NBA Daily Fantasy Helper: Tuesday 2/27/18

If you're new to daily fantasy basketball -- maybe you started your DFS journey during the MLB or NFL seasons, or maybe basketball is your sport and this will be your first year giving it a shot -- you're in for a treat. The NBA scene changes hugely on a week-to-week, day-to-day, and -- depending on injury news -- even a minute-to-minute basis, making every slate a unique one that requires an ever-changing approach.

With so much changing so quickly, we're here with plenty of tools to help you out. We have daily projections, a matchup heat map, a lineup optimizer, and a ton of other great resources to help give you an edge.

Here, we'll put all of that together and take a look at who you should target on today's slate.

Best of the Best

LeBron James ($11,500): One of the league's premier producers regardless of situation, LeBron's numbers have been especially encouraging in recent games. Over his last seven contests, he's averaging a shade more than 58 FanDuel points, while boasting a 32.0% usage rate, 46.2% assist rate and 15.9% rebound rate. The Brooklyn Nets are on the road on the second half of a back-to-back, adding appeal to what was already a terrific fantasy matchup. The Nets rank in the bottom-10 in both rebound rate and defensive rating while playing at a top-10 pace.
