FanDuel DFS Guards

Russell Westbrook - PG, at MEM ($12,500)

Westbrook is an elite option every time he steps on the court. He can triple double in any game, and he's the focal point of the Thunder offense. He has scored at least 55 fantasy points in each of his last six games, including two games with more than 70 fantasy points. He gets a matchup against the Grizzlies tonight, and Westbrook can be used in all leagues.

Norman Powell - SG, at PHO ($3,500)

It is the second game of a back-to-back set for the Raptors, which means DeMarre Carroll will likely sit out tonight. Norman Powell will likely draw the start for him, and he comes with an extremely low price tag. Powell has scored 35.1, 36.6, and 27.4 fantasy points in his last three starts. He also gets a great matchup against the Suns tonight, and Powell can be used in all leagues once he's announced as the starter.

Also Consider: Marcus Smart - PG, at CLE ($4,900)

FanDuel DFS Forwards

LeBron James - SF, vs BOS ($10,300)

James is expected to return to the lineup tonight, which makes him a great option. He has scored at least 50 fantasy points in five of his last eight games, but he wasn't a slouch in the other three games either. He gets a matchup against the Celtics tonight, and this is the type of game that James likes to make statements in. He can be used in all leagues.

Enes Kanter - PF, at MEM ($5,400)

Kanter has seen increased playing time recently, as he has played at least 29 minutes in three of his last four games. He has also scored at least 29 fantasy points in each of those four games. He's an elite player when he's on the court, but he tends to struggle defensively, which is why he isn't always locked into big minutes. Kanter should have another big role for the Thunder tonight, and he's a great option on this slate.

Also Consider:  Harrison Barnes - SF, at LAL ($6,300)

FanDuel DFS Centers

Rudy Gobert - C, vs PHI ($7,500)

Gobert has been a consistent double double recently, as he has double doubled in 11 consecutive games. He also comes with great blocking upside. He has been playing extremely well recently, and he gets a great matchup against the Sixers, who will be without Joel Embiid tonight. Gobert is playing well enough to be used in all leagues.

Also Consider: Jahlil Okafor - C, at UTA ($4,600)
