Celtics will increase Marcus Morris' minutes restriction on Thursday
Boston Celtics forward Marcus Morris will have his minutes limit "upped a little," according to head coach Brad Stevens.
What It Means:
Per Scott Souza of the MetroWest Daily News, Morris' restriction won't be eliminated entirely. The Celtics will keep track of his minutes in hopes of the team hitting their stride as they get closer and closer to the stretch run. Daniel Theis and Aron Baynes are first in line to have their minutes cut in favor of Morris.
Through 21 games and 11 starts, Morris is averaging 11 points and 5 rebounds across 23.3 minutes per game. He's projected for 24.4 minutes and 20.2 FanDuel points in Thursday's game in London.
