3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 3/1/19

LeBron James, SF, Los Angeles Lakers

Price: $12,400

On the other side of that game, LeBron James is as good a bet for huge minutes as you're going to find.

The Lakers are struggling. They're sitting below .500 and as the 10-seed in the Western Conference. A LeBron-led team is always going to have the expectations of at least making the playoffs, and The King is doing all that he can to get them there.

Since returning from a month-long injury absence, LeBron has averaged 37.8 minutes per game over nine contests. The only two games in which he didn't eclipse at least 37 minutes were both 20-plus point blowouts, and if we remove those from the sample (a blowout isn't likely tonight as only 4.5-point underdogs against the Milwaukee Bucks), that average jumps to an absurd 39.4 minutes per game.

Those seven non-blowout games have each seen him post at least 53.3 FanDuel points, with 60 or more in four of them and an average of 62.1 per game.

The Milwaukee Bucks are a tough matchup, but with LeBron's floor for minutes around 37 and minutes into the 40s a real possibility if this game stays close down the stretch, you can afford to look past the matchup concerns.
