The Grizzlies are an intimidating matchup from a fantasy perspective at several
positions–Mike Conley and Marc Gasol are both incredible defenders and
youngster Jaren Jackson Jr. is no slouch either. However, the Grizzlies’ wing
duo of Justin Holiday and Kyle Anderson will have their hands full with Andrew
Wiggins.
Wiggins has been phenomenal from both a fantasy and real-life perspective
lately. He’s scored over 41 fantasy points in his last three games, and turned
in a 50.25-point game on Sunday against Utah. The only problem is the folks at
DraftKings are starting to take notice and have finally raised his salary.
However, he’s still only barely above average salary, costing $6,500 to roster
tonight.
With Gasol going to work on Towns there’s a strong chance Wiggins will have to
pick up more of the Wolves’ scoring and rebounding load. The rebounding has been
a sneaky part of Wiggins’ value lately. He’s almost doubled his rebounding
output since Interim Head Coach Ryan Saunders took over, averaging seven per
game. It’s that production in categories other than points and threes that has
been holding Wiggins’ value back and if he can continue to crash the boards he
could become a multi-cat monster for the rest of the season.
