3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 2/11/19

Russell Westbrook, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder

DraftKings Price: $11,400

One of the more entertaining games of the evening should occur when Russell Westbrook and the Oklahoma City Thunder play host to Damian Lillard and the Portland Trail Blazers at Chesapeake Energy Arena. The Thunder and Blazers sit third and fourth, respectively, in the Western Conference, but both teams are still chasing the Denver Nuggets in what is the toughest division in the NBA.

The Thunder have come through with wins in both games against Portland this season, largely due to Westbrook, who is averaging 30.0 points, 9.5 boards, and 10.5 assists in those two games. Westbrook scored 67.0 DraftKings points when the two teams last met (January 22) and has topped 50 DraftKings points nine times in a row against the Blazers, who just lost to the Dallas Mavericks, 102-101, after being up by as many as 15 points in the fourth quarter.

We project a win from the Thunder, buoyed by stellar play from Wesbrook, who we have projected for 58.7 DraftKings points, second to only James Harden. If you're looking for a player around whom to build a lineup, Westbrook is one of the best options.
