Monte Morris, PG, Denver Nuggets

FanDuel Price: $3,900
Projected FanDuel Points: 21.9
Projected FanDuel Value: 5.61

Like Tyus Jones, Denver Nuggets guard Monte Morris is also going to be reliant on others for his fantasy potential this evening, though it's not injuries we're talking about.

After seeing 18 or fewer minutes in six straight games, Morris has seen at least 26 minutes of run in each of his past two contests, both due to blowouts. The first was a blowout loss to the Golden State Warriors last Friday; the second was a blowout win over the Wolves on Tuesday, both of which allowed Morris to see a lot of extra run in the second half.

We could see another blowout here this evening and, with it, additional run for Morris once again. The Nuggets host the Dallas Mavericks in what should be a one-sided affair. The Mavericks have lost six in a row, which has dropped them back to second-to-last in the West. They are 11.5-point underdogs this evening, which is the biggest spread on the slate.

Rostering Morris is a bet on the Nuggets and their ability to run the Mavs out of the building. Our models see that happening, as we have Morris projected for 24.5 minutes of run and 21.9 FanDuel points this evening.
