LeBron James, SF/PF, Cleveland Cavaliers

DraftKings Salary: $11,900

LeBron James' price seems a bit excessive. He needs 59.5 DraftKings points to reach value at this price, which seems like a lot until you take a look at his recent game log. James has topped 60 DraftKings points in eight straight games with a ceiling of 74.25.

He will attempt to keep that streak alive tonight against a Chicago Bulls team that is ranked in the bottom 10 in defensive efficiency and has allowed the third-most DraftKings points per game to opposing small forwards.

James put up only 44.75 DraftKings points the last time he faced Chicago, but that was thanks largely in part to the blowout nature of that game. The Bulls squad he faces today is fresh off of their seventh consecutive win, so there's a chance that this one is more competitive. If that is the case, James should have no problem reaching value in a full complement of minutes against a Chicago team that has no answer for him defensively.
