Russell Westbrook (finger) questionable for Wizards Friday
Washington Wizards point guard Russell Westbrook (sore finger) is questionable to play on Friday versus the Boston Celtics.
What It Means:
Westbrook dislocated a finger on his right hand in Wednesday's loss and is still dealing with soreness. Friday is also the front end of a back-to-back and Westbrook is typically rested for a game, so it wouldn't be surprising if the Wizards hold him out. Raul Neto will likely replace Westbrook in the starting lineup if he sits.
numberFire’s models project Westbrook for 49.1 FanDuel points versus the Celtics and he has a salary of $10,700 on Friday’s 10-game slate. Neto has a salary of $4,200 and is averaging 30.7 FanDuel points in the starting lineup.
