LeBron James (rest) will miss first Cavaliers game of season
Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James (rest) will not play Wednesday against the Indiana Pacers.
The Cavaliers are on the second end of a back-to-back set and this will be the first game James won't be active this season. J.R. Smith (ankle) may also sit, so Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love could become great plays on FanDuel. Jordan McRae, Richard Jefferson and Iman Shumpert all see a boost as low-budget options tonight as well.
LeBron currently ranks 14th in the NBA with a 1.8 nERD this season. Meanwhile, the Cavaliers are the third-best team in the league, according to numberFire's NBA Team Power Rankings.
