Thunder-Raptors Preview

TORONTO -- Raptors guard DeMar DeRozan admits that he is an admirer of Oklahoma City Thunder guard Russell Westbrook and his continuing stream of triple-doubles.

"I'm definitely a fan," DeRozan said Wednesday as the Raptors prepared to play the Thunder on Thursday at the Air Canada Centre. "I always love watching Russ."

After scoring 25 points with 12 rebounds and 19 assists, in Oklahoma City's 122-104 victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday, Westbrook has 33 triple-doubles for the season.

"It's just incredible to see that type of player, what he's doing every single night," said DeRozan, the Raptors' leading scorer.
