3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 11/15/17
Russell Westbrook, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder
Price: $10,300
Russell Westbrook has been slumping lately, and that has his price tag way down.
His fantasy production has been hurt from the fact that he has been cold from the field -- he owns a 36.6% field goal percentage over his last seven games,and an especially weak 35.1% over his last four. A sample size that small shouldn't give you much pause, though, and his numbers will likely be back around his .433 career average, or at least the .425 mark he posted last season, moving forward.
What's important is that this slump hasn't been hurting his volume -- he has attempted at least 15 field goals in each of his last six games, averaging 20.3 with a 34.5% usage rate in that span. The triple-double king is still a big threat for fantasy numbers in other areas, too. Westbrook has a solid 13.8% rebound rate and elite 48.6% assist rate.
The Chicago Bulls are one of the league's worst defensive teams, sitting 20th in defensive rating while allowing the seventh-highest effective field goal percentage. This is a prime spot for Westbrook to get himself back on track.
