Russell Westbrook, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder

DraftKings Price: $10,900

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook only scored 38.25 DraftKings points in his lone meeting against the New Orleans Pelicans this season. But you should never look at just the surface.

Westbrook only played 25 minutes in that game, exiting early due to an injured ankle. Don't let that change your decision about using him this evening because he represents one of the highest upside plays of the night.

Forgetting that game, Westbrook has scored at least 63.5 DraftKings points in all but one of his meetings against the Pelicans over the past two years. He scored a paltry 53.25 in the other.

Needless to say, his history against the Pelicans is strong, and we should be in for a fantasy-friendly game tonight with a total set at 234.5, the highest on the slate. We have him projected as the third-highest fantasy scorer of the night, but it wouldn't take much to see him take over that top spot.
