3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 2/12/19

Marcus Morris, SF/PF, Boston Celtics

DraftKings Price: $5,000

On a relatively small five-game slate with few injuries causing spot starts, some of the best value of the night is clustered closer to mid-range salary levels. One such player who is in that pricing bucket is Boston Celtics forward Marcus Morris.

Morris is in the midst of what is clearly his best NBA season. His averages of 14.6 points, 6.0 boards, and 2.1 treys per game are all career-best marks, as are his 47.6% field goal percentage and 41.1% clip from three. The scoring is all the more impressive given that his previous career high of 14.1 points per game -- set in the 2015-16 season -- came in a whopping 35.7 minutes per game; he's averaging just 27.5 minutes this season.

The Celtics are playing without Kyrie Irving in tonight's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Unlike teammate Terry Rozier, Morris doesn't get a huge bump in fantasy value when Irving is out, scoring just 1.7 more DraftKings points per game. The Sixers, however, are a huge fantasy draw for Morris.

He's scored at least 34.5 DraftKings points against them in two games this season and has topped 30.0 DraftKings points in nine of his past 12 matchups against Philly. We currently have him projected for 26.3 DraftKings points tonight.
