Monte Morris Posts Excellent Showing In Third Start
Monte Morris remained in the starting lineup for Friday’s win over the Houston Rockets in place of the injured Jamal Murray and went for 18 points, eight assists and six rebounds in 37 minutes of action. Without Murray (and Isaiah Thomas) in the fold, Morris is the only true healthy point guard the Nuggets boast, which has led to massive minutes totals the past two games. He could be in line for another healthy dose Saturday versus the Minnesota Timberwolves, which would make him both a short-term traditional fantasy play and a high-upside DFS one.

Monte Morris Questionable For Tuesday's Action
Monte Morris (back) is on the injury report with a questionable status ahead of Tuesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. An issue with his lower back may keep Morris out of the lineup for a second straight game. However, he hasn't played in any of the past five games, making Morris irrelevant in fantasy basketball. With Bradley Beal returning to the starting lineup a couple of games ago, Morris has even slipped further down the depth chart.

Monte Morris Questionable Monday
Monte Morris (hamstring) is questionable for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. The 28-year-old has dealt with hamstring soreness but returned on Saturday after missing three straight contests. If available, Minnesota will likely continue to take a conservative approach with the 28-year-old, who played just 10 minutes and scored two points on Saturday. Should Morris suit up, he will not factor into fantasy play, as he is averaging 4.8 points, 1.6 rebounds, and 2.2 assists across 18 games this season.

Monte Morris Available Saturday Versus Jazz
Monte Morris (hamstring) is available for Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. The 28-year-old was dealing with hamstring soreness that kept him out for three games. Since joining the T-Wolves in February, Morris has averaged 5.3 points and 2.9 assists in 15.7 minutes. With Morris returning to the rotation, Jordan McLaughlin will likely see less time on the court. Despite the point guard's return, he is not a viable fantasy option for Saturday.

Monte Morris In Danger Of Missing Another Game
Monte Morris (hamstring) has been listed as questionable for Saturday's matchup against Utah. The veteran guard is dealing with hamstring soreness, which has already kept him out for three games. Since joining the T-Wolves in February, Morris has averaged 5.3 points and 2.9 assists in 15.7 minutes. His absence has left the door open for Jordan McLaughlin to play a larger part in the rotation, but he's not a recommended fantasy target.
