Stephen Curry, PG, Golden State Warriors

Price: $9,900

The Golden State Warriors' 119.75-point implied total is tops on today's slate by a shade over 10 points. They're a tough offense to fade on this short four-game slate, especially with Jimmy Butler's status still up in the air for the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Even with Butler in the lineup, the Wolves are an appealing matchup for Stephen Curry. They have allowed a top-12 three-point percentage this season, as well as the 10th-most made threes per game and the 8th-most per 100 possessions. They've also given up the eighth-most FanDuel points per game to opposing point guards while averaging the second-most attempted triples per game (10.2). That weakness makes this spot really appealing for Curry.

The already shaky Wolves defense (23rd in defensive rating) is especially bad when they play without Butler. Their defensive rating in minutes with Butler off the floor this season sits at a heinous 117.6 (compared to a 107.4 overall, while the league's worst mark is 110.1). Curry's ceiling is massive if Butler doesn't play.
