3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 3/25/19

Russell Westbrook, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder

DraftKings Price: $10,900

Russell Westbrook is almost always a candidate for your top-priced player of the night. But tonight, with a short slate and the Oklahoma City Thunder going up against the Memphis Grizzlies, Brodie's ceiling is sky-high.

On paper, the Grizzlies aren't the best of matchups, giving up the seventh-fewest DraftKings points per game (45.08) to the position, according to FantasyPros. They are also dead last in pace and limit their opponents to 105.2 points per game -- second in the NBA.

In the teams' two matchups in OKC, Westbrook has tallied 66.25 and 45.00 DraftKings points in wins of 22 and 4 points, respectively. In the most recent one, he had only six boards and five assists, which limited him to what is basically his fantasy floor. Coming off performances of 66.25 and 66.5 fantasy points against the Raptors, look for him to be closer to his ceiling tonight.

Westbrook's Thunder are third on the slate with a 112.25 implied total, which has a lot to do with the Grizzlies' pace (99.23) and defensive rating (110.5) increasing to season-highs for the month of March. Our projections have him as Monday's top scorer on DraftKings.
