Wizards' Russell Westbrook (quad) expected to miss a week
Washington Wizards point guard Russell Westbrook (quad) is expected to miss a week.
What It Means:
Raul Neto and Ish Smith are candidates to start while Westbrook is out. Neto started in place of Westbrook on Saturday but he played just 20 minutes and offered minimal production. Bradley Beal (health protocols) will return for Monday's game against the Phoenix Suns and should see massive usage with Westbrook and Thomas Bryant (ACL) on the shelf.
numberFire’s models project Beal for 46.9 FanDuel points versus the Suns and he has a salary of $10,100 on Monday’s slate. Beal owns a 43.2 percent usage rate and averages 1.8 FanDuel points per minute this season when Westbrook and Bryant are out.
