Vassell is a late scratch for Saturday’s game, opening a spot in the Spurs’ starting lineup. He’ll be replaced by Barnes, who can provide a few three-pointers in that role. De’Aaron Fox, Dylan Harper, Julian Champagnie and Victor Wembanyama complete the starting lineup.

After a one-game absence, Vassell was back in the Spurs’ starting lineup on Thursday. His return coincided with Stephon Castle’s absence, as the reigning Rookie of the Year was out with a hip injury. Vassell may not have capitalized to the level fantasy managers hoped, but he shot 50 percent from the field on the night. Julian Champagnie (14 points, two rebounds, two assists, two blocks and four three-pointers) also reached double figures for the Spurs, who clinched a playoff spot with Thursday’s win.

Fox has scored at least 20 points in four of his last seven games, and he also provided solid value in the rebound category on Thursday. Since the All-Star break, the Spurs guard has provided eighth-round value in eight-cat formats. That isn’t on par with Fox’s ADP (39), but it isn’t the end of the world for him or those who have him rostered.

The Spurs guaranteed themselves a top-6 finish in the Western Conference with Thursday’s victory, and Wembanyama stole the show. The 7-foot-4 phenom was dominant throughout but saved his best for last, knocking down a fadeaway jumper with 1.1 seconds remaining to cap the Spurs’ rally. Wembanyama has scored 30 points or more in three of his last five appearances, and he could make it four of six when the Spurs host the Pacers on Saturday.

After having his highest-scoring game as a Hornet in Tuesday’s win, White surpassed that mark for a second straight game. He has been a fantastic addition for Charlotte, and it’s clear he’s still capable of contributing in fantasy despite coming off the bench. However, he has been far more efficient recently than he was last season, so it is unlikely he is able to maintain this recent run of production. Still, he’ll look to stay hot against the Grizzlies on Saturday.

Two games prior to this, Miller may have tweaked his right wrist in a game where he shot 2-of-14 from the floor. It didn’t seem to bother him much against the Heat on Tuesday, and it certainly didn’t limit him in this one. He had his highest-scoring game of the month, and he matched his season high for assists. This was the second straight blowout win, which allowed him to play less than 30 minutes once again.

Ball got off to a hot start to this game, scoring 14 points in the first quarter. While he didn’t contribute much scoring after that, he was still able to turn in a full stat line. He certainly could’ve put up even more if the score wasn’t so lopsided; Ball only ended up playing 20 minutes. That extra rest should help him stay hot against the Grizzlies on Saturday.

Following a two-game absence with a calf injury, Harper was back in the lineup for San Antonio. In the blowout win, he ended up having a strong performance off the bench and was one of seven players to score in double figures for the Spurs. Harper has flashed plenty of upside this year, but that hasn’t led to much fantasy production. His role has been too limited, but it’s clear that he will be a fantasy star sooner rather than later.

This wasn’t a standout performance for Wemby, which can be attributed to the lopsided score. They led by 31 points at halftime, which led to Wembanyama only playing 22 minutes in this game. He matched Keldon Johnson as the leading scorers for the Spurs, and seven players scored in double figures in the big win. Wemby will look to have a stronger performance against the Suns on Thursday.

White was a strong addition for Charlotte at the trade deadline, but his availability since then has been limited. However, he’s starting to get back on track and was able to have his highest-scoring game as a Hornet in the win. He’ll be a valuable reserve for them as they look to make a return to the postseason, though his minutes may be too limited for him to produce like this consistently. Still, he’s more than capable.

After a quieter night in limited minutes against the Spurs on Saturday, he bounced back with a monster showing in this one. He scored 30 points for the second time in their last three games and had his most assists in a game since December. Ball’s availability has been a big reason that Charlotte has had success recently, and he’ll look to stay hot against the Magic on Thursday.

Vassell’s three-point shooting was the highlight of his outing on Monday. He was San Antonio’s leader in three-point makes, which allowed him to finish as one of four Spurs with at least 20 points against Los Angeles. The sixth-year guard’s production has gradually slipped over the past couple of years as his role has changed, but performances like Monday’s show that he’s still a capable scorer on a nightly basis. He could look to secure back-to-back 20-point games when the Spurs face the Kings on Tuesday.

Castle did a little bit of everything in Monday’s four-point win. In addition to finishing as the Spurs’ leading scorer, he tallied a team-high in assists and was one of San Antonio’s better rebounders on the evening. Inefficient three-point shooting and some ball-security struggles are arguably Castle’s only weaknesses in this game. He’s flirted with two straight double-doubles after securing one against the Nuggets on March 12; he’ll be on triple-double watch on Thursday against the Kings.

Wemby worked his way to double-double No. 34 on the season on Monday in his 34 minutes of game action. The former first-overall pick didn’t have one of his more efficient shooting performances, thanks to struggles from beyond the arc, but still did enough damage to finish the game as one of four Spurs players to score at least 20 points. He led the team in rebounding and was dominant on the defensive end, coming away with five stocks. Wemby’s floor remains as high as any other player’s the rest of the fantasy season. His production shouldn’t slip, barring something unforeseen happening.

While he was responsible for six turnovers, Castle also finished three rebounds shy of a triple-double. Since the All-Star break, the second-year guard has provided sixth-round value in eight-cat formats. Castle’s fantasy value has increased steadily throughout the season, as he’s bounced back nicely from a slow start. Two of San Antonio’s four Week 21 games, Sacramento and Indiana, are against teams focused on the future, which could make for good nights for Castle.

Fox didn’t put up a great field goal percentage on Saturday, but he did provide fantasy managers with a complete stat line.

Since the All-Star break, Knueppel has averaged nearly 21 points per game while shooting 51.2 percent from the field.
