LeBron James, SF/PF, Cleveland Cavaliers

DraftKings Salary: $11,500

LeBron James continued his excellent play on Wednesday, posting his 12th consecutive game of 50-plus DraftKings points. His 68.5-DraftKings-point performance raised his average to 63 per game over that stretch.

He'll look to keep things going in an advantageous matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers, who have surrendured bottom-eight production to small forwards and simply do not have the personnel to match up with James. This game also has a slate-leading over/under, and the Cleveland Cavaliers have the fourth-highest implied team total.

James has played in 22 games that have both had an over/under of 220-plus points and remained within 20 points. He's averaged 63.2 DraftKings points in those games and has reached five-times value at this price (57.5 DraftKings points) 73% of the time. One of said games was a 66-DraftKings-point performance the last time he faced the Clippers. He should again exceed value tonight and comes at a $1,000 discount to his price on FanDuel. On a slate with tons of value, you have to get some exposure to LeBron.
