Russell Westbrook, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder

FanDuel Price: $11,800:

If you've been following the NBA at all this season, you probably don't need a ton of introduction to Russell Westbrook's absurd production. He's averaging better than a triple-double (30.9 points, 10.7 assists, 10.5 rebounds) per game, and leads the league with 57.5 FanDuel points per game. His 41.8% usage rate is also on pace to be the highest mark in NBA history.

He has been especially good recently, averaging 59.5 FanDuel points in only 32.4 minutes per game over his last eight.

The Milwaukee Bucks' season-long defensive numbers are decent, but they have been struggling as of late, ranking only 21st in defensive rating over the last two weeks. Westbrook is unsurprisingly our top-projected fantasy option of the day, and being a nightly triple-double threat regardless of matchup, he has huge upside in a spot like this against a struggling defense.
