Celtics' Marcus Morris (knee) will play around 20 minutes on Friday
Boston Celtics forward Marcus Morris (knee) will make his Celtics debut on Friday against the Oklahoma City Thunder, but will be restricted to about 20 minutes off the bench.
What It Means:
Morris will make his season debut against the Thunder, but with a back-to-back looming on Sunday and Monday, he will rest in one of those games as he's eased into the rotation. He'll be on a minutes restriction, but his return could spell a downtick in minutes for some combination of Jayson Tatum, Aron Baynes, and Semi Ojeleye.
On Friday, numberFire projects Morris for 12.4 FanDuel points over 17.3 minutes.
