3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 3/24/16
Taking on the Bulls for the second straight night, Carmelo Anthony has one of the best matchups on the slate. What other high-priced fantasy options should you target?

LeBron James, SF, Cleveland Cavaliers

Price: $9,900

Coming off of a nice outing against the Bucks last night, LeBron James is once again one of the best high-end fantasy options of the night.

He ranks sixth in the month of March with 45.3 fantasy points per game and is putting up 25.2 points, 8.5 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game. He's also sporting a 32.4 percent Usage Rate on the month, good for fifth among players averaging at least 10 minutes per game.

The Nets are not a good defensive team any way you cut it. Their 110.0 Defensive Efficiency ranks 28th in the league and is the worst of any team playing tonight. They're also allowing the highest Effective Field Goal Percentage in the league and giving up the ninth-most points per game. As a bonus for LeBron, they rank below league average in both Offensive and Defensive Rebound Rates as well.

With so many avenues for big fantasy production, James is especially a threat against a team like the Nets, who struggle in many different areas. Their shortcomings have them giving up above-average fantasy scoring to opponents at both forward positions, and LeBron should have no trouble taking advantage of that.
