3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 3/25/19
Damian Lillard remains an elite fantasy option with CJ McCollum on the shelf. What other high-priced players should be on your radar on Monday?

Russell Westbrook, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder

Price: $12,000

If you're not looking to take the obvious play in Lillard (or can afford them both), Russell Westbrook's upside is as exciting as ever tonight.

The Memphis Grizzlies are playing incredibly short-handed down the stretch, and that's making them a solid fantasy matchup. They rank a middling 14th in defensive rating since the All-Star break, and they're giving significant guard minutes to Tyler Dorsey. With Dorsey on the floor, the Grizzlies' defensive rating has been 4.3 points worse than with him off the floor since he joined the team in February.

Westbrook doesn't exactly need a perfect matchup, either. He's played at least 35.5 minutes in five of his last six games, and he's averaging a huge 37.0 per game since the All-Star break. He's topped 58 FanDuel points in four of his last six, including 60-plus in three of those, and since the break he's put up 54.1 per game.

Our models also have Westbrook projected as the day's top fantasy scorer.
