Russell Westbrook, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder

FanDuel Price: $13,100

It's a good thing the regular season is winding down, because I'm running out of ways to describe just how absurd Russell Westbrook's fantasy numbers have been.

Not only are his 58.3 FanDuel points per game the most in the league this season, but that mark is on pace to be the highest single-season mark since before the 1984-85 season. His 37 triple-doubles in 72 games played and overall per-game average of a triple-double are obviously ridiculous marks.

His volume has also been unprecedented. He owns a 41.6% usage rate that is on pace to be the highest in league history, and his 56.7% assist rate is on pace to rank third in league history.

We don't have many great matchups for today's high-priced players. In a matchup with an Orlando Magic team that ranks among the bottom 10 in defensive rating this month and has allowed top-10 fantasy production to point guards on the year, our models project Westbrook as the top fantasy scorer on the slate by a big margin.
