Rockets' Russell Westbrook reportedly not in Orlando, expected to join team in 'near future'
Houston Rockets point guard Russell Westbrook did not travel to Orlando on Thursday.
The Rockets are expecting Westbrook and James Harden to report on a later date after their stars did not travel with the team to Orlando. As long as the Rockets are healthy, Westbrook should remain one of Houston's top offensive producers alongside a starting lineup including Harden, Danuel House, Robert Covington, and P.J. Tucker.
According to Rotogrinders' Court IQ with Houston's current starting lineup on the court, Westbrook is averaging 1.45 FanDuel points per minute (163.6 minute sample size) and a usage rate of 33.2%.
