The 5 Best Power Forwards to Target in Daily Fantasy Basketball Tournaments
5. Markieff Morris, Washington Wizards
Markieff Morris is having a fantastic year for the Washington Wizards. Not only is he helping the Wizards shooting up the Eastern Conference standings, he's also been great for NBA DFS players.
Morris is averaging 14.9 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 1.2 steals over 32.1 minutes per game. All of those marks are career highs, and it's turning Morris into one of the game's best tournament plays.
Morris is averaging just 26.8 FanDuel points per game this season, but he has had some extreme upside over the first 53 games of his year. He has at least 35 FanDuel points in 14 games this season, and because his price tag has been as low as $4,600, he has exceeded 5.5 FanDuel points per $1,000 in nearly a third of his games.
| Player | Games | Games ≥ 5.5X | Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Markieff Morris | 53 | 17 | 32.10% |
Although his effective field goal percentage is still just 49.7%, Morris is enjoying a career-best 36.7% shooting from downtown, and he has almost matched his career-high in three-pointers made with 54 this season.
The issue is that since his price has gone up significantly, Morris has seen his tournament value decrease. At the price of $6,900 or higher, Morris has reached or exceeded 5.5 FanDuel points per $1,000 just once in his last nine games.
