3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 3/7/17
Russell Westbrook, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder
FanDuel Price: $13,100
It's tough to pay up for Russell Westbrook with his huge salary. However, if you can find enough value plays you like, he's well worth the cost and easily has the highest upside of the day.
His ridiculous production is no secret, leading the league in scoring, usage rate (42.1%) and assist rate (55.8%), all while averaging a triple-double per game. He has topped 60 FanDuel points in 8 of his 10 games over the past month, averaging 61.3 in that span.
The Oklahoma City Thunder have the second-highest implied total on the slate as they take on a Portland Trail Blazers team that ranks only 27th in defensive rating. We project Westbrook for over 10 fantasy points more than anyone else on the slate.
