Per source: Andrew Wiggins will make his Warriors debut tonight. It’s in Chase Center on ABC against the Lakers.

Fantasy basketball analysis: Warriors F Andrew Wiggins
So with D’Angelo Russell out the door and a bunch of young, inexperienced guards on the Dubs roster, Wiggins should step right in and see a ton of shots. Russell was soaking up 19.2 shot attempts per game this season, so we can expect most of those to head Wiggins way tonight. I’d think coach Steve Kerr eases him into the rotation a bit, so not sure he’ll start right away. If Wiggins does and he isn’t on any type of minutes limit, he’s an OK tournament play on DraftKings at $7,900. That price is a bit high, but I can’t imagine the ownership will be. In season-long, I think you’re OK playing Wiggins tonight on the off chance that he does take a ton of shots.
