3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 2/22/18

Russell Westbrook, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder

Price: $12,000

Not quite as exciting as James -- especially while sporting a higher price tag -- you still can't completely look past Russell Westbrook in a matchup as strong as tonight's against the Kings.

Sacramento allows above-average fantasy production to opponents at all five positions, thanks in part to allowing the third-most points, sixth-most rebounds, fifth-most assists and sixth-most steals per 100 possessions. Nobody is more capable of taking advantage of a matchup like this than Westbrook.

His 17 triple-doubles are more than the second- and third-ranked players combined, and he boasts a .518 true shooting percentage on a 34.7% usage rate, a 14.5% rebound rate, and a league-leading 51.4% assist rate.

A matchup like this generally carries some blowout risk. That's certainly a possibility tonight, but the Oklahoma City Thunder aren't massive favorites, with a 7.5-point spread. Westbrook's upside in a close game is as high as anyone's on the slate.
