Russell Westbrook, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder

FanDuel Price: $11,500

With Kevin Durant gone from the Oklahoma City Thunder, we all expected Russell Westbrook to step up his game, but his huge start to the year has still been incredibly impressive.

Westbrook is sporting a league-high 41.2% usage rate -- which would be the highest ever recorded if he maintains it over a full season -- while he also leads the league with 56.4 FanDuel points per game, which is on pace to be the fourth-highest mark of all time.

He draws a great matchup tonight against a Houston Rockets team that ranks 22nd in defensive rating, and he will be across from James Harden -- who is sporting a career-worst 109 defensive rating. Our models project Westbrook for the highest fantasy score of the day.
