3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 3/5/18

LeBron James, SF, Cleveland Cavaliers

Price: $12,500

LeBron James has not only been posting huge fantasy numbers over the past month, but he has also been doing it with freakish consistency. He's averaging 59.0 FanDuel points per game over his last 10, has posted no fewer than 51.3 in that stretch, and has notched more occurrences of at least 60 (four) than below 56 (three).

His workload has been huge in that time -- he's averaging 39.0 minutes per game -- and that's not likely to fall off any time soon, especially with Tristan Thompson sidelined. Thompson, James, and Larry Nance Jr. have been the only frontcourt players in the rotation with Kevin Love and Jeff Green out. Even with Ante Zizic likely to step in and take a few center minutes, the Cavaliers will have little choice but to continue giving LeBron as much run as he can handle.

That's especially appealing against the Pistons. In a six-game sample since the All-Star break, Detroit ranks a lowly 26th in defensive rating. They're also allowing top-10 fantasy production to opponents at both forward spots this season. Despite a massive price tag, James' combination of floor and upside make him a terrific fantasy option.
