3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 2/1/18
The Nuggets have been a great fantasy matchup for point guards, putting Russell Westbrook in a dreamy spot. Which other high-priced players should be on your radar tonight?

Russell Westbrook, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder

Price: $12,300

He's coming off a down game, but Russell Westbrook has been putting up some very "Russell Westbrook" numbers lately, exploding for at least 62 FanDuel points in four of his last six games and averaging 59.0 per game in that stretch. Only one other player had four games of at least 62 FanDuel points in all of January.

Russ' ability to fill up every area of the stat-sheet doesn't need a ton of introduction, and with a 51.6% true shooting percentage, 35.2% usage rate, 14.8% rebound rate and league-leading 50.2% assist rate, it's no surprise that he's a triple-double threat every night.

The Denver Nuggets are not a team that is likely to slow him down, either. They rank in the bottom-10 in defensive rating this season while also allowing the 8th-most assists per game to opponents. Westbrook may not be able to do as much damage on the glass as he usually does, with Denver being one of the league's better rebounding teams, but the Nuggets are allowing the fourth-most FanDuel points per game to opposing point guards, so this is a great spot for the Oklahoma City Thunder star.
