Russell Westbrook, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder

FanDuel Price: $13,000

Russell Westbrook has been absolutely unstoppable recently, with 60-plus FanDuel points in each of his last nine games, excluding a 22-point blowout loss to the Washington Wizards in which he played just 24 minutes. If we throw that game out, he has maintained a 64.3-FanDuel-point average. Counting last night's 45-point outburst, he's topped 40 points in three straight games.

He'll look to build on his recent hot streak in an excellent matchup against the Phoenix Suns. The Oklahoma City Thunder are projected to outscore their season average by 8.5 points, which should come as no surprise given Phoenix's 27th-ranked defensive efficiency and third-ranked pace of play. Both Oklahoma City's 115-point implied team total and the 226-point over/under are the highest on the slate.

Not only will Westbrook benefit from a beautiful game script, he also draws an advantageous matchup against Eric Bledsoe, whose defensive real plus-minus (DRPM) of -1.03 ranks 56th among point guards. Even at his restrictive salary, Westbrook could pay off every penny in this up-tempo game.
