3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 11/27/18

LeBron James, SF, Los Angeles Lakers

Price: $11,200

On the other side of that Nuggets-Lakers matchup, we have the slate's highest-priced and top-projected player in LeBron James.

The King's 51.4 FanDuel points per game rank fifth in the NBA on the season and are 3.7 more than the next-best mark on today's slate (Drummond's 47.7). He's coming off a 36.6-fantasy-point dud in his last outing, but his last six games include a pair of 70-plus fantasy nights, with an average of 55.1 per game over those six.

The Denver Nuggets don't make for an especially easy fantasy matchup, allowing below-average numbers to both forward spots, but on a five-game slate, you typically have to make some compromises.

Nobody is going to give you a better floor than LeBron, who has played at least 35 minutes in five of his last six games (including at least 38 in two of those), and a tough matchup doesn't limit his ceiling too much -- as evidenced by 72.1 FanDuel points against a Miami Heat team that ranks top-10 in defensive rating.

LeBron's price-tag is in a very manageable spot here, and he's a strong play in all formats.
