LeBron James, SF, Cleveland Cavaliers

Price: $12,200

LeBron James is coming off a very weak fantasy showing in his last game, but he played only 27.3 minutes of action (by far a season-low) in that one. The Cleveland Cavaliers got out to a massive lead early and he simply wasn't needed. It's worth noting that it was still a great performance efficiency-wise, as he averaged a strong 1.5 FanDuel points per minute.

LeBron is generally a guy we can count on for a huge workload, too. That was his first time playing fewer than 36 minutes in a game since October 28th. The King is averaging 37.9 minutes per game this season, the most in the NBA.

Tonight's matchup is as good as it gets -- the Brooklyn Nets. They rank bottom-five in defensive rating while playing at the league's fastest pace, along with allowing the second-most fantasy points per game to both forward positions.

There is some blowout risk again in this one, but the Cavs' 118.75-point implied total is the day's highest, giving LeBron a ridiculous ceiling.
