The Toronto Raptors are one of the teams expressing interest in Phoenix Suns forwards Markieff Morris and P.J. Tucker, according to ESPN's Marc Stein.

Both are known to be available with the Suns effectively out of postseason contention. Morris is believed to have worn out his welcome in the desert thanks to previous remarks, but he remains on various teams' wish lists. A report out of Cleveland last month had the Cavaliers intrigued with obtaining the power forward.

Concerns aside, Morris figures to be one of the bigger names moved before the Feb. 18 trade deadline. He's averaging 10.8 points and 5.1 rebounds on career-low 39.8 percent shooting from the field, but is still highly valued for his upside.

Tucker had his best NBA season with the Suns two years ago when he hit career highs of 9.4 points and 6.5 rebounds per game on 38.7 percent 3-point shooting. In 50 games this season, Tucker - the Suns starting small forward - is averaging 6.8 points on a field goal percentage of 40.5.

The Raptors could use help at both the forward spots. Luis Scola is giving the team starters' minutes at the four, and the squad is currently reliant on Terrence Ross in the wing department with injuries to DeMarre Carroll and James Johnson.

Tucker was drafted by the Raptors in the second round in 2006 and played 17 games with Toronto as a rookie. After five years overseas, he returned to the NBA with the Suns in 2012. He has one year left on his contract after this season worth $5.3 million.
