3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 4/5/18
LeBron James has been unstoppable against the Wizards, and that shouldn't change tonight. Who else should you be paying up for on Thursday?

LeBron James, SF/PF, Cleveland Cavaliers

DraftKings Salary: $11,600

LeBron James' production has fallen off a bit recently -- if that's what you want to call averaging 57.6 DraftKings points over a week's work. Tonight, though, he has a shot to bounce-back in a big way, as he gets a home matchup against the Washington Wizards. The Wiz have had no answer for James this season as he has averaged 70.3 DraftKings points in three meetings with them. And that's after averaging 60.8 DraftKings points against them last season.

James has also averaged 3.6 more DraftKings points per game at home this season, so he should benefit from the positive game script -- his Cleveland Cavaliers are 5.5-point favorites and have the third-highest implied team total (218.5) on the slate.

This game is expected to remain close, and the Cavs need a win to tighten their grip on the 3-seed in the East, so expect James to play as many minutes as he can handle. It is tough to find meaningful games that aren't affected by tanking or playoff-bound teams resting at this point in the season, but you can feel confident paying up for LeBron in all formats.
