LeBron James, SF, Cleveland Cavaliers

FanDuel Price: $10,100

LeBron James is averaging a shade over 50 FanDuel points per game over his last 15, and has fewer than 45 fantasy points in only one of his last seven games. Those numbers are already pretty appealing at only $10,100, but what makes him an especially strong play is his matchup.

He will be playing up in pace against the Portland Trail Blazers, who have been a great team to target all season. Portland combines their high pace with the league's worst defensive rating, while ranking 24th in offensive rebound rate and 20th in defensive rebound rate.

They have allowed the league's third-most fantasy points per game to opposing small forwards and the most to power forwards. With his ability to contribute big numbers in points, rebounds and assists (averaging 26.3, 7.8 and 8.2 per game this season), LeBron matches up incredibly well with the Blazers.
