3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 11/5/18

Russell Westbrook, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder

Price: $12,000

With the huge over/under in the Pelicans-Thunder matchup, OKC sitting as 4.5-point favorites leaves them with the day's highest implied total -- a whopping 121.25.

The Thunder rank seventh in the NBA in pace this season, and this is one of the few matchups in which they will be playing up in pace as the Pelicans rank 5th. New Orleans ranks 25th in defensive rating while sitting 6th in offensive rating, so they are always prone to getting into a shootout.

On a per-48 minute basis, the Pels have also allowed the league's most fantasy points to opposing point guards. In all, you can't ask for a much better spot for Russell Westbrook.

Westbrook's 52.5 FanDuel points per game rank fourth in the NBA this season, and he's one of only five players averaging at least 50. He was seeing some reduced minutes in his first few games this season, but he's topped 55 FanDuel points in each of the last three games. And even with those reduced minutes, he has failed to hit the 50-FanDuel-point barrier in only one of six.

Our models have it close between Westbrook and Davis, but we project Westbrook for Monday's highest fantasy score.
