Russell Westbrook, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder

FanDuel Price: $13,500

Russell Westbrook is officially in elite company -- with a triple-double in 11 of his last 14 games, the Oklahoma City Thunder point guard is tied with Oscar Robertson for the single-season record (41). Over those last 14 games, he is averaging 30.6 points, 11.4 rebounds, 12.3 assists, and 2.0 steals.

Consistently stuffing the stat sheet has also translated into big fantasy numbers, with nine games of 60-plus FanDuel points and an average of 62.0 FanDuel points per night. With a trip to Phoenix and the woeful Suns on the docket for Friday, Brodie has a great chance of setting history and justifying his outrageous price tag.

The Suns play at the second-fastest pace but also own the third-worst defense, according to defensive efficiency. This has led to the Thunder-Suns game to having the second-highest over/under of the night with the Thunder owning the second-highest implied total at 118.0. Those are games Westbrook has excelled in.

By using the Rotoviz game splits app, we see Russ has scored over 68 FanDuel points per game in similar game scripts. That is a nine-point jump over his season average.

In three games against Phoenix this year, Westbrook has been at his best with an average of 79.2 FanDuel points. That would put him near 6x value even at his enormous price tag on Friday.
