FanDuel Fantasy Points Per Game More DFS

Jimmy Butler embracing leadership role for Wolves

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jimmy Butler says he is enjoying helping his younger teammates grow and get better under head coach Tom Thibodeau.

What It Means:

"It's been fun," Butler said of his new role as teacher. "They expect me to be that guy. They know what Thibs expects. I expect the same thing because I've been with Thibs before. So I have a different way of getting points across rather than yelling at them like Thibs may do." Butler's scoring may take a hit now that he is playing alongside Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins, but he will still be a valuable fantasy asset on both ends of the court in Minnesota.

Our models project Butler for 25.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 5.2 assists over 38.2 minutes on Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs. That's a net of 43.0 FanDuel points at a cost of $8,700.
