Timberwolves' Andrew Wiggins scores well to open the year
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Andrew Wiggins dropped 26 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist in 30.4 minutes of action in Wednesday's season-opening loss to the San Antonio Spurs.
What It Means:
Fresh off inking a multi-year contract extension, the Wolves' offense ran through Wiggins in this one, with his 27.7% usage rate leading the team's starters. He's looking to build off a solid 2016-17 season when he averaged 23.6 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game.
numberFire's models project Wiggins for 20.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 36.3 minutes per game this season. He draws a tough matchup in his next game on Friday, taking on the slow-paced Utah Jazz.
