Russell Westbrook, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder

DraftKings Price: $11,100

February has traditionally been a solid month for Russell Westbrook, and this year is no different. Westbrook has averaged 50.7 DraftKings points in his career in February, his most for any full month (he does average 52.3 in October).

That number pales in comparison to the 66.7 DraftKings points he's averaging this February, the highest average in the league this month. It should, thus, come as little surprise that our models have him projected to be the highest scoring player on tonight's limited six-game slate.

Westbrook struggled in his only meeting against the Philadelphia 76ers this season, though that was an aberration if you look at his history against the team. He had scored at least 58.75 DraftKings points in his seven previous contests against them, including 70-plus three times.

While we don't have him projected for 70-plus tonight (not saying he can't get there), our models do still peg him for a very respectable 59.4 DraftKings points. If you want an anchor for your lineups tonight, Westbrook is as good as it gets.
