5 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 2/1/19

Monte Morris, SG, Denver Nuggets

FanDuel Price: $4,500
Projected FanDuel Points: 29.4
Projected FanDuel Value: 6.53

Monte Morris replaced Torrey Craig in the Denver Nuggets' starting lineup on Wednesday, and he exploded with 20 points on 8-of-12 shooting to go with 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and no turnovers in just under 40 minutes of action. After a showing like that, we can expect another start tonight with Jamal Murray still on the shelf.

Even with his minutes unlikely to stay in the high-30s, our models like Morris to see 34.2 tonight.

For a guy that averages 0.86 fantasy points per minute, that kind of run against the Houston Rockets and their bottom-five defensive rating creates a ton of upside. We project Morris to return the slate's second-best value.
