Russell Westbrook, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder

FanDuel Price: $10,500

We haven't seen much of the ridiculous Russell Westbrook that we became accustomed to last year, but don't let that overshadow how good his numbers are this year. He's still flirting with a triple-double on a nightly basis, averaging 20.1 points, 10.9 assists and 9.3 rebounds per game. His .480 effective field goal percentage is up a few points from last year's mark, and his rate stats are still great -- 31.7% usage rate, 15.3% rebound rate and league-high 54.3% assist rate.

Russ has shown a great floor for fantasy scoring, with better than 45 FanDuel points in 7 of his 10 games. He already owns a 66-fantasy-point outing this season, so the ceiling is still there.

His matchup tonight is a terrific one. The Oklahoma City Thunder will be playing up in pace against the Denver Nuggets. Denver ranks 18th in defensive rating while also allowing top-five fantasy production to opposing point guards.

numberFire's models are also incredibly high on Westbrook tonight, projecting him for a triple-double and making the day's top-ranked fantasy option.
