LeBron James, SF, Cleveland Cavaliers

Price: $10,700

There's some risk in rostering LeBron James tonight, as he may play reduced minutes in a soft matchup on the second half of a back-to-back.

That soft matchup is a big reason why he remains such an intriguing play, though, as it doesn't necessarily take a ton of minutes to produce strong numbers against the Brooklyn Nets.

The Nets allowed top-five fantasy production to opponents at all five positions last season, and they're doing the same thing this year while playing at the league's second-highest pace with the fourth-worst defensive rating.

LeBron already has a pair of performances above 60 fantasy points to his name this season, and he's averaging 51.2 FanDuel points per game as well as 1.4 per minute. He's not as strong a play in cash as he is in tournaments, but he offers no shortage of upside in a matchup this strong, even if his minutes do end up limited.
