Royal

Ivey

Ivey should eventually work his way back into a good share of the point guard minutes.

Ivey’s stock does take a dip with Lue’s arrival, but he should still have a big role by the end of the season.

Westbrook is known for his durability, but there is a chance he might not be able to play on Saturday. If he can’t play, either Royal Ivey or Reggie Jackson will start in his place. Owners should check back for an update before Saturday’s game.

That makes him questionable for Saturday’s game in Atlanta, which happens to be a one-game road trip. If the Thunder want to play it safe they may not send him out for just one game, but we have no information to that effect. Royal Ivey is the favorite to start if Westbrook misses any time, but the real bump in value will go to Kevin Durant and James Harden.

Westbrook should be considered questionable for Saturday’s game against the Hawks. If Westbrook doesn’t play, either Royal Ivey or Reggie Jackson would draw the start, but Kevin Durant and James Harden would benefit the most from a fantasy standpoint.

Daequan Cook has been filling in at SG for the Thunder, with James Harden and Royal Ivey picking up the slack off the bench.

We’re unlikely to know his status until just before tip-off, leaving many of his owners in a precarious position. If he can’t suit up, expect to see either Reggie Jackson or Royal Ivey in the starting lineup, with James Harden also taking on more playmaking duties.

“I’ve definitely thought about it, (but) never to the point where I’ve wanted to pull the trigger,” Brooks said. Cook should continue to start while Thabo Sefolosha (foot) remains out.

Westbrook rolled his ankle, went straight to the locker room and replays showed that he rolled it pretty badly. The Thunder are winning big tonight, so that probably played a factor in their decision to hold Westbrook out. He’ll be questionable for Sunday when the Thunder host the Nuggets, so stay tuned for updates. If he’s out, Royal Ivey, who had nine points in 21 minutes, or rookie Reggie Jackson could get the start in his place in that one.

Maynor injured his knee on a non-contact play and hit the ground in a heap of pain. It didn’t look good when it happened, and we should have a more firm diagnosis within the next 24 hours. Royal Ivey and rookie Reggie Jackson are behind Maynor on the depth chart.
