Ja Morant Held In Check By Suffocating Jazz Defense
5 years agoMemphis Grizzlies rookie point guard JA Morant got a master class in defending by the Utah Jazz on Friday, who held the standout to 11 points on 4-for-13 shooting in defeat. While Morant turned the ball over just twice, the scoring marked his lowest output since Nov. 11. Entering the contest with back-to-back double-doubles to his credit, Morant accrued just four assists, while tossing in three rebounds during his 31 minutes. He should have a much easier go of it Sunday against Minnesota, and if his DFS price tag dips enough following Friday’s showing, owners would be prudent to snatch up the rookie in a variety of contests.
