3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 1/12/18
LeBron James, SF/PF, Cleveland Cavaliers
DraftKings Salary: $11,500
LeBron James has disappointed in consecutive games, thanks to the fact that the Cleveland Cavaliers have lost by a combined 62 points. This game should stay a lot more competitive, as the Cavs are favored by just 2.5 points. The over/under (221 points) is the slate's third-highest mark, while the Cavs have the fourth-highest implied team total.
James has played in 15 games with an over/under of 220 or more this season. In 12 that have remained competitive (within 20 points), LeBron has averaged a whopping 65.3 DraftKings points. One of said games was against this Pacers team, in which he put up 60 DraftKings points. He's gone for over 60 in both meetings with Indiana this season and could very well put up another one tonight.
There are a ton of studs to love on this slate, but few that are more appealing than James. Don't let his two most recent duds scare you off -- he is worth a look in any format.
