Jimmy Butler, SG, Minnesota Timberwolves

Price: $9,400

On the other side of that Lakers/Timberwolves matchup, LA has allowed the league's most fantasy points per 48 minutes to opposing shooting guards.

Their pace ranks fifth in the NBA, and they combine that with an ugly 112.8 defensive rating -- ranking 22nd. Combining those, the 122.0 points per game they have allowed to opponents are the second-most in the NBA.

Jimmy Butler is coming off a down game for fantasy purposes, as he played only 24.1 minute in a 30-point blowout loss on Friday, where he made his exit with over 17 minutes remaining in the game.

The four contests before that saw him average 49.1 FanDuel points per game, and numberFire's models have him as the best point-per-dollar value of any player priced north of $9,000 tonight.
