3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 11/1/18
Russell Westbrook's playing time is trending up, giving him the absurd fantasy upside we're used to seeing.

Price: $12,000

While we haven't seen Russell Westbrook notch a triple-double yet this season, he has shown us that he's still a nightly threat to do just that.

He has double-digit points in every game (averaging 25.0), double-digit rebounds in two games (averaging 10.0), and no fewer than seven assists in any of his games (averaging 7.8). He's also adding a combined 2.0 steals and blocks per game, and he has hit 50 FanDuel points in three of his four contests.

This all despite the fact that he has eclipsed 33.5 minutes in only one of his four games. The Thunder seem to be easing him back into things, and while he played only 33.5 in his last game, he was actually on pace to top 36 for the first time this year, but he was pulled with three minutes left in the game as the Thunder had a blowout win locked up.

The fact that Westbrook hasn't seen huge minutes yet has held his salary in check despite his terrific efficiency, and with the promising workload in his last outing, tonight gives you the chance to get out ahead of the salary increase that will likely come with his expanded playing time.
