3 NBA FanDuel Studs for 10/25/16
LeBron James begins the season with a great matchup against the New York Knicks. Which other high-priced players should you target on opening night?

LeBron James, SF, Cleveland Cavaliers

FanDuel Price: $9,600

LeBron James finished last season ranked 6th in the NBA with 45.1 FanDuel points per game, and he kicks off this season with a matchup against a New York Knicks team that finished last year ranked 22nd in defensive rating. The Knicks also finished the 2015-2016 season in the bottom half of the league in both offensive and defensive rebound rate.

Last season, James posted a strong 31.4% usage rate -- good for 8th among players that averaged at least 15 minutes per game -- while he posted an 11.8% total rebound rate, 36.0% assist rate and 58.8% true shooting percentage that were all above his career averages.

Cleveland has the second-highest implied total on the slate, and we project LeBron for the most FanDuel points of anyone on the slate.
