LeBron James, SF/PF, Los Angeles Lakers

DraftKings Price: $10,200

Editor's note: Since publication, James has been ruled out with an injury.

Though LeBron James is technically on a minutes restriction, it certainly hasn't had much effect on his fantasy output.

Through games on March 4, the Los Angeles Lakers' superstar was averaging 54.5 DraftKings points in 35.7 minutes per game. Since then, he's averaged 54.6 DraftKings points in 31.8 minutes per game.

The great thing is that his DraftKings salary has decreased despite him putting up nearly identical fantasy stats. He enters tonight's contest against the Milwaukee Bucks at just $10,200, down significantly from the $11,400 he was at to start March.

He might not even have to deal with the defense of Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is questionable with an ankle sprain. Though, to be fair, Giannis did play through the pain en route to a career-high 52 real-world points in Sunday's loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. I digress.

LeBron scored 58.25 DraftKings points the last time he faced Milwaukee and has averaged a whopping 1.72 DraftKings points per minute over his past four contests against them. At his baseline 32 minutes, that translates to 55.0 DraftKings points. We currently project him for 53.2 DraftKings points tonight.
