Jones isn’t necessarily known for his scoring, but suddenly has three games with at least 20 points in his last six outings. The 29 points are the most he’s had in a game since the 26-year-old point guard dropped 34 points in a loss to the Rockets on January 14. Jones and the Bulls have four games in the season’s final week, starting with a matchup against the Wizards on Tuesday.

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. San Antonio plays four games without a back-to-back in Week 24, which is good news for Vassell managers whose leagues will remain active.

Champagnie’s six three-pointers were the most in a game for him since February 26, when he hit that many in a win over the Nets. The Spurs’ wing also provided value in the rebound category, closing Week 23 with a solid performance. For managers whose leagues have one more week, the Spurs play four games, and they still have a slim chance of catching Oklahoma City for the 1-seed in the West. That should ensure Champagnie of playing starters’ minutes at the beginning of Week 24.

While Castle did not record any defensive stats in Saturday’s overtime defeat, his work on that end of the floor helped limit Jamal Murray to 15 points. And the second-year guard had a good day offensively, as he scored 20 points on 50 percent shooting and dished out nine assists. While Castle’s season-long fantasy value has been low, he has been an improved option for category league managers since the All-Star break.

Wembanyama posted a massive stat line on Saturday, but it wasn’t enough to lead the Spurs to a win in Denver. The overtime defeat does not officially end San Antonio’s chances of catching Oklahoma City, but they now trail the Thunder by four games in the loss column. Wembanyama shot the ball well from the field and the foul line on Saturday, and he has corralled 18 rebounds in consecutive games. Add in the assists and blocks, and the MVP candidate likely helped some fantasy managers win their championship week matchups.

It’s challenging for a starter to have a productive outing in a game his team loses by 40, but Jones was solid on Friday. He led the Bulls in assists with eight and committed just one turnover. By comparison, fellow starter Josh Giddey (six points, five rebounds, five assists and two blocks) shot 3-of-12 from the field and committed four turnovers. The Bulls aren’t shutting down their proven players, which bodes well for managers rostering Jones and Giddey ahead of Sunday’s game against the Suns. Hopefully, they’ll be more competitive than they were in New York.

The Bulls went more than six minutes without a field goal to begin Friday’s game, trailing by a 20-1 margin. The game was effectively over at that point, with Sexton’s play being one of the few bright spots. He’s scored at least 18 points in each of his last five games. Despite coming off the bench, Sexton will be worth streaming for Sunday’s game against the Suns due to the Bulls’ lack of consistent scorers.

Harper has scored in double figures in seven consecutive games, his longest run of the season. The rookie guard shot 66.7 percent from the field against the Clippers, and he dished out five assists for the second consecutive game.

With no Victor Wembanyama (ankle), the Spurs needed a group effort on the glass to take care of the Clippers. And they got it, with Vassell and Julian Champagnie (13/8/4/2 with one three-pointer) leading the way. Vassell’s double-double was his first of the season, and he also shot 3-of-8 from beyond the arc. Due to the strength of the Spurs’ rotation, Vassell boasts a lower fantasy ceiling than in seasons past. Still, his perimeter shooting ability makes him a valuable option in most leagues.

After attempting nine shots in Wednesday’s win over the Warriors, Castle put up 15 on Thursday. A big reason for the increase was Victor Wembanyama (ankle) not playing, and the reigning Rookie of the Year took advantage of his opportunities.

The rebounds, assists and three-pointers were good, so there isn’t much for fantasy managers to worry about.

With no Victor Wembanyama, as he sat to rest his ankle, Fox was able to do a bit more scoring-wise than he did in Wednesday’s win over the Warriors.

And given how well Wembanyama played in the Spurs’ first two games of Week 23, most fantasy managers should be able to withstand him not playing on Thursday. Luke Kornet should move into the starting lineup, and he is worth streaming.

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. From a fantasy standpoint, however, the veteran guard’s production has slowed during Championship Week. Perhaps a more competitive game could lead to an increase in production.

Castle was effective in his 33 minutes on Wednesday. He didn’t take many shots, but still impacted the game well as a passer. The second-year guard dished out double-digit assists to land another double-double, and his four offensive boards were arguably as impressive. Nonetheless, the Spurs are one of the hottest teams in the league, and Castle has been a reason why. He’ll remain a nightly double-double threat down the stretch of the fantasy playoffs.

Wembanyama was extremely productive in just under 30 minutes of game action. Efficient shooting was key to his second consecutive 40-point performance, which was his fourth of the season. And when he wasn’t scoring, the versatile center was either rebounding shots or blocking them. Wemby has performed as well as any player in the league this season, especially when considering team success. He’ll match up with Nikola Jokić on Saturday with a chance to record a third straight 40-point double-double.

Despite the loss, Buzelis was one of several Bulls players to put up good individual stat lines against Indiana. He was one of the team’s better scorers, led the Bulls in assists, and finished just one rebound shy of collecting a double-double.

Sexton slid into the starting lineup on Wednesday in place of the injured Josh Giddey (hamstring) and put up some solid numbers. While he only played 26 minutes, he shot the ball well enough to finish as one of Chicago’s top scorers, made contributions as a passer, and chipped in a couple stocks on the defensive end. Sexton has scored at least 16 points in each of his last six appearances. He’ll likely remain a reliable scorer the rest of the fantasy season, regardless of whether Giddey is active.

Over the past two weeks, Harper has averaged 14.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.9 three-pointers per game.

While Victor Wembanyama stole the show on Monday with his 40-point double-double, Castle was also excellent in the 129-114 win over the Bulls. The second-year guard finished two rebounds shy of a triple-double, which would have been his second in as many games. Over the past two weeks, Castle has averaged 9.4 assists per game, helping preserve his fantasy value at a time when turnovers and free-throw percentage have been a problem.

Castle had an up-and-down performance on Wednesday. He elevated his teammates by facilitating at a high level, but gave the opposition opportunities by committing five turnovers. And while he was extremely efficient from the floor, the second-year guard left almost a good chunk of points at the charity stripe. Castle ultimately came close to securing a double-double, despite some shortcomings in his 26 minutes of game action. However, there’s another level he’s shown capable of reaching, one fantasy managers are hoping to see in the thick of the fantasy playoffs.

His three-point production helped tie a team-high in points, while his activity on the glass put him within striking distance of a double-double.

The former first-overall pick also added a few steals to combine for 10 stocks, the second time he’s done that this season. Wembanyama, regardless of minutes, is arguably as reliable a fantasy option as any. He’ll have a chance to put together another spectacular line on Saturday when the Spurs face the Bucks.

Castle was back in the Spurs’ lineup after missing two games with a hip injury, and he played 23 minutes. There was an injury scare during the first half, as the reigning Rookie of the Year took an inadvertent Jaime Jaquez Jr. knee to the head, but he returned to action after a short stint on the bench. And with the Spurs winning by 25 points, there was little need for the team to have Castle play starters’ minutes in his first game back. Harrison Barnes returned to the bench on Monday, finishing with 13 points, three rebounds, one assist, two steals and four three-pointers.
