Monte Morris, PG, Denver Nuggets

DraftKings Price: $3,600

The Nuggets were helpless on Tuesday night against the Golden State Warriors. Denver gave up an NBA-record 51 points in the first quarter. With the game already in hand, many Nuggets players -- including guard Monte Morris -- saw their workloads decreased significantly.

Morris played just 14 minutes, but he should bounce back into normal run tonight when Denver hosts the Bulls. Morris had scored in double figures in four of his five previous games, including a 21-point, 36.75-DraftKings-point effort against the Houston Rockets on January 7.

Morris is averaging 21.4 DraftKings points in 23.5 minutes in home games this season. We project him for 22.3 DraftKings points this evening, which would equate to a value of 6.2 points per $1,000. A word of caution: Gary Harris is questionable tonight. If Harris does suit up (he's missed the past five games), Morris' value would take a hit.
