3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 1/3/18

Russell Westbrook, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder

Price: $12,300

Russell Westbrook had something of a quiet start to the season, but his production has picked up in a big way, and he's posting some ridiculous numbers.

He has 10 games with at least 60 FanDuel points since November 20, which is more than all but two other plays have posted over the entire season. He has also been hugely consistent recently, with no fewer than 57.5 FanDuel points in any of his last eight games -- his 63.5 per game in that stretch is reminiscent of the number he put up in his 2016-17 MVP campaign.

The Los Angeles Lakers aren't much of a threat to slow him down tonight, despite their solid defensive rating and rebound rate. They're playing at the league's fastest pace, allowing the second-most points, 13th-most assists, third-most rebounds and sixth-most steals per game to opponents -- conceding top-six fantasy numbers to point guards.
