Russell Westbrook, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder

FanDuel Price: $12,600

With such a crazy-high salary, Russell Westbrook can be hard to fit into your lineup, but he's as close to a lock for a big fantasy day as you're ever going to see.

His worst fantasy performance over the last month was 49.9 FanDuel points, and he has averaged an absurd 61.0 per game in that span, with 11 triple-doubles in those 15 games. This success has him on pace for the highest-scoring fantasy season in league history.

He brings that into a great matchup tonight, taking on the Portland Trail Blazers, who are playing at the league's eighth-fastest pace and rank dead-last in defensive rating. Portland has also struggled on the glass, ranking bottom-11 in both offensive and defensive rebound rate.

Combining Westbrook's absurd production with a good matchup like this makes him the top fantasy option on the slate, though you will have to pay way up and find some value plays if you want to fit him into your lineup tonight.
