Cavaliers' Tyronn Lue: Not planning to reduce LeBron James' workload
Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Tyronn Lue indicated that he is not planning to reduce LeBron James' minutes going forward.
What It Means:
At 32, James is in his 15th NBA season, but he's played the most minutes (644) in the NBA while averaging a league-high 37.9 minutes a game. With the team out to a slow start, Lue probably felt it necessary to ride James, but he doesn't seem to be changing that any time soon. "If you're one of the greats, sometimes you've got to play," said Lue.
Over a projected 37 minutes, our models have James -- at $12,000 -- pegged for 52.4 FanDuel points in his Wednesday night tilt against the Brooklyn Nets.
