely efficient making 7-of-12 shots as Paul George (28), and Carmelo Anthony (22) led the Thunder in points against the New York Knicks. He also finished behind Melo with a 28.7% usage rate on Thursday.
Westbrook finished with 53.0 FanDuel points, recording 4.5x value even with his hefty $11,800 price tag on Thursday.
