Double-doubles with 14 rebounds Westbrook supplied 14 points (5-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 14 rebounds, four assists and one block over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 122-112 loss to the Knicks.

Impact Westbrook led the Nuggets in rebounding with 14 boards on a night where Nikola Jokic got into foul trouble during the first half. It's also worth noting the veteran guard was able to hold onto his spot in Denver's starting lineup in favor of Christian Braun, despite Aaron Gordon returning to the first unit Wednesday. Westbrook has averaged 13.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.0 three-pointers in 29.7 minutes over his last seven games, and he should maintain enhanced fantasy value in points leagues as long as he stays with the first five.

Sniffs triple-double Westbrook provided 11 points (4-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Tuesday's 144-109 win over the 76ers.

Impact Westbrook has failed to score more than 12 points in four of his last five appearances, but the lack of touches on offense seems to be by design, as he's shooting 47.8 percent from the floor and 52.9 percent from three in that span. He seems to be comfortable in a secondary role on offense, though, as he's averaging 12.0 points, 5.4 assists, 4.4 rebounds and 0.8 steals per game during that five-game stretch.

Struggles from field Tuesday Westbrook amassed nine points (3-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals across 26 minutes during Tuesday's 118-99 win over the Mavericks.

Impact Westbrook had been on a tear in recent weeks, but he didn't have his best shooting line Tuesday and failed to reach double-digit points for the first time since Jan. 4, when he also had nine points in a loss to the Spurs. Westbrook is averaging 15.4 points, 7.5 rebounds and 7.6 assists per game over his last 11 appearances as a starter, but it wouldn't be surprising if he moves back to a bench role now that Aaron Gordon (calf) is back in the rotation.
