Russell Westbrook, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder

Price: $11,900

Russell Westbrook confirmed on Wednesday that his short slump had been nothing to be concerned about. He dropped 30 points, flirted with a triple-double, and posted 56.1 FanDuel points against Dallas.

Since February 1st, Russ boasts a 31.6% usage rate, a 46.2% assist rate, and a 15.1% total rebound rate. Those usage and assist marks are actually down from his season average but still rank among the elite, and his 1.40 FanDuel points per minute in that stretch still ranks in the top-10. Additionally, his production is also bolstered by an uptick in playing time, averaging 37.4 minutes per game.

He also draws a primo matchup tonight against Phoenix. The Suns' combination of a top-five pace and league-worst defensive rating have them allowing top-four fantasy production to opponents at both guard positions. They also allow the league's third-most rebounds per game, and with Westbrook's ability to fill up every area of the stat sheet, he has some absurd upside in this one.
