3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 1/15/19

Russell Westbrook, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder

Price: $12,000

You're not going to find a much better matchup for Russell Westbrook than taking on the Atlanta Hawks.

The Hawks play at the fastest pace in the NBA while also ranking only 24th in defensive rating, 21st in rebound rate and turning the ball over at the highest rate in the league. Combining those factors has them allowing the most points, most assists, 12th-most rebounds and most steals per game.

Westbrook is averaging 21.4 points to go with career-high clips in all of assists (10.6), rebounds (10.8) and steals (2.5) per game this season. Filling up the box score in all of those areas should be no problem against the Hawks.

He's showing a great floor, with 50-plus FanDuel points in 15 of his last 20 games as well as solid upside, going for 60-plus in 6 of those games and 70-plus in 2 of them. He's the most expensive player on tonight's slate, and he's well worth paying up for in all formats.
