LeBron James, SF, Cleveland Cavaliers

Price: $11,500

The Cleveland Cavaliers may be rolling with a new-look roster, but The King stay the king.

LeBron James has topped 50 FanDuel points in each of his last seven games, giving him an average of 58.7 in that stretch. Only Anthony Davis has scored more in that time.

Since George Hill, Rodney Hood and the rest of the Cavs' trade targets made their debuts on February 11th, LeBron is sporting a strong 33.6% usage rate -- a bump from his season-long mark of 30.9%. His assist rate has stayed consistent with his season average (43.8% compared to 43.9%) in those games, but he has also seen a bump in rebound rate (from 12.6% up to 16.1%), thanks largely to playing increased minutes at power forward with Kevin Love out.

Don't expect James to slow down tonight, as he draws a matchup with a Brooklyn Nets team that is allowing the league's third-most fantasy points per game to power forwards partially due to a top-10 pace and bottom-10 marks in both defensive rating and rebound rate. The Nets may also be on tired legs tonight, playing on the road on the second half of a back-to-back
