3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 3/7/18

LeBron James, SF, Cleveland Cavaliers

Price: $12,500

With 49.9 FanDuel points on Monday, LeBron James just barely snapped his 10-game streak of scoring 50-plus fantasy points. He's still averaging a 58.2 per game over his last 11, though, with as many games north of 60 as he has with fewer than 55 in that stretch.

Monday was only his second time playing fewer than 36 minutes in that 11-game span, and that only happened because the game was a blowout, leading the Cavs to sit him for the entire fourth quarter. Even including that, he's averaging 38 minutes per game over the past month and is sporting a 31.9% usage rate, 45.1% assist rate, and 15.2% rebound rate in that time.

Tonight's matchup against the Denver Nuggets puts him in a great spot to keep up the strong production. This game has a big 230.5-point over/under, and Denver has played at a top-10 pace over the past month, which they have combined with a league-worst 115.0 defensive rating. They're on the second half of a back-to-back here and don't stand much of a chance of slowing down LeBron.
