3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 1/22/19

Russell Westbrook, PG, Oklahoma City

DraftKings Price: $11,000

With only four games on the slate tonight, it's not surprising that there are few true stud options on the table, but one clearly stands above the rest. Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook is one of only two players on tonight's slate with a five-figure salary, and he's the only one with a per-game average of more than 50.0 DraftKings points (56.6).

Westbrook gets to face a familiar foe this evening in the division-rival Portland Trail Blazers. Russ put up 31 points, 9 boards, and 7 assists when the two teams met for the first time this season, a 111-109 Thunder victory. The performance was as steady as it always is against Portland, against whom Russ has scored more than 50.0 DraftKings points in eight straight and 14 of his past 16 games.

The game has only the third-highest projected total of the night, but that's really just splitting hairs as it's still set at 227.0 points, so the daily fantasy points should be piling up with ease. We have Russ continuing his recent success against Portland, projecting him for 54.2 DraftKings points.
