3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 2/14/19

Russell Westbrook, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder

Price: $12,400

Russell Westbrook is tough to ignore in a matchup this good.

The New Orleans Pelicans rank 23rd in defensive rating while playing at the league's sixth-highest pace. They're especially generous to opponents at the point, allowing the NBA's fifth-most FanDuel points per minute to the position.

Westbrook has posted no fewer than 50 FanDuel points in any of his last seven games, with no fewer than 47.1 in any of his last 10. Those 10 games have also seen him top 60 FanDuel points four times, averaging 57.8 FanDuel points in 36.1 minutes per game.

His first game against the Pels this season was a weak one, but he played only 25.2 minutes in a blowout in that game. His second outing against them saw the minutes pick up to 38.2, then his third game saw him put together the efficiency and playing time with 69.4 fantasy points in 36.7 minutes just nine games ago.

That kind of ceiling is absolutely in play tonight, and with the great floor he has shown lately, Westbrook is a top play in all formats on tonight's short slate.
