Thunder rule out Russell Westbrook (rest) on Tuesday
Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook (rest) has been ruled out against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday.
What It Means:
The Thunder are locked into the Number 6 seed in the West, so their remaining tow regular season games won't have any impact on their playoff run. Look for Semaj Christon to start in Westbrook's place, while Victor Oladipo should see his role increase in a big way on the offensive end.
Westbrook has averaged a league-leading 31.9 points to go with 10.7 rebounds and 10.4 assists per game this season. He leads Thunder players and ranks eighth in the NBA with a 15.3 nERD.
