Dennis Schroder has been on a nice run. Outside of a 41 point blowout loss to Memphis, he's put up 14/6/6, 22/6/5, 21/5/3, and 21/3/7 in 4 of his last 5 games. This run, along with Domantas Sabonis' injury, has steamed his lines up. Even in his dud scoring game (3 pts vs Memphis) he still had 6 assists. I'm going to fade his assists on a line that I think has steamed up too high fueled by a few unsustainably positive team stats. Versus Denver the Kings shot 62% on two point shots while committing just 6 turnovers. He had 6 assists despite the team only scoring 96 at Memphis which indicates to me an unusually high shooting% for his assist opportunities.

Russell Westbrook continues to play big minutes for a struggling Kings team and to his credit is still capable of stuffing the stat sheet. That being said, Russ has been very inefficient and gets a tough matchup against one of the better defenses in the league in Minnesota in a game with blow out potential. I believe Russ is playing above his head at the moment and is a regression candidate.
