Sometimes fantasy basketball requires a lot of mental gymnastics, and sometimes
it’s just about finding a matchup that looks promising and riding with it. Jeff
Teague has that type of game tonight.
While the Spurs are a good basketball team, their strength is not in their
backcourt. They have a depleted point guard rotation and will start Derrick
White against Teague. No knock on White–he’s a solid player–but he’s not the
best defender, and Teague should be able to take advantage. The Spurs are a
top-5 defensive unit over the last 15 games, so Teague might need to shoulder a
bigger scoring load if San Antonio is able to limit Karl-Anthony Towns and
Andrew Wiggins, neither one of whom have sterling records against the Spurs.
The Wolves will also be down a man with Tyus Jones out, so Teague will need to
play a full load of minutes and then some and will have plenty of opportunity to
produce for fantasy owners. Teague can be rostered for $5,900 on DraftKings,
making him a good bargain at a below-average price.
