Suns' Monte Morris: Scores 20 points in spot start
Monte Morris delivered 20 points (7-12 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 26 minutes in Sunday's 118-114 preseason win over the Nuggets.Morris got the start Sunday in place of Tyus Jones, as the Phoenix Suns decided to rest their key players with the regular season right around the corner. Even though Morris took advantage of this opportunity to deliver a solid showing Sunday, he's not expected to carve a meaningful role for the Suns once the regular season begins, at least from a fantasy perspective.

Suns' Monte Morris: Gets spot start Sunday
Monte Morris will start Sunday's preseason game against the Nuggets, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.Morris will enter the starting lineup due to Phoenix's starting five getting the night off. Morris could work his way into the rotation behind Tyus Jones, but the ball dominance of the team's top players limits the fantasy relevance of all of the team's role players, let alone one in Morris' situation.

Timberwolves' Monte Morris: Muted role Friday
Monte Morris produced two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and two rebounds in 11 minutes during Friday's 111-98 win over the Nuggets.Morris managed just 11 minutes in the win, continuing to play a limited role for his new team. While he does provide the Minnesota Timberwolves with depth at the point guard position, there is little chance of him appearing on the fantasy radar. Even when playing starter's minutes, Morris has struggled to be anything more than a streaming consideration. Playing as the second- or third-string point guard makes him a non-factor.

Timberwolves' Monte Morris: Iffy for Monday
Monte Morris (hamstring) is questionable for Monday's game against the Jazz.Morris returned to the lineup Saturday after missing the team's last three games due to a hamstring strain that has his status up in the air Monday. The Minnesota Timberwolves will likely continue to take a conservative approach with Morris, easing him back into action. Even if he is cleared to play, it would be surprising if he sees ample playing time.
