Talen Horton-Tucker, Markieff Morris Draw Starts Wednesday
4 years agoThe Los Angeles Lakers shook up their starting five for Wednesday's contest against Utah, elevating shooting guard/small forward Talen Horton-Tucker and power forward/center Markieff Morris to the starting lineup. Horton-Tucker takes the place of Wesley Matthews, with the second-year wing earning his second career start. Horton-Tucker has shown flashes of offensive brilliance when given the opportunity, as he stands to be a DFS upside play for those fantasy managers that are still able to slot him into lineups. Morris starts ahead of Kyle Kuzma, whose fantasy value may actually be aided by leading the second unit. The start marks the third of the year for Morris, who has combined for 17 points and 10 boards in previous starting gigs in 2020-21.
