3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 12/29/16
Russell Westbrook, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder
FanDuel Price: $12,500
By his recent standards, Russell Westbrook had a disappointing game on Wednesday night, posting his worst fantasy total of the last two weeks.
Of course, in Westbrook's case, "disappointing" included a triple-double, with 29 points, 17 rebounds and 11 assists, generating "only" 58.9 FanDuel points.
He is averaging an absurd 36.5 points, 12.2 assists and 11.2 rebounds over his last two weeks of play -- good for 66.0 FanDuel points per game. He also has a 44.4% usage rate during that span, building on a 42.0% rate this season that is on pace to be the highest in league history.
He doesn't have a great matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies, but his price has dropped a little bit, and with his ridiculous production, even a tough matchup is rarely enough to take him out of consideration as one of the top plays on any given slate.
