Watch Milwaukee Bucks Vs. Oklahoma City Thunder Live Stream: Russell Westbrook Can Tie Triple-Double Record


Russell Westbrook can make history Tuesday when his Oklahoma City Thunder host the Milwaukee Bucks in an NBA inter-conference game that will live stream from Oklahoma as Westbrook continues his drive to become only the second player in NBA history to average a triple-double over an entire season.

If Westbrook can score in double figures against Milwaukee, as well as record at least 10 rebounds and 10 assists, he will tie the 55-year-old record for most triple-double games in an NBA season — a record of 41 set in the 1961-1962 season by Hall of Famer Oscar Robertson who then played for the Cincinnati Royals — a franchise that today is known as the Sacramento Kings.

If the 28-year-old, former UCLA star Westbrook, who was the fourth overall pick in the 2008 NBA draft by the then-Seattle Supersonics, can score only 37 points with 11 rebounds and 29 assists in the Thunder’s final six games — starting Tuesday against the Bucks — he will average a triple double for the season. Of course, when Robertson played, the three-point shot did not exist in the NBA, but Robertson nonetheless scored an average of 30.8 points per game in 1961-1962.

Apart from Westbrook’s shot at tying the 55-year-old single season triple-double record, Tuesday’s game is a significant one for both teams as they try to secure the best possible playoff position in their respective conferences. Oklahoma City currently sits in the Western Conference sixth seed — but the Thunder are currently just a game-and-a-half ahead of the Memphis Grizzlies, with six games left to play for OKC.

But Oklahoma has dropped two games in a row and four of their last seven. Over in the East, however, surging Milwaukee, despite losing to Dallas on Sunday, has won eight of their last 11 — including a three-point victory over the conference-leading Boston Celtics to shoot up the standings into the fifth spot.
