3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 2/7/19

Russell Westbrook, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder

Price: $11,300

Our models are super high on Russell Westbrook tonight, pegging him to post 59.4 DraftKings points, which (as of early Thursday afternoon) is nearly nine points more than anyone else on the slate. He's the best point-per-dollar value, among players price at $7,500 or above, per our projections.

We've almost become immune to Russ' triple-doubles, but the dude has seven straight. He hasn't posted a single-game usage rate below 26.0% since December 14th, a span of 26 games.

Playing at home against a bare-bones Memphis Grizzlies squad, the only real concern here is Westbrook's minutes being limited by a blowout as the Oklahoma City Thunder are 13.5-point favorites, the biggest of the night. But Russ has logged fewer than 30 minutes just twice since the start of December -- and both of those were 28-minute outings -- so unless things really get lopsided early tonight, he should at least see close to the 36.3 minutes for which we have him projected.
