The trade of Thon Maker on Wednesday solidifies D.J. Wilson's already emerging spot in the Milwaukee Bucks' rotation. Over the last three games, Wilson has played at least 22 minutes, averaging 9.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 1.0 blocks. He finished with at least 15 FanDuel points in each game, leaving him with a solid floor for a minimum-priced player. His 30.5-fantasy-point explosion against the Toronto Raptors last week showcased his upside when presented with the right matchup.
Wednesday finds the Bucks as 11.5-point favorites over the Washington Wizards, leaving Wilson likely to see over 20 minutes in mop-up time. In the 11 games Wilson has played at least 20 minutes, he's finished with 20 FanDuel points seven times. The power forward only needs 17.5 FanDuel points to reach optimal value, leaving him in a favorable spot, and especially against the Wizards’ frontcourt.
Washington has allowed 1.0 FanDuel points per minute to the power forwards, the fourth-most of any team on Wednesday’s slate.
