Wade has missed Cleveland’s last two games but could be back in the lineup against Indiana. He should start if he’s available, and with Donovan Mitchell (rest) out, there will still be plenty of minutes available for Sam Merrill, Jaylon Tyson and De’Andre Hunter.

Mitchell will get the night off against a lottery team. That will leave an open spot in the starting unit, which will likely be filled by one of Sam Merrill, Jaylon Tyson or Dean Wade. All three, along with De’Andre Hunter, will see a bump in minutes and usage.

Wemby has a chance to return to the court following a two-game absence, which could mean reduced roles for Luke Kornet and Kelly Olynyk. Kornet is worth holding even after Wemby returns, as the Spurs will surely be cautious with their franchise superstar’s minutes.

Jarrett Allen’s absence on Sunday led to Merrill returning to the starting lineup after coming off the bench in his previous two appearances. The Cavaliers’ guard did what was expected, offering solid three-point value while also tallying a few rebounds and assists. With Jaylon Tyson (6/7/3/1/2 with one three-pointer) ahead of Merrill in the pecking order, the sharpshooter’s fantasy value is limited when the Cavaliers are whole.

Much to the delight of fantasy managers who have him rostered, Mobley continues to rack up the blocked shots. With his four on Sunday, the Cavaliers’ forward/center has tallied 15 over his last four appearances. The height of Mobley’s fantasy ceiling is partly determined by Jarrett Allen’s availability, and he did not play on Sunday due to illness. While he has not reached his lofty ADP (19), Mobley has been a fourth-round player in eight-cat formats over the past week.

Mitchell has scored at least 30 points in 20 of the 34 games he’s played this season, including each of the last three. The only thing missing from the Cavaliers’ guard’s stat line on Sunday was a blocked shot, but fantasy managers aren’t going to lose any sleep over that. Cleveland plays three games in Week 12, starting with the Pacers on Tuesday.

Fox hit two corner threes during the fourth quarter, which boosted the final points tally for the night. Over the past two weeks, the Spurs guard has offered eighth-round per-game value in eight-cat formats. Fox’s problem recently has been the foul line, as he’s making just 65.4 percent of his attempts. While he’s never been an elite foul shooter, that’s poor for a guard of his caliber. The Spurs begin a four-game Week 12 in Memphis on Tuesday, and they’ll have two back-to-backs.

Castle has recorded at least seven assists in six consecutive games, with Saturday’s tally being the most for him since an 11-assist night on December 21 against the Wizards. However, the lack of three-pointers and low field-goal percentage limits his value in eight-cat formats. Castle remains a player who needs to be rostered in most leagues, but his ceiling will be somewhat limited until he becomes more consistent in those areas.

After coming back to earth in Friday’s win over the Pacers, Champagnie had a better night shooting the basketball on Saturday. In addition to the 20 points and four three-pointers, he recorded his fourth double-double of the season. With Devin Vassell (adductor) out until mid-January, Champagnie is worth streaming in deep leagues.

Once again starting for the injured Victor Wembanyama (knee), Kornet arguably had his best game of the season. In addition to recording a season-high point total, the 7-foot-1 center blocked five shots and was solid on the glass. Due to Kornet’s play, Kelly Olynyk (5/3/2/1) only played 14 minutes off the bench. Wembanyama, who will travel with the team for Tuesday’s game in Memphis, is day-to-day. Kornet will be worth streaming as long as the Spurs are without their starting center.

While Wemby avoided a major knee injury, he will remain out for a second straight game.

Mitchell, who topped 30 points for the 19th time this season, locked horns with his Nuggets counterpart Jamal Murray as the pair traded punches down the home stretch with the Cavaliers erasing a late deficit to emerge with a narrow victory. The 29-year-old scoring machine, who has graded out as a top-10 fantasy contributor this season, has put together back-to-back strong performances and will look to keep the momentum going on Sunday when the Cavaliers square off against the upstart Pistons.

Garland dished out eight assists and played a key role late, scoring 13 of his 18 points in the second half, as Cleveland overcame a late deficit to rally for an impressive home victory against the injury-depleted Nuggets. The 25-year-old facilitator has had a down year overall, especially from a scoring standpoint, averaging just 17 points through 20 games after averaging 20.6 per-game last year.

Harper played a more prominent role for the Spurs in their first action without franchise cornerstone Victor Wembanyama after he suffered a hyperextended left knee earlier this week. The 19-year-old rookie connected on 8-of-12 shots from inside the arc and shot 60 percent overall on the night, finishing just two points shy of matching his previous career-high mark set back on December 18. The second-overall pick from last summer’s NBA Draft has shown flashes of elite scoring potential but he hasn’t quite arrived as a consistent and reliable fantasy option at this stage of his development.

San Antonio had little trouble taking care of business against the floundering Pacers with Fox reaching the 20-point plateau for the fourth time in his last six contests since December 21. It would’ve been an even bigger night from a scoring standpoint had he not been ice-cold from three-point range where he went just 2-of-9 in an uncharacteristically poor effort. The 28-year-old guard will be asked to shoulder more of the scoring workload with Victor Wembanyama (knee) likely to miss a couple additional games. The Spurs are back in action on Saturday night when they face the Trail Blazers to close out a back-to-back.

Champagnie, who set a franchise record with 11 three-pointers en route to a career-high 36-point effort earlier this week against the Knicks, came crashing back to earth in this one. The 24-year-old went 2-of-11 from beyond the arc but managed to salvage an otherwise forgettable effort by corralling eight boards. There should be some additional opportunities for him in the short-term while Victor Wembanyama (knee) is sidelined but his streakiness limits his appeal to extremely deep leagues.

Exhale. While a slight hyperextension in the knee doesn’t sound good, the meat of Charania’s reporting here is that Wembanyama avoided a major injury. That bodes well for the rest of the season, though it’s unclear if Wembanyama will have to miss a game or two later this week. The Spurs have back-to-back games with the Pacers and Trail Blazers on Friday and Saturday.

Fox bounced back after scoring only 14 points in the loss to the Cavaliers Monday to drop 25 points in the win over the Knicks Wednesday. The 28-year-old point guard once again struggled from behind the three-point line. Over the last two games combined, Fox is 2-of-14 from behind the three-point line.

Champagnie dropped a career-high 36 points in this one. The 24-year-old small forward’s 11 three-pointers are the second-most anyone has had in a game this year, trailing only Stephen Curry with 12, and a Spurs franchise record. On a night when the Spurs trailed by nine entering the fourth quarter and lost Victor Wembanyama to injury not even two minutes into the fourth quarter, Champagnie kept the Spurs afloat and led the late comeback. With Devin Vassell (adductor) set to miss a few games, Champagnie is rewarding managers that chose to stream him.

Wembanyama landed awkwardly gathering a rebound with about 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter. The 21-year-old center left the game and didn’t return. The Spurs were already in the middle of a fourth quarter comeback, but prior to leaving Wembanyama was highly efficient with 31 points on 12 field goal attempts. We’ll have an update on Wembanyama’s health when more information is available. The Spurs have back-to-back games against the Pacers and Trail Blazers later this week.

Tyson continues to be a strong option for Cleveland, and with De’Andre Hunter sidelined with an illness for this game, he was able to lead the Cavs in bench scoring. He was joined by Sam Merrill (16 points) in making a large impact for Cleveland as a reserve.

Mobley’s first few games since returning from a calf injury have been rough, but this one was strong. He had his first double-double since his return in his second game back in the starting lineup and was one of three Cavs to record a double-double in this game. Mobley also matched his season high for blocks in the win. It has been a subpar stretch for Cleveland, but if Mobley continues to play like this, they’ll rise back up the standings.

After scoring 26 total points across his last two games, Mitchell responded in a big way in his final game of 2025. This was only his second double-double of the season, and he made in impact in categories across the board. Mitchell is averaging career highs in points and three-pointers while also having the most efficient shooting season of his career. He’ll look to stay hot against the Nuggets on Friday in Cleveland’s next game.

If there’s one aspect of Castle’s game where he hasn’t made significant progress, it’s from beyond the arc. The second-year guard entered Saturday shooting 29.8 percent from deep, and that number will drop following a 1-of-8 effort against the Jazz. The good news is that Castle did enough inside the arc to record his second 20-point game in three appearances, and he recorded another seven assists. Fantasy managers should not be too concerned about the perimeter shooting, given everything else that Castle brings to the table.

Wemby was inserted back into the Spurs’ starting lineup on Saturday, and he was excellent offensively. The 32 points were the most he’s scored in a game since November 10, when the phenom dropped 38 in a win over the Bulls. And Wembanyama did his damage in 28 minutes on Saturday, so there is still some kind of limit for him to navigate. Luke Kornet played 19 minutes off the bench, finishing with seven points, eight rebounds, one assist and one blocked shot. While deep-league managers may hold on to Kornet for a bit longer, standard-league managers who were streaming him can afford to move on. The Spurs open a four-game Week 11 on Monday against the Cavaliers.
