It has been close to a month since McLaughlin’s last appearance in a game. With the Spurs providing no clarity on a timeline, fantasy managers should assume he’s out indefinitely. And he wasn’t a player who offered much fantasy value when healthy, either.

The Spurs have won five of their last seven games, but they were unable to outscore a red-hot Timberwolves squad without both Victor Wembanyama (calf) and Stephon Castle (hip) in this one. The 27-year-old point guard topped 25 points for the sixth time in his last seven contests. He’s delivered third-round value for fantasy purposes this season, averaging 24.1 points, 3.5 rebounds, 6.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.4 blocks through 11 games. The Spurs will kick off a four-game week on Teusday against the Grizzlies before road matchups against the Magic, Cavaliers and Pelicans.

Dunn has missed the Suns’ last five games, but he is expected to be back to take on Los Angeles. When Dunn last played, he had been filling in as a starter for Grayson Allen, but Allen has since returned. Dunn will likely play a large reserve role. Nigel Hayes-Davis will likely lose minutes with Dunn back.

Brooks has taken big strides as a scorer this season. He’s averaging career highs in points and field goal attempts while also enjoying the best field goal percentage of his career. His offensive growth has been pivotal in helping the Suns start 12-9 despite dealing with multiple injuries early on. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Phoenix only has two games next week, which will limit how much Brooks can produce.

Allen missed the last seven games with a quad injury, but he was back in the lineup for this game. He immediately returned to the starting unit but only played 26 minutes, which will likely increase as he logs more games. His return bumped Collin Gillespie to the bench, though Gillespie still logged 29 minutes as a reserve. Gillespie clearly isn’t worth dropping, even if he is coming off the bench. As for Allen, it was good to see him back on the floor. His spot in the starting unit continues to be secure.

With Mark Williams (calf) sidelined for the second leg of the Suns’ back-to-back, Ighodaro slid into the starting unit. He also logged 32 minutes, while Nick Richards only saw seven minutes of game action. It wasn’t a monster game for Ighodaro, but he seems to currently be the No. 2 center option on the depth chart currently. If Williams were to miss an extended period of time, Ighodaro would be the pickup.

Allen is back in the lineup after missing just over two weeks with a quad contusion, with his return pushing Collin Gillespie to the bench. The other change to the Suns’ starting lineup is Ighodaro, who steps in for Mark Williams. With this being Phoenix’s second game in as many nights, the center rotation will consist of Ighodaro and Nick Richards.

Allen is set to make his first appearance since November 13. His return may result in Collin Gillespie moving to the bench, but the guard is worth holding onto since Jalen Green remains out. Allen should be rostered in standard leagues moving forward, as he was entrenched as a starter before the quad injury.

Williams will sit out the second leg of this back-to-back, which shouldn’t come as a surprise.

Initially questionable for Saturday’s game, Dunn will miss a fifth straight with a sprained right wrist. Collin Gillespie started Friday’s loss to the Thunder and was highly productive, continuing his recent run of excellent play. He should be rostered even when Dunn is available to play.

McLaughlin has been sidelined for over three weeks, and there isn’t much clarity as to when he’ll return. However, with De’Aaron Fox and Dylan Harper both available, McLaughlin’s role will be minimal when he returns, if he’s part of the rotation at all.

The Suns have four key players listed as questionable against the Nuggets on Saturday. That list includes Goodwin, who is somewhat of a stranger to the injury report compares to his teammates. With Goodwin, Grayson Allen and Ryan Dunn all questionable, Collin Gillespie is the obvious beneficiary and preferred streamer given the injury situation.

Dunn has missed the last four games with a sprained right wrist. The 22-year-old small forward’s status is up in the air against the Nuggets on Saturday given his questionable listing.

Williams’ status is up in the air for the second game of a back-to-back against the Nuggets on Saturday. The 23-year-old center has yet to play 30 minutes in a game this season, but that hasn’t stopped him from producing. Williams has totaled 34 points and 31 rebounds over his last two games. Oso Ighodaro would move into the starting lineup if Williams is ultimately ruled out.

For matchup purposes, Suns coach Jordan Ott ended up playing Oso Ighodaro for 22 minutes off the bench, which left 22 minutes for Williams and four for Nick Richards. Despite the lack of opportunity, Williams was able to dominate the glass, which can at least partially be attributed to the absence of Isaiah Hartenstein. This was a third straight double-double for Williams, who has still surpassed 30 minutes just one time this season.

Booker’s cold spell continued in this loss to OKC. This was the fifth straight game that Booker shot below 40 percent from the floor, which is surprising after he started off the year as hot as he did. They have ran into some tough defenses lately, though some of the rough performances have come against bad teams. Booker will look to get back on track against the Nuggets on Saturday, which will be the second leg of this back-to-back for Phoenix.

Gillespie continues to prove that he is a legitimate, reliable option for the Suns, and as this team gets healthy, head coach Jordan Ott is going to have some tough decisions to make. Gillespie has been starting in place of Grayson Allen (quad) and Jalen Green (hamstring) is still out as well. Gillespie has earned his place in the rotation, but there may not be enough minutes to go around. For now, he should be rostered everywhere, regardless of league format.

While Devin Vassell and Julian Champagnie handled most of the scoring, Fox led the way with 12 assists on Friday. And he’s been highly valuable to fantasy managers recently, providing top-20 value in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. While some may be tempted to sell high, that may not be the best course of action. With Stephon Castle and Victor Wembanyama out, Fox has a higher ceiling, and taking advantage of this would be a good idea.

Having started the last five games due to injuries, Champagnie has recorded double-doubles in three straight. The 25 points he tallied on Friday were a season-high, and Julian has three 20-point games. Rostered in 10 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Champagnie has provided sixth-round value in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. As long as Stephon Castle and Victor Wembanyama remain out, he’s worth streaming in deep leagues.

Vassell put on a show Friday night, with his hot shooting pushing the Spurs into the NBA Cup quarterfinals. Not only did he record his first 30-point game of the season, but this was also the third time he’s scored at least 20. The absences of Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle give Vassell more room to expand his influence on offense, and he’s taken advantage of the opportunity. The Spurs visit Minnesota in their final game of Week 6 on Sunday.

Following a 10-game absence, Harper’s return to the lineup was uneventful. The rookie guard played only 17 minutes off the bench and shot the ball inefficiently during his time on the floor. He was averaging 14.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 4.6 assists in 25.8 minutes per game over the first five games of the season before getting hurt against the Suns on November 2. With De’Aaron Fox back in the lineup and Stephon Castle’s return likely not too far away, it’s hard to predict how much of an impact Harper will make from a fantasy basketball standpoint moving forward. However, his ceiling remains high.

Vassell was San Antonio’s second-best scorer on Wednesday, finishing as one of two Spurs to reach the 20-point mark. He found his scoring production by way of effective three-point shooting, while also being efficient inside the arc. The scoring total tied a season high and marked his seventh straight game scoring in double figures. Vassell’s only other area of impact from a fantasy basketball standpoint came as a rebounder.

Fox erupted for his highest scoring performance of the season on Wednesday. The three-point shot worked in his favor, as free-throw production was also a key in his scoring total. The near-40-point outing also marked the sixth game in a row that the lefty guard has scored at least 24 points. Additionally, he finished as the Spurs’ leader in assists and came up two dimes short of the double-double. He’s integrated himself into the rotation nicely after missing the start of the season due to injury.

Booker struggled with his shot on Wednesday, shooting 4-of-13 from inside the arc. The good news for fantasy managers is that he provided solid value in the rebound and assist categories. Over the past two weeks, Booker has shot 38.8 percent from the field, which is why he has not been a top-100 player during this period. The season-long value remains solid, but many hoped to receive first-round value from Booker, and it hasn’t happened just yet.

Back in the starting lineup after missing Monday’s win over the Rockets, Williams had his best game since joining the Suns this offseason. The 17 rebounds were a season-high for the 7-footer, who recorded his third 20-point double-double of the season. Due to his injury history, Williams’ availability remains a concern. However, the Suns have seemingly pushed all the right buttons so far, and fantasy managers have reaped the rewards.

Having provided solid fantasy value while coming off the bench, Gillespie was inserted into the Suns’ starting lineup on Wednesday. He had another excellent night, finishing with a season-high point total. Also, the nine assists were the most in a game for Gillespie since October 27, when he dished out a career-high 13. Jordan Goodwin (7/8/2/2/1 with one three-pointer) was solid off the bench, but his fantasy value takes a hit with Gillespie replacing him in the starting lineup.

After Jordan Goodwin moved into the starting lineup for the last two games with Ryan Dunn unavailable, Suns head coach Jordan Ott has made a change. Gillespie, who has been an excellent fantasy asset recently, replaces Goodwin in the starting lineup. The change does raise the point guard’s ceiling, while Goodwin should still get good minutes off the bench. The other change is Williams, who’s back after sitting out Monday’s loss to the Rockets. Nick Richards will rejoin the second unit.

Wednesday’s game against the Kings will be the sixth that Allen has missed with a right quad contusion. During his pregame availability, Suns head coach Jordan Ott said this was not your standard quad contusion, but the team hopes to have Allen back by this weekend. Phoenix has games against the Thunder (Friday) and Nuggets (Saturday) to end Week 6 before visiting the Lakers on Monday. Jordan Goodwin should remain in the starting lineup until Allen returns, with Collin Gillespie also having increased fantasy value.

A fixture in the Spurs’ starting lineup since Stephon Castle was lost to a hip injury, Champagnie struggled with his shot on Sunday. He was 2-of-9 from beyond the arc, dropping to 9-of-24 over the last three games. The good news for the few managers streaming Champagnie is that he recorded his first double-double of the season, leading all players with 12 rebounds. Those looking for someone capable of compensating for Castle’s absence are better off with Keldon Johnson, even with his issues in category league formats. He finished Sunday’s defeat with 14 points, six rebounds, two assists, one steal and two three-pointers in 24 minutes.

After a slow start to the season, Vassell has been a top-50 player in nine-cat formats over the past week. While losing Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle wasn’t optimal for the Spurs, those absences may have helped unlock Vassell.

Since the Spurs lost Victor Wembanyama to a calf injury, Fox has scored at least 26 points in four straight games. He’s been a third-round player in nine-cat formats during this stretch, providing value that exceeds his Yahoo! ADP (42). Of course, Fox’s ADP was impacted by the hamstring injury that kept him out to begin the season. But he’s well-positioned to provide excellent value moving forward, even after Wembanyama and Stephon Castle return to the lineup.

Given his career track record in fantasy basketball, it would be understandable if some fantasy managers overlooked Johnson in seeking alternatives with Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle unavailable.

The absences of Wemby and Stephon Castle put Fox in a position to provide added fantasy value, and he’s been up to the task.

Limited to nine points in Tuesday’s win over the Grizzlies, Champagnie was much better in his second start for the injured Stephon Castle. He notched his second 20-point game of the season, finishing two shy of his season-high. While Champagnie has only been a 10th-round player over the past two weeks, he boasts a higher ceiling now that he’s in the starting lineup. He’s worth considering in deep leagues, especially for managers needing three-pointers.

While Vassell did not shoot well on Tuesday, the assists and defensive stats are what should be the focus. With Stephon Castle (hip) out for at least one to two weeks, there should be more opportunities for Vassell to serve as a primary playmaker. That was the case on Tuesday, and he only committed one turnover. Vassell’s fantasy value has been low thus far, but Castle’s absence may be what he needs to get things headed in the right direction.

Two days removed from recording his first double-double of the season, Johnson stepped up with another solid outing in the second game the Spurs have played since losing Victor Wembanyama to a calf strain. He hasn’t been the best category league option for most of his NBA career, but Johnson may be worth a look with Wemby and Stephon Castle unavailable. However, one can’t blame those who may want to see more before committing, as Keldon is ranked just outside the top-150 in nine-cat formats. He’s rostered in just 10 percent of Yahoo! leagues, so he won’t be hard to find on waiver wires.

If the Spurs were searching for a closer with Victor Wembanyama out, Barnes stepped up to fill the void on Tuesday. With the Spurs trailing by a point with just over three minutes remaining, the veteran forward went on a personal 7-0 run to reclaim control of the game. Keldon Johnson and De’Aaron Fox would score baskets to cap the victory, but Barnes’ performance is what won the game. Rostered in 15 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he’s scored 20 points or more in two straight games. Barnes is providing top-100 value in nine-cat formats and is worth a roll of the dice with Wembanyama unavailable.

After a subpar first half in which he scored four points, Fox flipped the switch after halftime. He scored 22 in the second half, the final two coming on a windmill dunk that capped a game-ending 11-0 run.

Castle, who was injured during the first half of Sunday’s win over the Kings, has been diagnosed with a left hip flexor strain. He’ll be re-evaluated in one to two weeks, leaving the Spurs down two starters as Victor Wembanyama (calf) is also out. Julian Champagnie started the second half on Sunday and is the player most likely to move into the starting lineup.

Castle exited Sunday’s win over the Kings due to left hip flexor soreness, and that issue will keep him out of Tuesday’s game as well. Julian Champagnie replaced the reigning Rookie of the Year in the lineup on Sunday, and he’s worth a look in deep leagues due to the Spurs also being without Victor Wembanyama.

Wembanyama is dealing with a left calf strain, according to Charania, and will miss the next few weeks. This is a major blow to the Spurs and fantasy teams with the 21-year-old big man. Luke Kornet figures to benefit the most from Wembanyama’s absence as he’ll move into the starting lineup. Durability figured to be a challenge given the Spurs’ center’s size. A shoulder injury limited Wembanyama to 46 games last year and now he’ll miss multiple weeks with a calf injury.
