Warriors limiting Andrew Wiggins playing time Tuesday

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Andrew Wiggins will be on a minutes restriction Tuesday versus the Los Angeles Lakers because he missed part of the preseason, per head coach Steve Kerr.

What It Means:

Wiggins dealt with some "nicks and bruises" during the preseason and he will be on an unspecified minutes limit in Tuesday's opener. Draymond Green will also have a cap after missing a game for an excused absence. Despite the restrictions, Wiggins and Green will both start. Wiggins should be the Warriors' secondary scoring option behind Stephen Curry. Otto Porter Jr. could see a few more minutes with Wiggins limited.

numberFire's models project Wiggins ($7,200 salary on FanDuel) for 29.4 minutes and 27.2 FanDuel points on Tuesday. The Warriors have the lowest implied total on the board (111.5) and they are 3.0-point underdogs, per our NBA Heat Map.
