LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Lakers have easily been the most active team in the offseason having brought in a total of eight new faces. However, none of those names are as big as Russell Westbrook, who they acquired in a trade from the Washington Wizards.
Russell Westbrook is expected to have a huge impact on the Lakers being that he can do it all on the floor in terms of scoring, rebounding, and dishing out assists. However, there has been some concerns regarding his season totals this season as he is playing alongside both LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
Westbrook has averaged a triple-double in three of his last four seasons and as of right now, online sportsbooks have him missing out on the triple-double mark in the 2021-22 season.
Russell Westbrook Point Total
Russell Westbrook 2021-22 Point Average Total
- Over 19.5 -105
- Under 19.5 -135
When it comes down to the point total, money can be made on either side as there are facts that back up both sides. However, the case for the Under might be a bit stronger. Westbrook is now surrounded by tons of talent on the offensive end which could bring his points down a bit. In fact, five of his new teammates averaged double-digit points last season.
He also is not going to be the first or even second scoring option on the team being that both LeBron and Anthony Davis shoot at a much higher success rate than he does. With that, the Under is definitely the safer bet to make, but the Over should not be counted out.
Russ has hit Over 19.5 points in 11 straight seasons and also averages around 19 shot attempts per game on his career. Being that he is not afraid to shoot at any time, this could make a solid argument for the Over.

Russell Westbrook Rebound Total
Russell Westbrook 2021-22 Rebound Average Total
- Over 8.5 -105
- Under 8.5 -135
Rebounding is something that Westbrook has never really had a problem with. In his career he averages 7.4 rpg, but, he has hit Over 8.5 rpg in four of his last five seasons. Granted, on those teams, he did not have a prominent big man in the paint.
Now with the Lakers, both LeBron James and Anthony Davis are sure to take up the majority of the rebounds. Especially after they both averaged above 7.5 rebounds per game last season. Dwight Howard is also sure to make his presence known on the rebounding end having pup 8.4 rpg in 2020 as well.
With this, his NBA odds on the Under for rebounds should make some easy money.
Russell Westbrook Assist Total
Russell Westbrook 2021-22 Assist Average Total
- Over 8.5 -110
- Under 8.5 -130
Of the three early-season totals for Brodie, he has the best shot at hitting the Over for his assists average total. He is an assist specialist having hit the Over mark in five of his last six seasons and all of them in the double-digit margin.
Going back to his point total, although the new offensive weapons that were brought to the Lakers in the offseason can take a negative toll on his points, they should help his assist total thrive being that he has tons of options to pass to. The longer odds here should be a smart play with a decent payout.
