3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 11/22/17
Marc Gasol has been hot lately, which should continue in a favorable matchup against the Dallas Mavericks. Which other high-priced studs should you consider for NBA DFS contests on Wednesday?

LeBron James, SF, Cleveland Cavaliers

DraftKings Salary: $11,500

Giannis Antetokounmpo had a wonderful matchup against the Phoenix Suns, but his sore knee will keep him out of the lineup, so we'll roll with LeBron James ($11,300) against the Brooklyn Nets. Brooklyn has played at the league's quickest pace, and the Cleveland Cavaliers have a slate-leading implied team total of 119.25 points.

Over their last five games, the Nets have allowed an average of 47.6 FanDuel points to opposing small forwards, the sixth-most in the league. And James will have no problem taking advantage of that, considering he's played 36-plus minutes in 11 of his last 12 games, He's also topped 40 minutes in 7 of his 17 outings.

For all of their issues, Brooklyn keeps their games close -- the spread in their last seven games has been less than double-digits -- thus lessening the blowout factor. James is a high floor/high ceiling play in all formats.
