3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 3/31/16

Russell Westbrook, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder

Price: $10,600

Chris Paul is resting tonight for the Clippers, and that makes this a very nice matchup for Russell Westbrook.

It's a fairly small sample size, but in five games without Paul this year, the Clippers are sporting a 109.5 Defensive Rating. It's not surprising that the defense is so much worse without him, as he's sporting an excellent 103 Defensive Rating of his own. Paul's absence will mean increased run for both Austin Rivers and Jamal Crawford, who have the second- and third-worst Defensive Ratings on the team.

Westbrook's incredible fantasy production has become almost expected at this point, but he really has been great. In March, he's averaging 46.5 FanDuel points per game and is flirting with a triple-double almost every night, averaging 21.4 points, 10.6 assists and 8.3 rebounds per game. He's one triple-double behind Magic Johnson for the most ever in a season, and it looks like it's only a matter of time before he does it.
