3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 1/9/18
Leading the league in fantasy production over the past month, Russell Westbrook continues to offer elite upside. Which other high-priced NBA players should be on your DFS radar on Tuesday?

Russell Westbrook, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder

Price: $11,800

Russell Westbrook is priced way above anyone else on a short four-game slate, as he's only player north of even $10,000. With his upside, though, he's well worth paying up for.

Westbrook hasn't posted fewer than 45 FanDuel points in any of the last 16 games he's played. He topped the 60-point mark four times in that stretch, while only falling below 50 three times. His 58.6 FanDuel points per game over the past month is the NBA's best.

That month has seen him looking a lot like the MVP version of himself we got last year, averaging a triple-double with 27.8 points, 10.7 assists, and 10.2 rebounds per game.

The Portland Trail Blazers aren't a particularly good matchup because of their strong defensive rating and low fantasy production allowed, but on a short slate where Westbrook is the only true stud, his unmatched upside means we can look past that concern.
