Marcus Morris, PF, Boston Celtics

FanDuel Price: $4,900
Projected FanDuel Points: 25.6
Projected FanDuel Value: 5.23

Marcus Morris' second year with the Boston Celtics has been fruitful, to say the least. The eight-year veteran has put up career highs of 15.1 points and 6.1 boards this year. Perhaps the most interesting jump forward in his game, however, has been in his three-point shooting.

Morris is not only taking more shots (5.1 per game) than he has in the past, but he's hitting them at a much higher clip. Heading into tonight's contest against the Memphis Grizzlies, Morris is shooting 44.6% from deep, which is good enough to rank eighth in the NBA. Think you can defend a 6'9" player who can shoot at that rate from deep? I didn't think so.

Morris has faced the Grizzlies twice since joining the Boston Celtics. He's scored 25.6 an 26.8 FanDuel points in those games, respectively. We expect him to be right in that range again tonight, projecting him for 25.6 FanDuel points or 5.23 points per $1,000.
