Daily Fantasy Basketball Game Scripts to Target on 3/2/17

Russell Westbrook, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder

FanDuel Price: $12,800

Russell Westbrook has been on an absolute tear recently, topping 60 FanDuel points in each of his last eight games (outside of a 22-point blowout loss to the Washington Wizards in which he played just 24 minutes). He has triple-doubled in every game since the All-Star Break and now has five triple-doubles in his last eight games.

Excluding the blowout loss, he has maintained a 64.9-FanDuel-point average during that eight-game stretch.

Tonight, he and the Oklahoma City Thunder are 1.0-point favorites against the Portland Trail Blazers, in the game with the second-highest over/under on the slate (219.5 points). OKC is projected for 110.25 points, which is nearly four points above their season scoring average.

Per the RotoViz Game Splits App, Westbrook has averaged 59.5 FanDuel points when the Thunder are projected for at least 105 points, as opposed to 50.6 in all other games. With an over/under above 210, he's averaged 58.5 FanDuel points.

The Blazers have decent numbers against point guards, but Damian Lillard is far from a strong defender, ranking 73rd among point guards with a -2.03 defensive real plus-minus (DRPM).

Given the matchup, Westbrook's play of late and the favorable game script, it would be surprising if he wasn't the highest scorer on tonight's slate.
