LeBron James, SF/PF, Cleveland Cavaliers

DraftKings Salary: $11,700

LeBron James has been in ridiculous form lately, averaging 63.2 DraftKings points across seven games over the past three weeks. Even with several blowouts mixed in, he hasn't dropped below 54.5 DraftKings points during that span.

Tonight's game could definitely be of the blowout variety, as James' Cleveland Cavaliers are 10.5-point home favorites against the Brooklyn Nets. The blowout risk is a little easier to stomach on this slate, as three of the six games have a double-digit spread. As long as you are able to assume some risk, James is the top stud on the slate from a raw points perspective.

LeBron has averaged 61.3 DraftKings points in two previous meetings with Brooklyn this season, which shouldn't come as much surprise given that the Nets own the sixth-ranked pace of play and 22nd-ranked defensive efficiency. James is our top-projected scorer on the slate and is worth a look in any format.
