3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 3/4/16

LeBron James, SF, Cleveland Cavaliers

Price: $9,800

While the Wizards have made some improvements on defense recently, they're still a good matchup to target in daily fantasy. They rank below average at 17th in Defensive Efficiency, but playing at the 4th fastest Pace in the league has them giving up the 8th most points per game. They have especially struggled with small forwards, giving up fifth most fantasy points in the league to the position, their worst rank at any position.

As far as small forwards go, you're not going to find a better fantasy producer than LeBron James. He's putting up 45.0 FanDuel points per game over the past month, averaging 25.0 points, 7.6 assists and 7.1 rebounds per game.

Something that pushes LeBron over the edge as a truly elite play tonight is the edge he's going to have on the glass. The Wizards rank 29th in Offensive Rebound Rate, and LeBron owns an 18.4 percent Defensive Rebound Rate. He shouldn't have much trouble getting the best of the Wizards' defense, and the potential for big rebounding numbers give him even more upside tonight.
