3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 10/25/18

Monte Morris, PG, Denver Nuggets

DraftKings Price: $4,300

With Will Barton out of the picture in Colorado for at least the next month, his Denver Nuggets teammates will need to step up and fill the offensive void. One such player who has taken that challenge head on is second-year player Monte Morris.

In the past two games with Barton on the sidelines, Morris has come through with an average of 10.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 5.5 assists, good for an average DraftKings output of just over 25.1 points per game. Tonight's contest against the Los Angeles Lakers should help him to continue that run of good form.

The game has a total of 236.5 points, 18.5 points higher than the next closest game on the slate. The spread is only three points, so it is likely that all major players on both teams will see plenty of run, and Morris just saw 29 minutes in Denver's win against the Sacramento Kings the other night.

Our models have his projections slightly low at 18.6 DraftKings points, but we have his upside tonight in the mid-20s, which would be more than enough to make you a solid return on a $4,300 investment.
