Wembanyama will be a game-time decision for Friday’s game. With the Spurs locked into the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference playoffs, Wemby and the Spurs’ sole motivation for him to play may be to ensure he’s eligible for postseason awards. He needs to play at least 20 minutes in one of San Antonio’s final two games to be eligible. Expect to see plenty of Luke Kornet on Friday.

Between Curry’s recent return and the Warriors being locked into the No. 10 seed in the West, it’s unsurprising that he won’t play in one of the team’s next two games. If Gui Santos can play, he’ll take on a prominent role within the Warriors’ offense. Pat Spencer and LJ Cryer should see their minutes increase as well.

With no Victor Wembanyama for Wednesday’s game, Bryant effectively served as the backup center against the Trail Blazers. And the look caused the visitors some trouble defensively, with the rookie forward stepping out to shoot 5-of-6 from beyond the arc. Whether the Spurs will call on that smaller lineup on occasion during the playoffs remains to be seen. Carter showed on Wednesday that he’s capable of taking on that responsibility if called upon.

Johnson was one of six Spurs to finish Wednesday’s victory in double figures, recording his first 20-point stat line since March 23. Yet to miss a game this season, Johnson is the clear betting favorite to win NBA Sixth Man of the Year, and with good reason. The Spurs forward has been consistently productive off the bench, one of the many reasons why San Antonio has the second-best record in the NBA.

Harper was one of two replacements in the Spurs’ starting lineup for Wednesday’s game, filling the void left by Stephon Castle (knee). And the rookie had a solid night overall, recording a complete stat line in 33 minutes. The lone negative was the turnover count, as Harper was responsible for five. That said, young players are going to have nights like that on occasion. Luke Kornet, who started for Victor Wembanyama, tallied 10 points, five rebounds, six assists, two steals and one three-pointer in 26 minutes.

No Victor Wembanyama or Stephon Castle for Wednesday’s game meant more scoring opportunities for Fox, whose 20 shot attempts were the most in a game for him since a March 5 win over the Pistons. And the Spurs’ guard was efficient, shooting 50 percent from the field. Fox’s turnover count was a tad high, as he was responsible for four, but he finished with an assist-to-turnover ratio of nearly 2-to-1. The Spurs are locked into the second seed in the West, so they may use Fox a little less than usual in the final two regular-season games.

The Spurs are without Stephon Castle and Victor Wembanyama, opening up two spots in the starting five. As expected, Harper and Kornet will fill the resulting voids. For those in active fantasy leagues, Harper and Kornet are worth slotting into lineups.

After missing Tuesday’s game due to a knee injury, Porziņǵis will not play on Thursday because of an illness. Given what he’s dealt with since last spring, the illness is a concern. As for Horford, he has been out since March 13. The Warriors have called on the likes of Malevy Leons and Charles Bassey in recent games to fill the void in the frontcourt.

Bassey has provided the Warriors with additional depth in the frontcourt, which is much needed as Kristaps Porziņģis and Al Horford deal with injuries.

While Curry played in Tuesday’s win over the Kings, Santos did not due to his lingering pelvic contusion.

No surprises here, as Castle and Wemby were listed as doubtful on Tuesday.

Podziemski has now scored at least 20 points in six of his last eight games. The 23-year-old guard continues to score despite the return of Stephen Curry, who is still limited to about 25 minutes per game. Podziemski has provided 11th-round per game value this season, which makes him a solid value considering his preseason ADP.

Melton’s scoring is inconsistent, but he is capable as this was his fifth game with at least 20 points since the beginning of March. The 27-year-old point guard chipped in with a little bit of everything against the Kings, adding four rebounds and five assists to his 21 points. Melton also made four three-pointers, which he hadn’t done since February.

Curry continues to play on a minutes limit of about 25 minutes per game. The 28-year-old point guard isn’t playing 40 minutes, but he’s still having a big impact on the game. Curry had two four-point plays in the second half of the second quarter against the Kings on Tuesday. That helped the Warriors to a 66-53 halftime lead and eventually the win.

Harper came off the bench and provided a significant offensive boost. He connected on all of his three-point attempts before finishing as one of San Antonio’s best scorers, but also proved to be one of the team’s best playmakers, as well. Harper has played well as a rookie. Should he eventually grow into a full-time starting role, he could have a chance to take some big steps forward from a fantasy basketball lens.

Wemby was dialed in early in this game, shooting the ball efficiently while providing his usual presence on the defensive end. Yet, he was forced to exit in the second quarter with a rib injury and never returned. Wembanyama’s third NBA season has been sensational, one that has also led to team success. His status moving forward is one to monitor with the playoffs around the corner. His next chance to play will be on Wednesday against the Trail Blazers.

Castle had himself a night. He was sensational as a facilitator, as reflected in the 13 assists he compiled, while his double-digit defensive rebounds were equally as impressive. The second-year guard also scored enough to finish as San Antonio’s leading scorer on the evening, despite not reaching the 20-point mark. Castle’s Year 2 leap has helped the Spurs become a legitimate title contender. His ability to impact multiple areas of the game also led him to a strong fantasy season.

Having totaled ten assists in his previous two games, Green matched his season high on Sunday with 12. Even better for fantasy managers, the Warriors’ forward was responsible for just one turnover. With foul trouble limiting Kristaps Porziņǵis (nine points, eight rebounds and three assists) to 23 minutes, Green’s performance was one reason why the Warriors had a chance to win in the final seconds. Stephen Curry’s return may cut into the value of some other Warriors, but Green may receive a boost from the comfort level the two veterans share.

Podziemski, who made all five of his two-point attempts on Sunday, finished with a solid overall stat line. However, his usage took a hit, largely due to Stephen Curry’s return from a knee injury. After five straight games with a usage of 21.8 or higher, Podziemski’s usage against the Rockets was 16.7. While he still provided positive value in multiple categories, there’s no denying that Podz has a lower ceiling when Curry plays, even if he comes off the bench as he did on Sunday.

With the Warriors deciding to bring Stephen Curry off the bench in his first game back from a knee injury, Santos remained in the starting lineup on Sunday. He struggled offensively, shooting 2-of-8 from beyond the arc, but the Warriors’ forward still played 32 minutes. For managers whose leagues will be active in Week 24, the Warriors play four games, starting with the Kings on Tuesday.

Appearing in a game for the first time in over two months, Curry was supposed to be restricted to 25 minutes on Sunday. He played 26, so there’s nothing to worry about there. And Curry’s impact was felt throughout his time on the court. In addition to shot-making, the elite shooter has a gravity few players in the history of the sport have possessed. Curry’s three-point attempt that would have won the game missed the mark as time expired, so he and the Warriors missed out on the storybook ending. However, simply having him on the court changes the equation for Golden State going into the postseason.

One game removed from his first double-double of the season, Vassell ended his Week 23 with another solid performance. The 18 points are the most in a game for him since March 25, when the Spurs’ wing scored 19 in a win over the Grizzlies. Vassell shot 3-of-8 from beyond the arc on Saturday, and he’s now 6-of-16 over his last two games.

Vassell’s double-double was his first of the season, and he also shot 3-of-8 from beyond the arc.

Fox’s counting stats aren’t ones to brag about — he narrowly made it into double figures as a scorer and finished with fewer than five rebounds and assists. Yet he was a team-best plus-30 in his 25 minutes, reflecting the positive impact he had on Wednesday’s game.
