Morris returns to the Nuggets lineup following a three-game absence with a concussion.

The 26-year-old has started 50 games for Denver this season and should continue in that role this evening. Filling in for an injured Jamal Murray (ACL Recovery), Morris is enjoying the best season of his career, posting per-game averages of 12.6 points, 4.3 assists, and 2.9 rebounds.

His return likely shifts rookie guard Bones Hyland back to a reserve role. Hyland had started the past two games for head coach Mike Malone, averaging 10.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.0 assists over that stretch.

Morris ($5,300 on FanDuel) has quietly averaged 24.2 FanDuel points per game on the year, and assuming he is not under a minutes restriction, represents a possible value play at his current price point.

FanDuel Sportsbook has the Nuggets listed as five-point road underdogs on the spread and +172 on the Moneyline.
