Point Guard

Russell Westbrook vs Raptors: $56

When it comes to extremely high fantasy floors, Westbrook continues to be one the safest sources of fantasy points in the league. The issue lately though is that the Thunder have not needed him to go crazy out there to secure wins. He has only scored over 50 fantasy points once in his last six games. On a four-game slate, you have to take him cash, and the tournament upside is definitely there also in a game against the Raptors who lead in the East. Westbrook tends to show up against the top teams and had 58 fantasy points against this Raptors squad earlier this year. Keep an eye on the news feeds for information on Kyrie Irving. If he remains out Rozier will be someone you are going to want to fit in today.
