3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 11/7/17

Russell Westbrook, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder

Price: $10,200

While his scoring and usage are predictably down this year, Russell Westbrook has still been posting some terrific numbers, averaging 20.1 points, a league-high 11.4 assists and 9.0 rebounds in 34.0 minutes per game. His usage rate still sits at a very strong 31.3%, accompanying his 15.0% rebound rate and league-leading 55.7% assist rate.

Russ has been a consistent fantasy producer this year, too, with at least 39 FanDuel points in seven of nine games, and he has shown that his ceiling is still there with a 66-fantasy-point game to his name.

Despite the Sacramento Kings playing at the league's slowest pace this season, there's still room for great fantasy production in this matchup.

The Kings rank 28th in defensive rating and 29th in rebound rate. They are allowing the league's third-most assists and second-most three-point attempts per 100 possessions, while also surrendering the fourth-highest three-point percentage. With Westbrook's ability to fill it up with points, rebounds and assists, the Kings allowing big numbers in all three areas make him hard to ignore.
