FanDuel Price: $7,000
Sandwiched between the Rockets and Blazers in terms of implied team totals is the Minnesota Timberwolves, who are currently expected to score 114.5 points against the Los Angeles Lakers. That is nearly 10 points above their season scoring average, which is easily the largest boost any team is expected to see tonight.
Given LA's 30th-ranked defensive efficiency, that shouldn't come as much surprise.
Andrew Wiggins has struggled with inconsistency recently, but he has shown his sky-high ceiling, posting 47 FanDuel points last week against -- you guessed it -- the Lakers! Los Angeles has allowed the third-most FanDuel points to opposing small forwards and really have nobody on their roster who can hope to contain Wiggins.
Given a look at his splits, his most recent performance against LA certainly seems repeatable. Wiggins has averaged 36.6 FanDuel points when playing with an implied team total of at least 110 points this season, as opposed to 29.6 in all other games. With an over/under, he has maintained a 35.8-FanDuel-point average.
Wiggins' scoring-dependent ways and the blowout risk in this one (10.5-point spread), make him a bit risky for cash games. However, his elite ceiling in this matchup make him one of the best tournament options on the slate.
