Marcus Morris scores game-high 26 as Knicks fall to Spurs
New York Knicks forward Marcus Morris scored 26 points (9-of-18 field goals, 5-of-5 free throws) with 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 steals, 3 3-pointers, and 1 turnover in 39.3 minutes of a 120-111 loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday.
What It Means:
Morris only scored more than 25 points two times last season for the Boston Celtics, but he got off to a great start with his new team. The 30-year-old veteran did set a new high-water mark with 1.9 3-pointers per game last year, so he could emerge as a reliable source of points and triples for fantasy owners. The Knicks head across town for a matchup with the Brooklyn Nets on Friday.
Morris scored 40.3 FanDuel points on Wednesday. numberFire's models project him for 12.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.6 steals, and 1.6 3-pointers per game over the rest of the season.
