Victor Wembanyama Tops DraftKings Salary Sheet at $10,600 for Spurs‑Timberwolves Clash

The NBA Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) slate for Wednesday, May 6, pits the San Antonio Spurs against the Minnesota Timberwolves at 9:30 p.m. ET. DraftKings lists Wembanyama at $10,600, the top price among all players, and FanDuel values him at $12,500. The game’s over/under sits at 215.5 points, identical to the Knicks‑76ers contest earlier that night.

Key figures show the Timberwolves entering as nine‑point favorites, projected to score 103 points, while the Spurs are slated for 112.5. Both teams average just over 100 points per game this postseason, with the Spurs posting a 119.8 points‑per‑game offense in the regular season. The matchup’s pace—101.1 possessions per 48 minutes—suggests a moderate tempo that could keep the total near the line.

Wembanyama’s salary reflects his dual threat as a rim protector and scorer. At 7 feet 4 inches, he averages double‑digit points and blocks, translating into high DraftKings points per minute. His price outpaces even the league’s top scorers, indicating owners expect a significant fantasy output.

Comparatively, the Knicks‑76ers game features the Knicks as 7.5‑point favorites with a projected 111.5 points for New York and 104 for Philadelphia. Both contests share the 215.5 total, offering DFS players a direct comparison of value across the slate.

What it means for lineups: Wembanyama’s premium cost forces owners to allocate a large salary chunk, potentially limiting flexibility elsewhere. However, his upside—high rebounds, blocks, and scoring—justifies the expense for those targeting top‑tier fantasy points. Players with lower salaries, such as Minnesota’s Mike Conley at $3,900, become attractive fillers to balance the roster.

Watch the second half for any shifts in scoring pace. If the Spurs accelerate beyond the projected 112.5 points, Wembanyama’s salary could pay off handsomely, reshaping the DFS leaderboard for the night.
