3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 2/12/19

LeBron James, SF, Los Angeles Lakers

Price: $11,200

The Los Angeles Lakers' struggles actually create a ton of fantasy value for LeBron James tonight. The Atlanta Hawks are one of the best fantasy matchups around, but typically if you're getting stud against Atlanta, you're also taking on blowout risk. The Lakers, though, are only 5.5-point favorites today, so that's not much of a concern.

The Hawks play at the league's fastest pace, which plays a big role in them allowing opponents the NBA's most points, most assists, 13th-most rebounds, most seals and 5th-most blocks per game.

LeBron's ability to fill it up in all five of those areas -- averaging 26.7 points, 8.6 boards, 7.4 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.6 blocks per game -- makes this an especially appealing spot for him.

He's had two outings with fewer than 40 FanDuel points in his four since returning from injury, but the other two saw him post 53.3 and 66.4 fantasy points, so there's no need to be concerned about his current form. This game has the slate's highest over/under (236.0), and the Lakers have the top implied total (120.75). LeBron should have no trouble taking advantage of this spot.
