Russell Westbrook returns for Thunder with game-high 29 points
Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook scored 29 points (12-of-25 field goals, 4-of-10 3-pointers, 1-of-2 free throws) with 13 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals, and 4 turnovers in 36.6 minutes of a 117-113 loss to the Sacramento Kings on Monday.
What It Means:
It was Westbrook's first game back from a six-game absence due to a sprained ankle and his wife giving birth to twins. The free throw attempts were a season-low but Westbrook still put together an elite line. The Thunder visit the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday.
Westbrook scored a season-high 60.1 FanDuel points on Monday. He's averaging 51.3 FanDuel points through eight games.
