NBA Daily Notes: The Rockets seem to be back to their best; Top fantasy picks for January 8th

PG 2 - Russell Westbrook (Oklahoma City Thunder):

Oklahoma City Thunder are having a wonderful season as of now, and are currently 3rd in the Western Conference with a 25-14 record. They have won only 6 of their last 10 games, showing some regression in their performance of late, and lost their last game against the Washington Wizards, 116-98.

Russell Westbrook was their best performer and probably needs to be that for them each game.

Oklahoma City Thunder are slowing down a little lately

Westbrook is, as usual, averaging a triple double, scoring 21 points per game, along with 11 rebounds and 10 assists, and is getting an elite 2.6 steals per game. In the loss against the Washington Wizards, Westbrook played a starring role, scoring 22 points, along with 13 assists, 15 rebounds and one big block.

The Thunder play the Minnesota Timberwolves next and will be hoping for another top performance from Russell Westbrook.

Alternate pick: Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors)
