Jimmy Butler, SG, Minnesota Timberwolves

Price: $9,800

Amidst all the turmoil and drama in Minnesota, Jimmy Butler stepped up in their opening game of the season and put up a team-high 34.9% usage rate, leading the Wolves in field goal attempts (23) while also notching 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 steals and a block.

That was good for a strong 49.9 FanDuel points, and he even had room for significantly more upside. The San Antonio Spurs held him to 9-of-23 shooting (and 1-of-4 from 3-point range), leaving him with a .413 effective field goal percentage -- a far cry last year's .512.

Tonight's matchup puts him in a much better spot to turn that volume into production. He's up against a Cleveland Cavaliers team that opened their LeBron James-less season by allowing 116 points and a .565 effective field goal percentage to the Toronto Raptors.
