With the NBA season less than a week old, there isn’t a lot of stats and numbers that carry significant meaning yet. So, early in the season, I’ll admit, I do a little bit of box score chasing, while also keeping a close eye on injury news to see if any value opens ups so we can go with more of a “Stars and Scars” approach to lineup construction. That is the exact method I’m looking to deploy on Monday’s big 11-game slate on DraftKings.

Russell Westbrook (PG – HOU): $9,400 vs. OKC
Westbrook and James Harden are still trying to find their way working together in the Rockets backcourt but that hasn’t stopped Westbrook from still averaging a triple-double through the first two games while putting up over 60 DraftKings points in each outing. Monday night he will play his first game against his former team, the Thunder. While I’m not sure you can really call it a revenge game, I do expect Westbrook to have a little extra juice on his way to another triple-double which will far exceed the value for his very reasonable $9,400 salary.
