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.

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.
