Morris was one of my best pickups for the coming weekĀ and displayed his potential in the Suns win yesterday in Cleveland. Ā He finished with 15 rebounds to go with his 27 points, and he’s now averaging just under 20 points per game over his last five games while also adding 7.6 rebounds. Ā With the Suns taking on the Sixers, Bucks, Pacers, and Bobcats this week, Morris is a great addition if you need a forward who can bring points and rebounds to your team for the week.

Pau Gasol-Los Angeles Lakers

Gasol had a double-double in the Lakers loss at Madison Square Garden. Ā He shot 8-15 scoring 20 points while adding 13 boards and four assists.

Brandon Bass-Boston Celtics

The sleeper line of the day for Sunday comes from another Boston big in the revolving door that is Brad Stevens frontcourt. Ā Bass got the start yesterday and was solid against the Nets scoring 17 points to go with eight rebounds, a steal, and an assist. Ā Whenever Bass gets minutes, he produces solid big-man numbers. Ā He won’t hurt your percentages (6-6 yesterday from the field), and gets boards, blocks, and points at a contributing level. Ā If you need a boost in you frontcourt and the top ten waiver wire options are unavailable, Bass is worth a look in the over 80% of leagues where he’s available.
