3 NBA DraftKings Studs to Target on 11/16/18

Andrew Wiggins, SG/SF, Minnesota Timberwolves

DraftKings Price: $6,100

Two games removed from the team sickness that was Jimmy Butler, Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Andrew Wiggins is already reaping the benefits. If you had been studying him before the breakup, you'd have known that he was due for a boost in fantasy value.

While Wiggins and Butler were on the court together, Wiggins put together 0.79 DraftKings points per minute and a usage rate of 20.4%. With Butler off the court, those numbers are 1.01 and 23.8%, respectively. Since the start of last season, he's averaging 3.4 more DraftKings points per game when Butler isn't playing.

Wiggs is coming off a 23-point, 6-board, 4-dime, 3-swipe performance against the Pelicans on Wednesday. We project him for a bit of a dip from that tonight, but we still have him projected for 30.7 DraftKings points with upside in the low 60s.
