BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 28% of leagues
ANALYSIS: While he's calmed down in terms of scoring some over the past couple of games, Clippers forward/center Marcus Morris Sr. is still a strong fantasy addition right now because of his high upside.
Just this past week, Morris had a pair of games with 18-plus points, and in both of those, he made four three-pointers. That shooting is especially useful for fantasy managers who need threes, because Morris has center eligibility. And while his lack of rebounding -- in eight games this year, his best rebounding performances were seven of them against the Bulls and Pacers -- isn't what you want from a center, there are lots of ways to build a winning fantasy team.
Morris has also seen an increase in minutes, with three of his four top games in minutes coming in the past three games. Those extra minutes can really help Morris find his groove as a scorer on a team, which is definitely a thing they need, since beyond Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and Lou Williams, there's not a ton of consistent sources of offense on this Clippers team.
Morris is going to continue to have some really good games and some mediocre games, but he's not going to have any real bad games, which is always something you like to have in your fantasy lineup: consistency with a nice floor.
