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.

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.
