The former MVP, who was struggling from the field till recently, has found his rhythm back. The Lakers point guard is averaging 20.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 8.1 assists on a 44.4% shooting from the field. However, turnovers continue to be a problem for Brodie, averaging almost five turnovers per game.

The two-time scoring champion’s ability to shoot the ball has rapidly declined over the years, especially from the 3-point line. Westbrook is currently 26.3% from beyond the arc.
