Russell Westbrook, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder

FanDuel Price: $12,000

With Kevin Durant out of the picture, we're about to see the full extent of what Russell Westbrook is capable of with the Oklahoma City Thunder this season.

We have been treated to previews of it in the past, and it was everything we dreamed of. With KD only playing 27 games in the 2014-2015 season, Westbrook averaged 30.5 points, 9.2 assists, 7.6 rebounds and 2.2 steals, posting 53.7 FanDuel Points in 35.4 minutes per game without his sidekick. He also posted a massive 40% usage rate through those 48 games -- a mark that would have been the best among players with at least 10 minutes per game in either of the last two seasons.

Westbrook draws a good matchup to open the season, taking on a Philadelphia 76ers team that ranked 26th in defensive rating and allowed top-10 fantasy production to point guards last season.
