3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 2/21/19
Emerging from the All-Star break, James Harden's production should pick up again with a plus matchup against the Lakers. What other high-priced players should be on your radar on Thursday?

LeBron James, SF, Los Angeles Lakers

Price: $11,700

Across the court from Harden, LeBron James offers some serious upside as well, taking on a Houston Rockets team ranks a lowly 25th in defensive rating and 26th in rebound rate this season.

The King played five games before the All-Star break after returning from an injury that that cost him about a month, and while his production was inconsistent, those five games included scores of 53.3, 66.4 and 75.2 FanDuel points, playing at least 37.7 minutes in each of those three games. The other two saw the Lakers get blown out by at least 20 points, making the drop in both playing time and production in those two more than excusable.

This game has a solid 232.5-point over/under and only a 2.5-point spread, so not only should we be in for a high-scoring game, but there's also not much risk of a blowout cutting into LeBron's minutes again.
