LeBron James, SF, Cleveland Cavaliers

FanDuel Price: $11,200

Few players were seeing the kind of workload that LeBron James was before the All-Star break. He has averaged 38.8 minutes per game in his last 15 outings while playing at least 40 minutes in 5 of those games. With Kevin Love still out, we can expect LeBron to continue playing a huge role.

In eight games with Love sidelined this season, James' minutes haven't changed much (going from 37.5 per game with Love to 37.7 per game without), but he has been more efficient from a fantasy standpoint, going from 47.5 FanDuel points per game with Love to 51.0 per game without him.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have the slate's second-highest implied total tonight against a New York Knicks team that ranks 25th in defensive rating. In three games against the Knicks this season, LeBron is averaging 25.3 points, 10.3 assists and 7.3 rebounds per game (including a triple-double in their first meeting), and he should be in for another strong showing tonight.
