Russell Westbrook, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder

FanDuel Price: $12,400

Russell Westbrook has six of the 13 highest single-game FanDuel scores recorded by a player in the past month. He has topped 60 FanDuel points eight times in that span, while only two other players have managed eight different 60-point games over the whole season.

Nobody comes close to the consistent upside Westbrook offers, and that unique production means even an incredibly high salary like this shouldn't often scare you away.

The Chicago Bulls have been stout against point guards, but a large part of that appears to have been due to Rajon Rondo's capable defense. Since Michael Carter-Williams took over as the starter, the Bulls have allowed at least 40 FanDuel points to a point guard in three of their four games, with two of those performances having been for at least 55 fantasy points.

The only point guard Carter-Williams has kept in check from a fantasy standpoint was Kay Felder, and he's obviously not quite as dangerous as Westbrook, who has a good chance to once again stuff the stat sheet.
