Russell Westbrook, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder

FanDuel Price: $12,900

Russell Westbrook has been his usual dominant self recently, with 60-plus fantasy points in 9 of his 15 games since the All-Star break, averaging 61.7 per game in that span. Few players offer even close to the floor and upside that Westbrook does on a nightly basis, and he leads the league in both usage (40.6%) and assist (54.6%) rates (minimum 50 minutes) since the break.

The slow-paced Dallas Mavericks aren't an ideal opponent, but few of today's high-priced players draw good matchups, and if there's anyone you can bet on to overcome a tough spot and post huge numbers, it's a guy like Westbrook who is going to see massive volume and has proven his elite upside over the whole season.

Our models project Westbrook as the top fantasy scorer on today's slate by a significant margin.
