3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 3/21/18
LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers are projected to be in a tight, high-scoring game on Wednesday, making James a player we want to target. Which other studs are worth their salaries in NBA DFS?

LeBron James, SF/PF, Cleveland Cavaliers

DraftKings Salary: $11,700

LeBron James has now piled up four straight 70-burgers and boasts an average of 65.1 DraftKings points over his past 10 games. He's been remarkably consistent and is still underpriced on DraftKings, where he comes in $1,200 cheaper than on FanDuel. At this price tag, James needs just 58.5 DraftKings points to reach his implied value, which is exactly what our projections have him at tonight.

James will look to continue his dominance tonight against the Toronto Raptors, who are traveling from Orlando to Cleveland on the back end of a back-to-back and will be playing their fifth game in seven nights.

The game script sets up quite nicely in this one, too, as the over/under is the highest on the slate and the Cleveland Cavaliers are 1.5-point home favorites. James has played in 27 games that have had both an over/under of 220-plus points and remained within 20 points. He's averaged 64.5 DraftKings points in those games and has reached five-times value at this price 74% of the time. He should benefit greatly from the positive game script and have no problem reaching that number, making him a strong play in all formats.
