Russell Westbrook, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder

Price: $10,400

First and foremost, before you lock him in, make sure Russell Westbrook isn't getting the night off for rest. The Thunder are locked in as the 3 seed in the west, but head coach Billy Donovan has shown a willingness to play his guys anyway, playing Kevin Durant for 40 minutes in a meaningless game on Saturday.

If Westbrook does play, even having his minutes potentially limited shouldn't scare us off too much. He ranks first among players averaging at least 10 minutes per game this season with 1.4 FanDuel points per minute. Over the past month, he's averaging 46.2 FanDuel points per game, with 21.4 points, 10.1 assists and 8.7 rebounds per game while sporting a 31.2 percent Usage Rate.

It's as easy a matchup as exists for Westbrook tonight against the Lakers. Los Angeles has the worst Defensive Rating in the league this season, and they're also giving up the most fantasy points per game to opposing point guards.

Again, make sure you check for news on Westbrook's status for tonight, but if he's in he's playing, then he offers massive fantasy upside.
