3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 12/14/18

Monte Morris, PG, Denver Nuggets

DraftKings Price: $4,000

The Nuggets, of course, aren't only without Paul Millsap. Gary Harris joined Millsap and Will Barton on the all-Nugget injury team recently, and one of the biggest beneficiaries has been Monte Morris.

Morris has been solid throughout his second year, but he has seen a noticeable uptick in output when Harris has been out. In the 21 games he's played with Harris, he's averaged 9.3 points, 2.6 boards, and 3.7 assists. In the six games without Harris, he's averaged 11.0, 3.0, and 5.0, respectively. That jump in production has led to an increase of 6.1 DraftKings points per game.

In his past two games, he's averaged 29.0 minutes, up from the 22.9 he was averaging in his previous four without Harris. Two games might not be a trend, but as bets go, it seems to be a relatively safe one given his recent production.

We have Morris projected for 20.0 DraftKings points tonight with upside for 37.4.
