Ja Morant just shy of double-double in Monday's loss to Pelicans
by Dave Kluge | Grizzlies Correspondent | Mon, Jan 20th 9:25pm EST
Ja Morant scored 16 points on 5-of-14, going 1-of-2 from deep and 5-of-6 on free throws. He grabbed three rebounds, dished nine dimes, and swiped a steal over his 35 minutes.
Fantasy Impact:
Morant has been within two assists of a double-double for his last three games. He's been gaining confidence lately and has been absolutely electric on the offensive end of the court, making shots for himself and elevating the play of his teammates. He's averaging 8.8 assists in January, which would be good for fourth in the NBA this season. Morant has officially surpassed Jaren Jackson Jr. as the Grizzlies top scorer and only looks to be improving from here. His value in dynasty leagues is sky-high and he can still be purchased for cheap in DFS. Morant's next matchup will be on the road against the Celtics on Wednesday.
