Off injury report for Sunday
Westbrook (thigh) isn't listed on the injury report for Sunday's game against the Lakers.
Analysis
Westbrook missed Thursday's win over Dallas due to a right thigh contusion, though he's set to play Sunday. The veteran point guard's return will likely push Devin Carter to the bench. In eight February appearances, Westbrook averaged 14.5 points, 4.3 assists and 2.5 rebounds across 24.4 minutes per game.

Ruled out Thursday
Westbrook is out for Thursday's game against Dallas with a bruised right thigh.
Analysis
The veteran guard's next opportunity to play comes Sunday against the Lakers. With Westbrook sitting out Thursday, Nique Clifford and Devin Carter should both see a larger share of backcourt minutes.

Drops team-high 22 in loss
Westbrook finished with 22 points (10-19 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and three assists over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 128-97 loss to the Rockets.
Analysis
The 22 points were a team high in the rout, as only three other Kings even managed to score in double digits. Westbrook has topped 20 points in back-to-back games, but consistent playing time could be tough to come by for the 37-year-old with Sacramento in full tank mode. Through eight games in February, he's played more than 30 minutes only twice, averaging 14.5 points, 4.3 assists, 2.5 boards and 1.9 threes in 24.4 minutes a contest.

Strong line in win
Westbrook contributed 25 points (8-17 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-7 FT), two rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Monday's 123-114 victory over the Grizzlies.
Analysis
Westbrook continues to defy Father Time. The team won't be playing for much down the stretch with the franchise clearly eyeing a rebuild, so it will be interesting to see how Westbrook's role shapes up in the coming weeks. He totaled only 12 points, three rebounds and three assists with eight turnovers in 38 minutes over his prior two appearances.
