While Kevin Durant remains sidelined with a right foot injury, the Oklahoma City Thunder has officially transformed into the Russell Westbrook Show.

In Tuesday night’s 127-117 victory over the Lakers, Westbrook netted a double-double with 27 points and 11 boards, and OKC’s explosive point guard is steadily climbing the polls in the MVP race.

Though Golden State’s Steph Curry is my projected winner, it’ll be hard to pass up on Russ with him making highlight reel plays — like the following — every single night.

Russell, don’t hurt ’em.
