3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 3/16/18

Russell Westbrook, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder

Price: $12,100

Our models project Russell Westbrook, the top-priced player on the slate, for the day's top fantasy score.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are the only team with a higher implied total than the Sixers (a strong 113.75), and this game has the day's highest over/under at 223.0. The Los Angeles Clippers have combined a below-average defensive rating and a top-five pace since the All-Star break, creating no shortage of opportunity for fantasy scoring for their opponents.

Westbrook snapped out of a bit of a slump (at least by his lofty standards) with a 66.4-fantasy-point game on Tuesday, giving him 50.6 per game since the All-Star break. He has played at least 35 minutes in 8 of his 11 games in that stretch, and he should have no trouble converting that playing time into fantasy production in this matchup.
