Westbrook fouled out of Friday's 176-175 double-overtime loss to Sacramento after recording 17 points (7-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 14 assists, five rebounds and one steal over 39 minutes.
Making his Clippers debut, Westbrook unseated Terance Mann as the team's starting point guard. While he struggled on the defensive end, Westbrook hit a clutch basket in the final 15 seconds of regulation and facilitated well all evening. His fantasy value has been all over the place this season, but if his usage Friday is any indication, he's going to see plenty of ballhandling responsibilities while serving as a third scoring option behind Paul George and Kawhi Leonard.
