3 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 1/14/19

Marcus Morris, PF, Boston Celtics

FanDuel Price: $5,100
Projected FanDuel Points: 25.8
Projected FanDuel Value: 5.06

Let's make it a Celtics trifecta, shall we? The absence of Kyrie Irving not only helps the guards, but it filters through the rest of the team as well. One of the players who takes over much of the offensive gap with Irving out is forward Marcus Morris.

Though his rebounding takes a hit when Irving is out, Morris has scored an average of 4.5 more points and FanDuel points when Kyrie has not taken the court. He's averaging 19.7 points, 4.0 boards, 2.3 assists, 1.0 steals, and 30.3 FanDuel points in just 27.5 minutes in those three games.

The 2018-19 season has been the best season of Morris' career. The eighth-year player out of the University of Kansas is averaging career highs in points (15.6), rebounds (6.0), field goal percentage (50.1%), and three-point percentage (45.2%). That last number is an astounding 7.1% better than his previous career best (2013-14) and ranks fifth in the NBA.

We expect him to have another solid game this evening when the Celtics take on the Brooklyn Nets, projecting him for 25.8 FanDuel points.
