Jeff Teague is always a good candidate to quietly do something very impressive.
While he didn’t have his best game against OKC, before that he had hit
double-digit assists in his last five games, dating back to Dec. 10 (remember
that Teague missed nine games with an ankle injury). The last time the Wolves
played the Mavs, Teague scored 39.0 points on DraftKings, and that was with
Dennis Smith Jr. playing. With Smith Jr. on the bench Teague will be lining up
against rookie Jalen Brunson, who he should have no trouble with.
Teague has good value tonight. He can be rostered on DraftKings for $6,700 and
should easily provide good production at that price. Though Derrick Rose will
likely be returning, that shouldn’t impact Teague’s minutes at all. Tonight
could be a very high-scoring and fast-paced affair as Interim Head Coach Ryan
Saunders tries to get the Wolves into a faster style.
Another option could be Dario Saric. Saric played extremely well in OKC and
Saunders gave him significant run down the stretch. If Saric gets more playing
time, he’s the type of player that can do damage in a lot of categories. With a
salary of just $4,500, he could be a great value as well.
