Russell Westbrook, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder

DraftKings Salary: $11,200

Russell Westbrook is the other truly top-end dude who is worth a look, as his game actually should remain competitive. His price tag requries 56 DraftKings points of him, which he has reached in each of his past five games. He has averaged 62.4 DraftKings points during that time, on the back of an elite 35.4% usage rate.

A matchup against Kyle Lowry isn't one we normally go out of our way to attack, but Westbrook had no issue with the Toronto Raptors last year. He averaged 63.4 DraftKings points in two meetings with Toronto and could certainly put up similar numbers tonight with the Raps on the back end of a back-to-back.

Westbrook isn't a lock for cash games due to the number of appealing guard plays on this slate, but he is a viable play in any format.
