Russell Westbrook, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder

Price: $11,000

On the other side of that Thunder/Warriors matchup that we want to be targeting is Russel Westbrook. Like I mentioned for Curry, the Warriors and Thunder are the highest scoring teams in the league, and this game should be played at a very high pace, making for lots of possessions for both teams.

Westbrook is second only to Curry over the past month with 53.4 FanDuel points per game, and is averaging 25.8 points, 12.3 assists and 8.0 rebounds per game in that span with a 29.6 percent Usage Rate. He's also the league leader with 2.2 steals per game on the season.

The Warriors are a strong defensive team, and rank sixth in the league in Defensive Efficiency, but because of their fast pace, they're actually giving up the ninth most points per game. And more importantly for Westbrook's sake, are giving up the fourth most fantasy points per game to opposing point guards.

Our projections have Westbrook finishing just behind Curry in fantasy scoring tonight, and if this game stays close, they're both capable of putting up some jaw-dropping numbers.
