LeBron James, SF, Los Angeles Lakers

Price: $11,800

You can expect LeBron James to push for a Giannis-esque usage rate tonight with both Rajon Rondo and Brandon Ingram suspended.

LeBron is already playing huge minutes for the Los Angeles Lakers, with 37.3 in his first game and 38.9 in his second, and he's sporting a team-high 27.5% usage rate. Ingram (21.3%) and Rondo (17.1%) both vacate significant usage from the starting lineup, and both have seen plenty of playing time, ranking second and third on the team in minutes, despite making early exits from their last game.

The matchup against the San Antonio Spurs isn't an especially exciting one, but having allowed marks of 108 and 121 points in their first two games this season, San Antonio doesn't look like the elite defensive team we once knew them as.

LeBron turned a league-leading workload into the NBA's third-most FanDuel points per game last season, and he should have no issues converting big playing time and usage into production tonight.
