Washington Wizards DFS Spin
Monte Morris logged nine points (4-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals across 36 minutes during Tuesday’s 113-110 win over Phoenix. Morris failed to reach 10 points for a second straight game but tied his season high with three steals, a mark he’s reached just one other time. Since returning from a two-game absence due to a groin injury, Morris has averaged 12.0 points, 4.8 assists, 1.8 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 31.0 minutes over his past four games.
Utah Jazz DFS Spin
Lauri Markkanen notched 38 points (13-20 FG, 9-13 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal in 36 minutes during Tuesday’s 126-111 victory over Detroit. Markkanen was a man on a mission Tuesday, matching his career high with 38 points, including nine triples. His breakout season continues, logging career-high numbers across the board. The Jazz have been arguably the most surprising team thus far, currently sitting at eighth place in the Western Conference with a 18-16 record. Markkanen has been leading from the front and should continue chugging along at top-30 pace for the rest of the season.
