FanDuel Price: $4,300
Projected FanDuel Points: 19.6
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.56

Terry Rozier might not be getting big minutes, but that hasn't prevented him from being one of the hottest players in the league. Over his last five games, the Boston Celtics' backup point guard is averaging just 23.2 minutes a night, yielding 30.0 FanDuel points per game with 15.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.0 steals per game over that span.

Rozier's certainly been flashing his elite rebounding skills from the guard spot, but he's shooting 60.4% from the field and 55.6% from three on 9.6 field goal attempts and 5.4 three-point attempts, respectively. In his last game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, he showed no signs of slowing down as he knocked down 8-of-12 shots and 4-of-6 from three in under 20 minutes. Why should we expect anything different in a matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves?

The Timberwolves rank 22nd in the league with a defensive rating of 109.8 points allowed per 100 possessions. To add to that, they're just 29th in effective field goal percentage against (54.3%) and have allowed the fifth-most (38.0) bench points per game, according to hoopsstats.com. Minnesota is far from your average Tom Thibodeau defense and, based on the numbers, they're ripe for Rozier and the Celtics' second unit to pick them apart tonight.
