Markieff Morris draws the start Monday versus the 76ers, Jorge Castillo of the Washington Post reports.

Morris will enter the starting lineup at power forward Monday versus the 76ers, Jorge Castillo of The Washington Post reports.

Analysis:

After coming off the bench in his first six games with the Wizards, Morris will earn his first starting appointment, replacing Jared Dudley. Since being traded to the Wizards, Morris is averaging 6.8 points, 4.7 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 1.3 steals, and 0.8 blocks in 22 minutes. Given that he's now starting, it's likely that his minutes will begin to tick upward, but he'll probably need to perform well immediately if he hopes to stick in the role for the long haul.
