Sochan has been a non-factor in fantasy basketball, but he may have a few more minutes if he plays on Thursday. Luke Kornet (adductor) is also questionable for Thursday night, and using Sochan as a small-ball five when Victor Wembanyama is off the floor could be preferable to inserting Bismack Biyombo into the rotation. However, this is only an option if Kornet can’t play.

Kornet is dealing with left adductor tightness, and his absence could result in Bismack Biyombo moving into the rotation. However, the Spurs could also go small when Victor Wembanyama is off the court, so there’s no need to roster Biyombo in fantasy leagues.

Holiday is dealing with back spasms, which is why he is on the injury report. The guard’s availability does not affect fantasy basketball, as he isn’t guaranteed rotation minutes when healthy.

Like Victor Wembanyama, Castle had a rough night shooting the basketball. The good news for fantasy managers was that the rebounds and assists were solid, and Castle kept the turnovers (three) in check. While his place in the Spurs’ starting lineup makes Castle a player to roster in 12-team formats, fantasy managers have taken a hit due to his efficiency issues.

Tuesday’s game ranks among the worst in Wembanyama’s two-plus NBA season. In addition to missing all seven of his three-point attempts, the Spurs center was 5-of-14 from inside the arc. Add in the lack of defensive stats, and there wasn’t much to like about Wembanyama’s final line beyond the ten rebounds. He’ll look to bounce back on Thursday against the Jazz.

As a team, the Spurs shot 14-of-50 from beyond the arc. Just imagine what the percentage would have been if Champagnie weren’t 8-of-16 by himself. Once again filling in for the injured Devin Vassell, Champagnie has been a 12th-round player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. While the overall fantasy value isn’t great, Julian should be rostered by managers seeking three-point production while Vassell remains out.

Thompson recorded another robust stat line, continuing to offer excellent fantasy value. The Rockets’ guard/forward has been a top-50 player in eight- and nine-cat formats. While the value may not align with his Yahoo! ADP (21), Thompson is only two rounds off after getting off to a slow start to begin the season. Something to watch is whether Houston adds a point guard ahead of the trade deadline, as that would affect Thompson’s fantasy ceiling.

On a night when Houston’s starters didn’t have their best stuff early on, Sheppard gave the Rockets important production off the bench. The second-year guard shot 5-of-10 from the field in the second half, and the 21 points were the most he’s scored in a game since a December 20 win over the Nuggets in which he tallied 28. Sheppaed has been ranked outside the top-200 in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks, so the season-long value has taken a hit. That said, he’s capable of having nights like Tuesday when he offers excellent production.

After going off for a season-high 39 in a January 17 win over the Timberwolves, Durant has totaled 36 over his last two games. However, he was more efficient on Tuesday than in Sunday’s win over the Pelicans, and the seven assists were a nice bonus for fantasy managers. Durant has recorded 22 assists over the last three games and has offered second-round value in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks.

Şengün finished Tuesday’s comeback victory one assist shy of his second triple-double of the season. While he only attempted two shots in the fourth quarter, the Rockets’ center’s basket with 38.6 seconds remaining extended his team’s lead to four. Houston held San Antonio to 14 points in the final frame. Houston now hits the road for a challenging back-to-back, visiting Philadelphia on Thursday and Detroit the following night.

The Rockets lost Steven Adams to a Grade 3 ankle sprain during Sunday’s win over the Pelicans, opening up a spot in the starting lineup. While Tari Eason (ankle) is available after a five-game absence, he’ll come off the bench, with Okogie receiving the starting nod.

Counting Tuesday’s game against the Rockets, Vassell has missed San Antonio’s last 12 games with a strained left adductor. While Johnson’s update was positive, the Spurs’ wing does not have a return timeline. Julian Champagnie has been a solid streaming option as Vassell’s replacement in the starting lineup.

Adams left Sunday’s game against the Pelicans with an ankle injury and didn’t return. While X-rays were negative, Udoka told reporters Tuesday that Adams is dealing with a Grade 3 ankle sprain and he’s out indefinitely. With Adams sidelined, Tari Eason will move back into the starting lineup and Clint Capela could move into the rotation as the backup center.

Eason is returning from a five-game absence due to an ankle injury. With Steven Adams (ankle) now set to miss extended time, Eason should slide right back into the starting lineup against the Spurs on Tuesday.

Bryant has only played a small role for San Antonio this season, but he was able to see a bump in minutes in this game, which allowed him to set a new career high for points. Bryant hasn’t made much of a fantasy impact as a rookie, but he holds plenty of upside for dynasty managers. He has elite upside as a defender, so seeing him have a decent scoring night is encouraging. However, this doesn’t make him worth rostering in redraft leagues.

Harper has shown plenty of flashes throughout his rookie season, but he hasn’t had many games where he’s been impactful for fantasy managers, especially as of late. However, the combination of shooting efficiency and counting stats changed that for at least this game. He hasn’t been a reliable option in standard leagues, and the Spurs are too good for him to see a late-season bump, but this game is a good reminder that he is an elite asset in dynasty leagues.

Wemby was once again able to have a monster performance. He has taken fewer three-pointers this season, which has helped his field goal percentage. However, over his last three games, he is averaging 5.3 triples per game, and he set a new season high against Utah. During that stretch, he’s averaging 31.3 points, 9.7 rebounds and 2.0 blocks to go with the triples while also shooting better than 50 percent from the floor in each game. He’ll look to stay hot in Houston on Tuesday.

Eason has missed the last five games for the Rockets but could be back in the lineup to take on San Antonio. Steven Adams started in his place in Houston’s last game, but Josh Okogie had been starting previously. Eason would likely start if he returns.

Adams, who started alongside Alperen Şengün, needed help getting back to the locker room after rolling his left ankle during the fourth quarter. The good news is that X-rays were negative, so the veteran center is dealing with a sprain. However, Adams is likely going to miss some time, which should push Clint Capela (DNP-CD) into the rotation.

Durant didn’t shoot the ball well, making one of his eight three-point attempts, but that didn’t prevent him from making some history. With a fourth-quarter free throw, he passed Dirk Nowitzki to move into sixth on the all-time scoring list. The next name on the storied list is Michael Jordan. Durant didn’t have his best night scoring-wise, but he did dish out eight assists to preserve some value. He’ll look to have a better night on Tuesday against the Spurs.

Şengün had a good night, shooting 66.7 percent from the field and matching his career-high with five steals. If there has been an issue for the Rockets’ center recently, it has been the foul line. Over the past two weeks, Şengün has only made 45.8 percent of his attempts. Sunday’s 3-of-5 effort is a step in the right direction, and he’s still shooting 69.9 percent for the season.

All that was missing from Thompson’s stat line was a three-pointer, but that’s a common occurrence for the third-year guard. Over the past two weeks, he has been close to a top-50 player. While that isn’t on par with his Yahoo! ADP (21), Thompson’s production has been consistent. The Rockets play three games in Week 14.

On a night when teammate Kevin Durant made some personal history, Smith had one of the best games of his NBA career. The Rockets’ forward finished with a season-high point total, and the seven three-pointers were a career-high. And to say Smith needed a night like Sunday would be an understatement. Even with this performance, he’s shot 36.1 percent from the field over the past two weeks. Smith will look to carry the momentum into a three-game Week 14 that begins on Tuesday against the Spurs.

Having totaled 16 points on 5-of-14 shooting in his previous two appearances, Johnson needed a good Saturday night. He answered the call, providing needed production off the bench to help the Spurs avoid losing a game they led by as much as 25. Over the past two weeks, Johnson has offered 11th-round value in eight-cat formats, and that’s with lackluster assist and steals production. While he has a limited fantasy ceiling, Johnson’s floor is solid.

With backcourt partner Stephon Castle (8/6/9/3 with two three-pointers) playing through an illness, Fox took his game up a notch on Saturday. In recording his fourth double-double of the season, the Spurs’ guard matched his season-high with 12 assists. Shooting 43.7 percent from the field, Fox has been an 11th-round player over the past two weeks in eight-cat formats.

With Rudy Gobert unavailable and Naz Reid leaving after five minutes, Saturday’s game appeared to be one in which Wembanyama would have little trouble putting up a gaudy stat line. That’s what happened, and the Spurs needed each of Wemby’s 39 points to hold off Anthony Edwards. Over the past two weeks, Wembanyama has been a top-10 player in nine-cat formats. The Spurs play four games in Week 14, starting with the Jazz on Monday.

On Thursday, Durant had one of his worst shooting performances of the season in a blowout loss to the Thunder. However, he was able to respond with one of his best games of the year. The turnovers and free throws were suboptimal, but he set a new season high for scoring and was still effective as a playmaker. Durant hasn’t been as effective this year as he’s been in the past, but he’s still more than capable of outings like this from time to time.

Though it was an abysmal night from the free throw line, Şengün was able to record his third-straight double-double while posting a full stat line. The poor free throw percentage dragged his overall value down in this game, but he was able to do enough for help Houston get the win before fouling out late in the game. They’ll wrap up the week against the Pelicans on Sunday, which is a favorable matchup for Şengün to have another big night.

Adams played 25 minutes off the bench in Thursday’s loss to the Thunder. His absence from the injury report means he’ll be available for both ends of a back-to-back for the first time this season. Alperen Şengün is locked in as the starting center, which limits Adams’ fantasy upside.

Eason has missed Houston’s last three games, most recently sitting out Thursday’s loss to the Thunder. Josh Okogie has started the previous two, but his production in that role has been limited.

Fox was one of several Spurs players who found production in limited minutes on Thursday. The veteran guard logged just 23 minutes of action, thanks to a comfortable Spurs lead, but still nearly finished with 20 points. Fox’s trio of three-pointers was important as far as fantasy basketball is concerned, though he didn’t have much of an impact elsewhere. Regardless, he performed well in his minutes and should be a bit more rested for Saturday’s game against the Timberwolves.

Castle needed just 26 minutes of game action on Thursday to secure his first double-double in nearly one month. The second-year guard scored efficiently from the floor, and while he reached double figures in assists, the zero turnovers he committed were perhaps even more impressive. The balanced performance was the second consecutive for Castle, who had struggled to produce previously for a short period. Now that he appears to be out of a slump, fantasy managers should expect him to remain productive against the Timberwolves on Saturday.

The Spurs dominated the Bucks on the scoreboard on Thursday, limiting Wembanyama to just 22 minutes of game action. Yet, the versatile third-year center didn’t need much time to log a nice stat line. The former first-overall pick had a big night from beyond the arc, making all but one of his six attempts en route to concluding as the only Spurs player with 20 or more points. He also pulled down double-digit rebounds to secure yet another double-double on the season. Wembanyama continues to put up great numbers and remains one of the most productive fantasy basketball options.

Şengün recorded his 18th double-double of the season on Thursday, with this being the first time since before Christmas that he’s recorded one in consecutive games. The Rockets’ center’s fantasy progress was somewhat derailed by injuries that sidelined him for five of seven games after Christmas, but he appeared to be getting back on track. The good news for Şengün managers is that the Rockets still have two games left in Week 13.

While double-doubles have been the norm for frontcourt partner Alperen Şengün, that hasn’t been the case for Smith. On Thursday, he recorded his eighth of the season and second since going on a run of four consecutive games with a double-double in mid-December. Rostered in 47 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Smith has been a 12th-round player in eight-cat formats over the past month.

The Rockets had a rough night shooting the ball, making 34 percent of their field-goal attempts overall and 7-of-24 from beyond the arc. Durant missed all five of his three-point attempts, but the production in other categories, most notably rebounds and steals, should help compensate for the inefficient scoring to an extent. He’ll look to bounce back on Friday in what should be another challenging matchup, as the Rockets host the Timberwolves.

Castle had just 11 points and shot 2-of-11 from the field in Sunday’s loss to the Timberwolves. He also wasn’t that great the game before with nine points on 3-of-16 shooting against the Celtics. Castle bounced back with as many points as he had had in the previous two games (20) against the Thunder on Tuesday. He was also just three rebounds and two assists shy of a triple-double. Castle will look to build on this performance Thursday against the Bucks.

Thompson has been on quite the scoring stretch, which continued in this game. He has scored at least 20 points in four straight games and in seven of his last eight appearances. However, the most impressive part has been his improvement at the free throw line. His free throw percentage has leaped up 12.2 percent this season, and he was outstanding from the line in this game. His last three games have been average, but prior to that, he went four straight games without missing a shot from the charity stripe. This is an encouraging development for Thompson’s upside as a shooter, which can lead to fantasy superstardom.

KD is always a consistent scorer, but his impact on the glass recently has been huge. This was his third double-double in his last five games, and he hasn’t scored less than 20 points in a game in over a month. Duran is the epitome of consistency and will continue to put up gaudy lines over the Rockets’ next three games this week, with the Thunder up next on Thursday.
