The Rockets-Timberwolves game has the highest over/under on the slate. What does that mean for Andrew Wiggins' outlook?

FanDuel Price: $8,100

The Minnesota Timberwolves are one of the few teams in which you can feel confident in the security of their starters' minutes. Nothing brings head coach Tom Thibodeau more joy than running budding young superstars into the ground, so you can bet that Andrew Wiggins will see near the 37 minutes he has averaged this month, even on the back end of a back to back.

Wiggins has averaged 37.8 FanDuel points during that seven-game stretch, and a matchup against the uptempo Houston Rockets should provide every opportunity for him to remain hot. The Wolves have an implied team total of 109.25 points against Houston, which is more than 4 points above their season scoring average. The over/under in this one is set at 226.5 points, which is the second-highest on the slate.

According to the RotoViz Game Splits App, Wiggins has played better in positive game scripts this season, averaging 36.3 FanDuel points in games with an implied team total of at least 108 points, as opposed to 29.3 in all other games. He has averaged 35.1 FanDuel points in games with an over/under of at least 220 points.

In addition to a beautiful game script, Wiggins should benefit from an advantageous matchup against the Rockets, who have allowed the seventh-most FanDuel points to opposing small forwards. Wiggins has averaged 35 FanDuel points against Houston in three meetings this season, with his lowest total being 34.7, so we know he can be successful in this spot.
