LeBron James, SF, Cleveland Cavaliers

FanDuel Price: $9,800

In contrast to Cousins' volatility and upside, LeBron James has been an incredibly consistent fantasy scorer to start the season, with 40-plus FanDuel points in five of his six games.

A big part of that consistency comes from how much work he is getting -- having played 35-plus minutes in all but one game and sporting a 28.4% usage rate on the year. He is averaging 22.8 points, 10.7 assists and 8.8 rebounds per game, and contributing outstanding numbers in three stat categories gives a nice boost to both his floor and ceiling.

The Atlanta Hawks are a sound defensive team, but have also been playing at the league's sixth-highest pace to start the year. James' volume and peripherals give him a lot of fantasy value regardless of matchup, and the extra possessions he will see from playing up in pace tonight help make an otherwise tough matchup a lot more appealing.
