Marcus Morris, SF/PF, Boston Celtics

DraftKings Salary: $5,900

Marcus Morris has been becoming more and more involved offensively for the Boston Celtics down the stretch, and he put his skillset on full display on Wednesday, converting on 50% of his 22 shot attempts and finishing with 48.75 DraftKings points. With Al Horford back in the fold, Morris' outlook takes a bit of a hit, but he's still going to be required to log heavy minutes with Kyrie Irving, Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart, and Daniel Theis all still out.

With Irving, Smart, and Brown off the floor, Morris has posted a 27.7% usage rate and averaged an even 1.00 DraftKings points per minute. He could very well be looking at 30-plus minutes again, so that type of per-minute efficiency would make it easy for him to reach value with a salary that requires just 29.5 DraftKings points of him.

Morris has topped 30 minutes just eight times this season but has averaged 31 DraftKings points when he has. That type of production is what we're looking for at this price tag, and the high usage rate gives him upside for more if his shot is falling. Morris is more of a tournament play than cash game lock but is worth a look in any format, depending on your risk tolerance.
