Marcus Morris was a healthy DNP-CD in Monday's win over the Lakers.

Morris hasn't been very effective and the Suns might regret picking him up a bit at the trade deadline. P.J. Tucker played 17 minutes in the start and has very little fantasy value.

Marcus Morris was invisible in another start on Saturday, going scoreless with zero rebounds in 11 minutes.

His brother Markieff had better luck, scoring 13 points with nine rebounds, but Marcus was overtaken by backup forward P.J. Tucker (11 points in 32 minutes). After three straight games with single-digit points, there's no reason to cling to Marcus in the hopes of a late-season surge.

Marcus Morris scored 16 points on 6-of-13 shooting (including a three) with four rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block in 24 minutes on Monday against the Nuggets.

Morris has the least amount of Robert Sarver stank on him having just arrived from Houston, and it's not that surprising to see him start to separate from his teammates. He is well worth a look in 12-14 team leagues to see if he can continue to improve amidst the chaos in Phoenix.

Marcus Morris started at small forward on Friday against the Kings, scoring 12 points on 5-of-10 shooting (including a three) with five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 28 minutes.

This won't break down any doors but this would be a good baseline for owners to expect if this situation works out for Morris -- with upside beyond that if he can grow within his role and show improvement. He comes from a better situation in Houston and by virtue of that he might have a leg up playing with a group of guys that have had the Sarver stank on them all season.

Marcus Morris played 23 minutes for 12 points, four rebounds and two 3-pointers, and was the only Sun to score in double digits in a very ugly loss to the Raptors on Wednesday night.

The Suns scored a total of 31 points in the second half and committed a season-high and U.S. Airways record 29 turnovers on the night. And the bad news doesn't stop there, as Marcin Gortat left after hearing a 'pop' in his foot, and suggested he could miss "weeks" with the injury. Jermaine O'Neal is currently tending to his young daughter, who is having heart surgery, leaving a huge hole at center in Phoenix. Hamed Hadaddi is not the answer, so look for Marcus and his brother Markieff Morris (3 points, 6 boards, 1 steal, 1 block, 1-of-7 shooting in 27 minutes) to see plenty of minutes in the middle going forward, along with Luis Scola and O'Neal, once he's back with the team.

Marcus Morris (toe) returned to practice Tuesday.

Morris should be fine for Wednesday's game against the Raptors. He's coming off his best game as a Sun -- 16 points and five rebounds in 26 minutes off the bench on Friday.

Marcus Morris (toe) did not practice on Monday, and his availability for Wednesday's game is uncertain.

Morris will test his toe in Tuesday's practice which will determine whether or not he'll be able to give it a go on Wednesday.
