3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 12/12/18
Russell Westbrook has elite upside in a prime matchup against the Pelicans. What other high-priced players should be on your radar?

Price: $11,500

Not quite priced on the top tier of studs on tonight's 11-game slate, Russell Westbrook is a bargain on Wednesday.

His 52.1 FanDuel points per game are the third-most in the NBA, and in 10 games since returning from his most recent injury, he's averaging 53.5 per. He has topped 60 points in 4 of those 10 and has at least 65 in 2 of his last 3.

His minutes are down this season, with his 33.6 per game representing his fewest since the 2013-14 season, but he's still averaging a triple-double, with 22.1 points, 10.6 rebounds and 10.2 assists to go with 2.0 steals per game.

Tonight's matchup with the New Orleans Pelicans puts him in an outstanding spot to build on those numbers.

The Pels have played at the league's third-fastest pace this season, which they combine with a 24th-ranked defensive rating. They're allowing opponents the third-most points, fifth-most assists and fourth-most steals per game, and nobody gives up more FanDuel points per minute to opposing point guards.
