3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 1/4/19
Karl-Anthony Towns is showing ridiculous fantasy upside of late, and he's not likely to slow down against the Magic. Which other high-priced players should be on your radar on Friday?

Russell Westbrook, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder

Price: $11,600

Doing typical Russell Westbrook things, Brodie has 11 triple-doubles in 22 games since returning from injury in mid-November.

In that time, he ranks fourth in the NBA with 54.4 FanDuel points per game, averaging 19.6 points, 11.7 rebounds, 10.5 assists and 2.9 steals in 35.6 minutes per game. His minutes are up recently, playing 37.0 per game over his last five, and he has more games with at least 60 FanDuel points (two) than those with fewer than 54 (one) in that stretch.

Tonight's matchup isn't anything special, as the Portland Trail Blazers rank a middling 16th in defensive rating and 17th in pace, but Westbrook continues to be priced short of his production levels. We've seen the league's top fantasy producers consistently priced in the $12,000 range this year, and we get Russ at a discount tonight.
