Russell Westbrook, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder

Price: $11,400

Russell Westbrook has been dealing with a tough stretch (for fantasy purposes) in the Oklahoma City Thunder schedule, playing five of his last six games against teams that rank either top-12 in defensive rating or bottom-10 in pace -- including two teams that fall into both categories.

That changes tonight against the Minnesota Timberwolves, who do the opposite, combining a top-12 pace with a bottom-10 defensive rating.

It has not been a terrible run of production for Russ either, still averaging 52.9 FanDuel points per game, though that's well below his season average of 55.0.

The Wolves allow the NBA's 13th-most FanDuel points per minute to opposing point guards, and with the Thunder sitting as two-point underdogs, Westbrook should get all the minutes he can handle in this one.
