November 15, 2025 8:00 pm EDT
The NBA presents FanDuel basketball fans with a regular season matchup featuring the Denver Nuggets and the Minnesota Timberwolves Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Denver Nuggets vs. Minnesota Timberwolves game let’s review the rules for the FanDuel single game showdown contest.
FanDuel Single Game Contest Rules
Here are the FanDuel single game contest rules. You have $60,000 to utilize on five players from either team. However, one of those players will be designated as your team MVP. The MVP accumulates 1.5x times the standard FanDuel fantasy points value. Additionally, the MVP is 1.5 times the standard cost of the flex position.
The remaining five players in your lineup will be flex plays. The five flex positions will receive the standard FanDuel points value. Having stated that, it is highly important for you to identify the correct player for your MVP position if you hope to win a large field GPP (guaranteed prize pool) FanDuel single game contest.
If you have additional questions regarding the rules for the single game contest, I highly recommend that you check out the FanDuel website for more details.
*I recommend that all readers review the starting lineups for both teams prior to setting your DFS lineup for this one game slate.
Here are my FanDuel picks for tonight’s Nuggets vs. Timberwolves matchup.

MVP-Anthony Edwards, Guard, Minnesota Timberwolves $14,200
Veteran guard Anthony Edwards has been a standout performer for the Minnesota Timberwolves this season. With that said, how has the talented guard performed from a statistical standpoint? Let’s examine Edwards game data from the 2025 NBA regular season to answer that question.

What did we learn from the data just presented? Clearly, Anthony Edwards has the potential to post a large number of DFS points on any given night. Having stated that, I fully expect that trend to continue in this evening’s NBA regular season matchup with the Denver Nuggets.
As I noted in the rules section above, selecting the correct player at the MVP position for a FanDuel NBA single game lineup is absolutely vital if you hope to win a large field GPP (guaranteed prize pool) DFS contest. Keep that in mind as you construct your lineups.
In my opinion, Anthony Edwards is the most likely player to post the most FanDuel points in this NBA regular season game. For that specific reason, I am backing Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards at the MVP position for this one game FanDuel NBA DFS contest.
