Tepid with 13 points in loss
Westbrook closed with 13 points (6-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists and two steals across 26 minutes during Sunday's 125-101 loss to the Lakers.
Analysis
The Kings have become dependent on Westbrook's offensive spark, but he was unable to deliver his usual pop during Sunday's loss. He also saw a minute decrease once the game was out of hand, which contributed to the regression. He'll try to bounce back against the Clippers on Tuesday.

Passes Magic in all-time assists
Westbrook generated 21 points (8-16 FG, 5-9 3Pt), nine assists, five rebounds and one steal across 28 minutes of Saturday's 113-107 win over the Mavericks.
Analysis
Westbrook's nine assists were enough to push him into seventh place on the all-time assists list, passing Magic Johnson. The veteran guard tied for the team high in points, eclipsing the 20-point mark for the fourth time in five games. Since moving into the starting lineup Nov. 12, Westbrook is averaging 14.5 points, 7.9 assists, 7.0 rebounds and 1.7 steals across 29.9 minutes per game.

Logs season-high 27 points in loss
Westbrook accumulated 27 points (9-21 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 5-7 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 136-127 loss to Detroit.
Analysis
Westbrook fired up 21 shot attempts and managed his best scoring total of the season during the defeat. Westbrook's career renaissance has been a major boost for the Kings, but the former MVP's contributions have yet to translate into many wins. If Domantas Sabonis (knee) and Zach LaVine (ankle) can return to action over the next month, they can join Westbrook and DeMar DeRozan and try to salvage the season, but they face an uphill battle with a conference-worst 7-23 record.
