3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 11/3/17

Russell Westbrook, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder

Price: $10,600

The Boston Celtics haven't been giving up much fantasy production to point guards, but the year is young, and with a defensive liability in Kyrie Irving (who ranked a not-so-nice 69th among 79 point guards in ESPN's defensive real plus-minus metric last season) at the point, this isn't likely to hold up. This matchup remains a good one for point guards despite the way the year has started.

Russell Westbrook's minutes have been limited in his last two games, but both of those were blowouts, and his price tag reflects numbers he was posting on a much smaller than usual workload. This game isn't likely to be a blowout with Oklahoma City favored by six, so we can expect Westbrook's minutes to get back up around the 35.6 per game he averaged through his first five contests.

His production typically speaks for itself. He's flirting with averaging a triple-double per game again (19.6 points, 11.7 assists and 9.9 rebounds per game) while sporting a 30.2% usage rate, 56.7% assist rate and 17.0% rebound rate. It's not often you're going to get him with such a low price tag, especially when he has massive upside in a matchup like tonight's.
