Westbrook showed no ill-effects from the injury in Game 3, putting up his best performance of the post-season, putting up 26 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists for 52.4 FanDuel Fantasy Points. It was Westbrook’s first triple-double this postseason and the first time that he put up more than 16 points and 40.0 fantasy points. Westbrook played 34:11 in Game 3, and he could be asked to shoulder a similar workload.
