3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 1/4/18
Our models project Russell Westbrook as the night's top DFS scorer. Which other high-priced players should be on your radar for the two-game slate?

Russell Westbrook, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder

Price: $12,500

The Los Angeles Clippers-Oklahoma City Thunder matchup isn't nearly as exciting as Rockets/Warriors, but Russell Westbrook's absurd production is hard to ignore on such a short slate.

Yesterday's 46.2 FanDuel points was only the fourth time over the past month that Westbrook has posted fewer than 50 fantasy points in a game, and none of those four games saw him post fewer than 45. His 58.8 FanDuel points per game in that span are the most in the NBA by a fairly significant margin -- nearly 7% higher than anyone else's mark. Of course, Russ filling up every area of the box score is nothing new, and he's averaging 24.7 points, a league-leading 10.1 assists, 9.5 rebounds and 2.0 steals per game on the year.

The Clippers don't represent a great matchup, but on such a short slate you can't be overly picky about matchups, and our models still project Westbrook as the day's top fantasy scorer.
