3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 4/5/19

Russell Westbrook, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder

Price: $12,000

With a ridiculous 13 games on tap tonight, we have no shortage of options to pay up for. Still, none are priced above $12,000, and only two are priced above even $10,900.

That means if you're paying up to the top, you're deciding between Russell Westbrook and James Harden.

Both the Oklahoma City Thunder and Houston Rockets are playing for playoff seeding, so they have some incentive to give their starters significant minutes. There's some blowout risk with Westbrook, as the Thunder are 10.5-point favorites against the Detroit Pistons, but the risk is far worse for Harden and the Rockets, who are 16.5-point favorites against the New York Knicks.

Westbrook's last seven games have seen him play an average of 37.8 minutes, and he's seen at least 35.7 in each of them. That's even with three games decided by at least 10 points, and includes a 16-point blowout win in which he still played 36.8. Unless this game gets really out of hand, he should be in for some solid run.

And of course, when Westbrook is getting solid run, he's as strong a fantasy producer as anyone, sitting as one of only four players averaging at least 55 FanDuel points per game on the year.
