3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 12/14/18

Russell Westbrook, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder

DraftKings Price: $10,800

The Thunder, of course, aren't going to let Jokic single-handedly beat them. They'll put out all the stops, and that includes releasing the energetic Russell Westbrook upon the Nuggets.

While Westbrook's scoring is down to 22.0 points per game this season (the lowest it's been since the 2013-14 season), he's amazingly on pace to average a triple-double for the third season in a row. He will not be stopped, least of all against a team he's regularly dominated in his career.

Westbrook has scored 65 or more DraftKings points against Denver in six out of his past nine games against them, including four games over 70, and three over 80. While one can't ever really predict those massive games, he should at least get all the minutes he'll need tonight to make that happen.

The Thunder are two-point favorites tonight in a game with a decently high total of 218.5. This should be a close game in which Westbrook is heavily involved. We have him projected for 51.0 DraftKings points tonight. As we all know, however, he could blow past that in a heartbeat.
