Fox is dealing with tightness in his left adductor. If he’s unable to play, Dylan Harper and Julian Champagnie are potential replacements in the starting lineup. While Harper boasts a higher long-term ceiling, fantasy managers needing three-pointers should not sleep on Champagnie if he starts.

Gueye did not play in Tuesday’s loss to the Bulls, which meant starters Onyeka Okongwu and Jalen Johnson played 36 and 39 minutes, respectively. Asa Newell’s playing time has increased, but the rookie is only worth a look in dynasty formats.

At this stage in his career, fantasy managers know what they’re going to get from Barnes. While his fantasy ceiling is limited, the floor is stable, and availability won’t be an issue. He finished Thursday’s victory a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line, but over the last two weeks, Barnes is ranked outside the top-200 in eight- and nine-cat formats. Even with his performance against the Thunder, fantasy managers can afford to leave Barnes on the waiver wire.

Wembanyama and Oklahoma City’s Chet Holmgren may not say much about a “rivalry” between them, but the matchups bring added juice whenever their teams meet. Wemby, who is still on a minutes restriction, recorded a double-double in just 25 minutes off the bench. The Spurs aren’t going to rush anything with their phenom, so Luke Kornet (six points, four rebounds, one assist and one block in 22 minutes) remains in the starting lineup. The Spurs host the Jazz on Saturday in their final game of Week 10.

The lone negative for Castle on Christmas Day was the turnover count, as he was responsible for four. However, he shot the ball efficiently and led the Spurs in assists. The improved shooting has pushed the reigning Rookie of the Year into the top-75 in eight-cat formats. Rostered in 69 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Castle is still lurking on a few 12-team league waiver wires. Now is a good time to change that.

Limited to six points in Tuesday’s win over the Thunder, Fox was outstanding in Thursday’s rematch. Finishing with a game-high 29 points, he shot 9-of-11 from the field in the first half. Some of Fox’s teammates took over in the second half to help San Antonio move to 3-0 against the Thunder this season. Fox is providing fourth-round value in eight-cat formats, and the partnership between him and Stephon Castle continues to strengthen.

Castle hit the metaphorical turbo button in the second half, knocking down 5-of-6 shots from the floor during that span, helping topple the injury-riddled Thunder with an impressive scoring display. The 21-year-old second-year guard has recorded at least 17 points in seven consecutive contests since December 8. He’s made a noticeable leap this season, averaging 18.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 7.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.4 blocks through 20 games. He’ll attempt to keep the momentum going when the two teams face off again on Christmas Day in Oklahoma City.

Wembanyama, who came off the bench for the sixth straight game as he continues working his way back to full strength from a calf injury, failed to record a block for the first time in 101 games. The positive news here is that the Spurs have won 14 of their last 17 games, including seven straight. The 21-year-old generational talent will likely be on a minutes restriction once again when San Antonio faces off against the Thunder on Christmas Day in Oklahoma City.

Johnson was the unexpected X-factor in a highly-anticipated showdown between a pair of Western Conference heavyweights, draining a season-high five three-pointers to surpass the 20-point mark for the first time since November 30. The 26-year-old is a bit of an afterthought for San Antonio on most nights but he’s played over 20 minutes in seven of 10 games since the start of December.

Through three games since returning from an MCL sprain, Young has played 20, 26 and 31 minutes. His season high for minutes allowed him to have his second-most assists in a game this season, with the most coming in his final game before injuring his knee. He had 17 assists in that game, which was also against Chicago. Young is getting closer to playing a full workload consistently, and the most impressive part is that he has a total of six turnovers since returning. Last season, he averaged 4.7 per game. It seems unlikely that he’ll continue to keep the turnovers in check, but if he can at least keep them down, he’ll become far more valuable in category formats.

Johnson fell one rebound shy of a triple-double just two days after finishing one assist shy of one. Both were also one-possession losses to the Bulls. Even with Trae Young (knee) back, Johnson continues to stuff the stat sheet and be one of the best players in fantasy basketball. In the three games Trae has played since returning, Johnson is averaging 34.3 points, 10.3 rebounds and 9.3 assists per game. That may not hold, but he clearly won’t see his value tank with Young back.

With Dyson Daniels (hip) sidelined, NAW returned to the starting unit. Since Trae Young (knee) returned to the lineup last week, NAW has started two of Atlanta’s four games and has scored at least 20 points in three of those. He’s at his best as a starter, and he’ll continue to get starting opportunities as the season progresses. However, he’ll still be worthy of a roster spot in standard leagues even as a reserve.

Wembanyama has been available for all four official games the Spurs have played since returning from a strained calf. However, he has not played more than 21 minutes in any of those outings, and there’s a chance that Wemby won’t play on Tuesday. Luke Kornet has remained in the starting lineup, and that may not change even if Wembanyama plays. What would change if Wemby sits is that Kelly Olynyk would pick up rotation minutes off the bench.

Daniels is dealing with right hip inflammation, so he won’t play in Tuesday’s rematch with the Bulls. Nickeil Alexander-Walker, who started when Trae Young was out, is the player most likely to replace Daniels in the lineup. He was already worth rostering in 12-team leagues.

Fox served as San Antonio’s primary offensive catalyst, delivering a robust all-around effort in a stat sheet-stuffing performance. He knocked down 5-of-7 from three-point range and shot 52.6 percent from the floor on a team-leading 19 attempts. The 28-year-old guard has been in a little bit of a rut from a scoring standpoint over the past week so it was a positive sign to see him get back on track in this one. The Spurs are back in action with a three-game week that includes a pair of matchups against the Thunder before closing the week against the Jazz.

Wemby recorded his second straight double-double, accomplishing the feat in just over 21 minutes off the bench. The 22-year-old franchise cornerstone has had a governor on his workload since returning last weekend from an extended absence due to a calf injury. However, he’s remained productive from a fantasy standpoint, averaging 19.3 points, 10.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 0.5 steals and 2.5 blocks during that four-game span.

Young showed few signs of rust in just his second game back since October 29 due to a knee injury, heating up down the home stretch of a high-scoring slugfest. He buried a clutch three-pointer with 23 seconds remaining to pull it back to a one-possession game, then had a chance to force overtime on the final shot of regulation, but his fallaway 16-footer came up short. It’s possible Atlanta will keep a governor on his workload for the next few games but he remains an elite scoring threat even in that scenario. The Hawks are back in action on Tuesday with a rematch against the Bulls before facing the Heat and Knicks to close out a three-game week.

Johnson buried a three-pointer in the final seconds to pull Atlanta within one point but they were unable to complete the comeback as Trae Young’s potential game-tying jumper rimmed out as time expired. The 24-year-old offensive catalyst has been one of the most impactful all-around fantasy contributors this season, delivering 23.8 points, 10.5 rebounds, 8.2 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.4 blocks through 27 games. His ascension to elite fantasy status doesn’t appear to be a mirage.

Okongwu knocked down 7-of-9 first-half shot attempts to finish with a game-high 17 points as both teams shot over 55 percent from the floor and combined for a whopping 156 points. He was relatively quiet during the final two quarters as Jalen Johnson and Trae Young spearheaded Atlanta’s comeback effort that fell just short on the game’s final possession. The 25-year-old big man has experienced a significant uptick in minutes recently with Kristaps Porziņģis sidelined due to illness.

He was productive as a reserve on Thursday, finishing with 28 points off the bench. He kept hat going as a starter. Even with Young back, NAW will continue to provide standard-league value. He’ll continue to play plenty of minutes, even if he is coming off the bench.

24 hours after setting a new career high with 43 points, Johnson wasn’t able to keep his hot streak going. This was his ninth straight game with a double-double, but he had his fewest assists in a game since Nov. 7, and he set a new season high for turnovers. This was a subpar performance for Johnson when compared to what he’s done recently, and he’ll look to get back on track against the Bulls on Sunday.

Wemby led San Antonio in scoring and recorded a double-double for the first time in over a month while only playing 22 minutes. He came off the bench again, but he once again dominated during his minutes on the floor. Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said before the game that Wemby wasn’t on a specific minutes restriction, but they wanted to be mindful of his minutes. He could’ve played longer if the game was closer, which is a good sign for his continued progression.

This was the second straight game that Castle put up this exact stat line. Seriously. The only difference was one fewer field goal attempt and one fewer free throw attempt in this one. Castle could’ve been more productive in both if the scores were closer, and Sunday’s game in Washington doesn’t provide much optimism for a closer outing. Castle has been effective, but he only played 24 minutes after playing 25 minutes on Thursday. They play the Thunder twice next week, so Castle’s minutes should go up for those games at least.

Vassell led the Spurs starters in scoring in a homecoming game for him. He also played a team-high 27 minutes, which was limited by the lopsided score. Vassell played well in this game, and he’s averaging 19.7 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 3.7 triples per game over his last three outings. He’ll look to keep it going in Washington on Sunday to wrap up the week.

No surprise here after Young returned from a knee injury and played 20 minutes against the Hornets on Thursday.

Young’s next chance to play will come Sunday against the Bulls. Dyson Daniels and Jalen Johnson will have more playmaking responsibilities in his absence Friday.

Young was understandably a little rusty in his first game action since October 29. The 27-year-old point guard’s shooting was just a little off as he went 3-of-8 from the field including 0-of-5 from behind the three-point line. Young’s playmaking ability was still apparent as he dished out 10 assists. He played 20 minutes, though that will increase in future games. The Hawks play the Spurs on Friday and the Bulls on Sunday, giving Young multiple chances to see his minutes increase this week.

Recalled from the Hawks’ G League affiliate on Wednesday morning, Young’s status for Thursday night has been upgraded. His availability affects multiple players, starting with Nickeil Alexander-Walker.

Also, Jalen Johnson and Dyson Daniels will likely see their respective usage rates decrease once Young is a full go.

Young was assigned to the G League for a practice on Tuesday and has now been recalled to Atlanta, with the team set to practice on Wednesday. If Young’s knee responds well to a practice with the team, he could certainly make a return this weekend. They have a back-to-back on Thursday and Friday, so he’d likely only play in one of those games if he’s made available by then. If not, they host the Bulls on Sunday. Young may have his minutes limited in his first game back, but he has never come off the bench in his career, so Nickeil Alexander-Walker will likely return to a reserve role when the time comes. However, NAW saw plenty of usage early on before Young’s injury, so having Trae back in the lineup shouldn’t decimate his value. However, NAW, Dyson Daniels and Jalen Johnson will all take a slight usage hit when last season’s assists leader returns.

While Krejčí’s production has not been consistent enough to make him a factor in fantasy basketball, he’s had his moments. The 19 points scored on Sunday were the most in a game for Krejčí since November 22, when he dropped 21 on the Pelicans. Rostered in five percent of Yahoo! leagues, he has been close to a top-100 player over the past two weeks. However, with Trae Young (knee) returning to practice next week and the Hawks being off until Thursday, there’s no need to add Krejčí following his showing against the 76ers.

With his most recent triple-double, Johnson made history on Sunday. He’s now up to eight in his career, passing Mookie Blaylock (seven) for the most in franchise history. Also, Johnson’s streak of four straight triple-doubles ties him with Denver’s Nikola Jokić for the longest current run in the NBA. While there is some fear that Trae Young’s eventual return from a knee injury may lower Johnson’s ceiling, fantasy managers should not panic. The Hawks play three games in Week 9, starting with Charlotte on Thursday.

For the first time this season, Daniels has recorded a double-double in consecutive games. And in what was his most productive night of the season, the defensive ace notched a season-high point total while shooting well over 50 percent from the field.

The Hawks’ center shot 1-of-7 inside the arc while making 50 percent of his three-point attempts. That said, the overall stat line more than compensates for the poor shooting.

Vassell’s performance on Saturday was especially encouraging because it came with Victor Wembanyama available, even if the big man’s minutes were limited.

However, Castle’s turnover issues were limited mainly to the first quarter, as he and the other Spurs appeared to be pressing.
