Minnesota
Minnesota continues to limp along and possibly snag the title of worst record in the league. They are the biggest underdogs on the slate tonight, but it shouldn’t affect the starters too much as they are forced to play big minutes with so many players out injured.
Elite Plays
Andrew Wiggins (FD: $7500, DK: 6800) – After struggling for a bit a couple weeks ago, Wiggins has found his groove again at the tail end of the season. He has had games of 32, 41, and 51 recently and should be locked into 40 minutes regardless of the outcome.
Zach LaVine (FD: $6100, DK: 6000) – LaVine is in the same position as Wiggins as he will see a bunch of minutes regardless of the blowout here tonight. I expect him to play about 35 and reach value tonight where he needs about 30 fantasy points.
Secondary Plays
None
Golden State
There is not a whole lot else to say about this Warriors squad. They are just extremely good and have been that way all year long. Tonight’s game seems like the perfect opportunity to either rest guys or shorten up their minutes, yet no word has been said. Check back for news, but, they are 20 point favorites tonight so even if the starters do play, they may not play a whole lot.
Elite Plays
None
Secondary Plays
Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson are long shot GPP plays as I do not know how much they are going to play or if they are at all. They could however, go off like Curry did the other night, at any time.
