Rockets' Russell Westbrook (rest) starting on Thursday in place of injured Eric Gordon

Houston Rockets guard Russell Westbrook will start on Thursday in the team's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

What It Means:

Granted, Westbrook would have started no matter what against his former team after missing Wednesday's game due to rest. However, with Gordon sidelined with a knee injury, Westbrook will simply take the open spot instead of demoting someone to the bench.

Our models project Westbrook for 45.0 FanDuel points across 35.4 minutes of action.
