Westbrook has averaged 10.8 points, 6.0 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 1.4 steals across 24.9 minutes per game in 13 regular-season outings (three starts).

    Nuggets' Russell Westbrook: Steps up with solid game

    Russell Westbrook chipped in 21 points (6-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 8-10 FT), six rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal across 34 minutes during Monday's 121-119 win over Toronto.Although his stat line doesn't reflect it, Westbrook was excellent on defense, blanketing RJ Barrett for much of the game. Westbrook also thwarted Barrett's last-second attempt to tie the game, forcing him to take an off-balance, low-percentage shot. Thanks to Westbrook, Jamal Murray's (concussion) absence has had little effect on Denver's short-term outlook.

    Nuggets' Russell Westbrook: Efficient effort in OT win

    Russell Westbrook totaled 22 points (5-12 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 10-10 FT), one rebound, five assists and one steal over 21 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 144-139 overtime victory over the Nets.After failing to score in double digits during his first three games with Denver, Westbrook broke out Tuesday by drawing plenty of contact and converting at the free-throw line. The 35-year-old guard averaged a career-low 11.1 points a game with the Clippers in 2023-24 and likely won't be a consistent offensive threat at this stage of his career, but he can still deliver occasional upside from the Denver Nuggets' second unit.

    Russell Westbrook (rest) will be available for Thursday's preseason game against the Timberwolves, head coach Michael Malone told Katy Winge of Altitude Sports.It's unclear if Westbrook will start or play off the bench, but given that almost everybody will be available for Denver, it wouldn't be surprising if the veteran point guard is part of the second unit. After all, that's the role he'll have once the 2024-25 begins for Denver against the Thunder on Oct. 24.
