3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 3/15/18

LeBron James, SF/PF, Cleveland Cavaliers

DraftKings Salary: $11,400

LeBron James is certainly not coasting into the playoffs, averaging 62.8 DraftKings points over the past week and 61.4 over the past month. He hasn't dipped below 50 DraftKings points in a game since February 6th -- a level of consistency that is unprecedented, even at this price tag.

The game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Portland Trail Blazers is one of the best to target on the slate as it owns an over/under of 222 points. Only the Houston Rockets-Los Angeles Clippers game has a higher over/under, and the blowout potential (11.5-point spread) in that one makes this game stand out as the strongest game script on the slate. James has averaged over 60 DraftKings points per night this season in games with over/unders above 220 points, so he should thrive in tonight's high-scoring environment.

It is a tough decision between James, Anthony Davis, and James Harden as to who to pay all the way up for on this slate, but our projections have James as the highest scorer on the slate. Davis is the upside play of the two, but you will be hard-pressed to find a stud with a higher floor than James'. He is a viable target in all formats tonight.
