Rockets' Russell Westbrook (rest) to play Friday, likely miss Saturday
Houston Rockets guard Russell Westbrook will play on Friday night in the team's game against the Orlando Magic.
However, he's expected to take a rest day in the second night of a back-to-back against the Detroit Pistons. Westbrook has one of the most consistently heavy workloads in the league year in and year out, so maintaining him with a rest day here and there should help come playoff time.
Our models project Westbrook for 48.0 FanDuel points across 35.3 minutes of action against Orlando.
