DraftKings Price: $11,300
Sitting 5.5 games back from the final playoff spot with only 18 games remaining in the season, the Los Angeles Lakers are in quite the bind. They are just 3-7 in their past 10 and will need to turn things around immediately should they have any hopes of pulling off a miracle run. Whether they win or lose, you know that The King will go down to the wire fighting.
LeBron James hasn't missed the playoffs since his second year in the league, and he's going to put it all out on the line in order to try and keep his streak going. Even if it doesn't work out for him and LA, it should work out for DFS players.
Bron has stepped up his game since coming back from injury. After averaging just 50.0 and 53.4 DraftKings points in November and December, he averaged 60.6 in 8 February games and is putting up 57.3 through three games in March.
We project him to continue his strong run of play tonight, pegging him for 59.5 DraftKings points, our highest projected total on the slate.
