Russell Westbrook (shoulder) ruled out for Lakers' Thursday matchup

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Russell Westbrook (shoulder) will not play in Thursday's contest against the Golden State Warriors.

What It Means:

Westbrook's chaotic season appears close to ending after the Lakers held out their inconsistent point guard against the Warriors. Expect Malik Monk to play a lead role in a tough spot against a Golden State unit allowing a 106.7 defensive rating.

Monk's current projection includes 14.3 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 3.3 assists.
