Monte Morris (back) likely out again Tuesday for Wizards
Washington Wizards shooting guard Monte Morris (back) is "most likely out" again for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons, per head coach Wes Unseld Jr.
What It Means:
Morris is listed as questionable, but he's heading for a sixth straight absence on Tuesday in the front end of a back-to-back. Delon Wright is expected to make another start at point guard for the Wizards in place of Morris. He averaged 11.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 2.2 steals, and 1.6 triples as a starter over the last five games.
Wright has a positive matchup versus a Pistons team allowing the second-most FanDuel points per game to opposing point guards this season. He has a $5,900 salary on Tuesday's eight-game slate and is averaging 31.8 FanDuel points over the last five games.
