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.

With both guards and Landry Shamet (shoulder) sidelined, Tyler Kolek and Jordan Clarkson should be in line for big minutes in the backcourt. Kolek has averaged 7.0 points, 3.8 rebounds and 5.0 assists across 19.8 minutes over his last four games.

New York will be thin at forward on Tuesday, which means Mohamed Diawara should see increased run. Despite a potential uptick in playing time, Diawara is unlikely to do enough to be worth streaming in standard 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.

Towns had a brutal night against the Heat, not scoring his first (and only) points until the third quarter. For the second time in his NBA career and first since November 2017, KAT failed to score at least six points in a game. Fantasy managers should not be concerned about Towns long-term, but this was a rough way for him to end Week 9. The Knicks open a three-game Week 10 on Tuesday against the Timberwolves.

Anunoby has shot 41.4 percent from the field over the last two weeks, which explains why his season-long fantasy value has slipped just outside of the top-50. However, Sunday’s performance was good, as he shot 50 percent from the field and recorded a complete stat line. Anunoby and the Knicks play three games in Week 10, starting with the Timberwolves on Tuesday.

For the first time this season, Bridges has failed to record a steal or blocked shot in consecutive games. However, his offensive production has increased, with the Knicks wing having scored at least 20 points in three straight games for the first time since late October. Bridges remains a top-10 player in nine-cat formats and a top-20 player in eight-cat. For a player who entered the year with a Yahoo! ADP in the eighties, this has been an excellent first third of the season for Bridges.

Brunson was rolling from the start on Sunday, scoring 27 points in the first half. The Heat couldn’t come up with an answer for the Knicks guard after the break either. His 47 points were a season-high and the most he’s scored in a game at Madison Square Garden. Brunson and the Knicks now have a friendlier week from a scheduling standpoint, as they play three games in Week 10 without a back-to-back.

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.

Much to the delight of those in attendance or watching on TV, Robinson and Philadelphia’s Andre Drummond put on a shooting clinic. The latter handled the three-point shooting, but the Knicks’ center shot 7-of-8 from the foul line. Robinson entered Friday shooting 6-of-27 (22.2 percent) from the charity stripe. Between the free throws and points, with this being Robinson’s first 20-point game since February 2020, the 7-footer had a massive night. That said, he’s rostered in only seven percent of Yahoo! leagues for a reason. Be sure to keep the expectations in check, fantasy managers.

For the second time in his last three appearances, Bridges failed to record a steal or blocked shot on Friday. The good news for those who have him rostered is that the Knicks wing was productive in the offensive categories. Also, this is the first time that Bridges has scored 20 points or more in at least two consecutive games since New York’s final three games of October. The Knicks end Week 9 with a home game against the Heat on Sunday.

Towns finished Friday’s defeat with his 18th double-double of the season and third in his last five appearances. He’s dealt with some lower-body injuries recently, which may factor into the relative lack of double-doubles. However, Towns has still been a top-20 player in nine-cat formats over the last two weeks. He’ll look to end Week 9 on a high note when the Knicks host the Heat on Sunday.

Brunson was one of three Knicks to score at least 21 points on Friday, but his percentages may have been evidence of some fatigue. Of course, Philadelphia’s VJ Edgecombe deserves credit for his work on defense, but Brunson’s shooting 1-of-7 from three was not the norm for him. And he’ll have one more game to navigate during Week 9, with the Knicks hosting the Heat on Sunday.

Hart and Towns are back after sitting out Thursday’s win over the Pacers, with Mohamed Diawara and Ariel Hukporti heading to the bench. Neither player is guaranteed to remain in the rotation, as Miles McBride and Landry Shamet are the lone Knicks regulars who are not available.

While McBride has been cleared to resume individual on-court work, he still has not taken the step of participating in group practices. His absence has led to more minutes for Tyler Kolek, who had the best game of his NBA career in Thursday’s win over the Pacers. That said, the Knicks would have to lose another rotation player before Kolek would be worth the risk as a streamer.

As expected, Towns will suit up after initially being listed as probable. He missed Thursday’s game and will return after just a one-game absence. That will push Ariel Hukporti back to the bench, and with Mitchell Robinson available as well, Hukporti will likely be out of the rotation entirely.

Hart looks like he’ll be available after sitting out the Knicks’ first game of a back-to-back against the Pacers on Thursday. The 30-year-old shooting guard will be one of the Knicks’ main rotation players and might even find his way into the starting lineup.

Towns got the night of Thursday against the Pacers, the Knicks’ first game since winning the NBA Cup on Tuesday. The 30-year-old center appears poised to make his return Friday against the 76ers given his probable listing. Ariel Hukporti, who started and played 27 minutes Thursday, will head back to the bench.

Harper came off the bench and led the Spurs with 24 points in 23 minutes against the Wizards Thursday. The 19-year-old point guard continues to impress after being made the No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. Harper isn’t quite a standard league option yet with all the options ahead of him on the Spurs, but that could change by the end of the year.

Kolek remained with the bench unit on Thursday, but the absences of Karl-Anthony Towns and Josh Hart meant that the Knicks were going to need more from their backup point guard. He answered the call, recording career-highs in points and assists while recording a complete stat line. Kolek can’t offer much value to fantasy managers when the Knicks are at full strength, but his emergence as a reliable option could prove huge for the team later this season. Jordan Clarkson also had a good night off the bench, adding 18 points (6-of-12 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), three rebounds, one assist, one steal and five three-pointers.

While Karl-Anthony Towns, Josh Hart and Mitchell Robinson were held out of Thursday’s game, there was no doubt that Bridges was going to extend his games played streak. He only had one blocked shot on Thursday, but the points, rebounds, assists and three-pointers were more than adequate. While he’s slipped just outside the top-20 in eight-cat per-game value, Bridges is still providing first-round value in nine-cat.

Brunson and the Knicks, who were without Karl-Anthony Towns, Josh Hart and Mitchell Robinson, were sluggish to begin Thursday’s game. Given Tuesday’s NBA Cup final, that was understandable. But the Knicks received key contributions from the bench, and in the end, it was Brunson who delivered the win. His three-pointer with 4.4 seconds remaining was the difference as New York extended its win streak to six games. Hopefully, Brunson will be available for Friday’s game against the 76ers, but league schedule-makers did not do their teams any favors by scheduling back-to-backs this soon out of the NBA Cup.

After winning the NBA Cup on Tuesday, the Knicks are taking it easy against the Pacers.

Hart is one of three Knicks rotation players who will sit out the first game of the team’s back-to-back, with Karl-Anthony Towns and Mitchell Robinson being the others.

Robinson and Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) are both questionable. If Robinson plays and KAT doesn’t, he’ll get the opportunity to start and should dominate the Pacers down low.

Wembanyama only played 25 minutes after playing 21 minutes in his first game back from a calf injury on Saturday. The 21-year-old power forward had an incredible stretch at the end of the third quarter where he scored 10 consecutive points.

Anunoby is averaging 16.2 points per game this season, but has now scored at least 21 points in three of his last four games.

Vassell led the way for the Spurs in what was a balanced scoring effort, with four players scoring at least 22 points in Saturday’s victory. And he needed the slump-buster, having totaled 13 points on 3-of-15 shooting in the Spurs’ prior two games. Vassell’s performance on Saturday was especially encouraging because it came with Victor Wembanyama available, even if the big man’s minutes were limited. For the season, Vassell is closing in on top-75 value in nine-cat formats, exceeding his Yahoo! ADP (97).

The reigning Rookie of the Year took a beating on Saturday, finishing with both a bloody lip and a bloody nose, and he was also responsible for six turnovers. However, Castle’s turnover issues were limited mainly to the first quarter, as he and the other Spurs appeared to be pressing. Victor Wembanyama subbing in to begin the second quarter certainly helped calm some nerves. Castle has scored at least 20 points in seven games this season, and his scoring average is nearly four points higher than his rookie year number (14.7). Next up for Castle and the Spurs are the Knicks in Tuesday’s NBA Cup final, which will not count toward team records or statistics.

Wembanyama made his long-awaited return to the court on Saturday, but fans and fantasy managers had to wait a little longer than they expected. The Spurs did not play him at all in the first quarter, and Wemby logged just seven minutes in the second quarter. The goal was to ensure that Wembanyama’s minutes restriction would not be an issue in the fourth quarter, and the approach worked. He only needed 21 minutes to record an excellent stat line, showing why he’s considered one of the NBA’s premier talents. Tuesday’s NBA Cup final against the Knicks won’t count towards stats or fantasy basketball, but the Spurs will have three other games in Week 9.

Saturday’s NBA Cup semifinal will be Wembanyama’s first game since November 14, and the Spurs will not take any chances with his health. He’ll be restricted in two ways: the Spurs will sub him out earlier than usual, resulting in shorter stints on the court, and his overall playing time will decrease. Luke Kornet will shift back into his usual backup center role, but his ceiling may be slightly higher than usual due to the restrictions the team is imposing on Wembanyama.
