Rockets guard Russell Westbrook will be upgraded from out to questionable for Game 5 against the Thunder, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reported.

The Thunder and Rockets will tip-off at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday night. The first-round series is tied 2-2.

Westbrook has yet to face his former team this series due to a right quadriceps strain.

ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported that Westbrook is a game-time decision.
