LeBron James, SF, Cleveland Cavaliers

FanDuel Price: $9,600

LeBron James isn't quite the lock for solid production that a lot of high-priced players are, and we've seen him slowed down in a few tough matchups this year. With that said, he is still averaging a strong 46.0 FanDuel points per game -- his highest mark since the 2012-13 season.

His scoring numbers are down a bit as he's dropping in 23.9 points per game, but he's doing more elsewhere. LeBron's 9.2 assists per game are a career-best mark, and his 7.7 rebounds per game are on pace to be the fourth-highest mark of his career. He also has a 29.3% usage rate in 36.6 minutes per game, so volume isn't likely to be an issue with him.

While the New York Knicks actually represent a slight step down in pace for the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Knicks check in 27th in defensive rating and have allowed the league's 11th-most fantasy points per game to opposing small forwards -- making this a solid spot for LeBron.
