Freedman’s Favorite Fantasy Point Prop for Monday, Jan. 21: Russell Westbrook Over/Under 55.5 

• Over: +140
• Under: -180

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day!

This is a bonus prop for today, in addition to Roman Josi vs. Tyson Barrie.

Today's great NBA slate tips off with the Knicks-Thunder game (12:30 p.m. ET, NBATV), and Oklahoma City guard Russell Westbrook is catching me eye.

This line is notably off. In the FantasyLabs NBA Models, we have Westbrook projected for 58.2 fantasy points (FanDuel scoring).

At 55.5, I’d bet it to +100. At +140, I’d bet it to 57.5.

The Pick: Over (+140)
