Zach LaVine in Timberwolves' first unit against Boston
Minnesota Timberwolves Zach LaVine will start against the Boston Celtics on Monday according to Minnesota coach Sam Mitchell.
What It Means:
This means that Andrew Wiggins will move to small forward, and Tayshaun Prince will head to the bench. We still have no idea why Mitchell is rotating Prince in and out of the starting lineup in what is supposed to be a rebuilding season, but LaVine has to be owned for his production in points, assists, steals and treys.
LaVine is averaging 30.6 minutes in his eight games as a starter this season and currently ranks 123rd in the league with a -4.9 nERD. He is our second-best value play on FanDuel tonight with his $4,900 price tag. Our models project him to play 30.0 minutes against the Celtics while putting up 14.9 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.0 3-pointers on 43.3 percent shooting from the field.
