Harper suffered a right calf contusion during Thursday’s loss to the Nuggets, but he was able to return after a brief period on the bench. If he’s unable to play against the Hornets, that may free up a few minutes for Carter Bryant, whose playing time decreased on Thursday due to Harrison Barnes’ return from an ankle injury.

After a five-game absence, Barnes did not miss a beat on Thursday. With a stat line that only lacked a blocked shot, the 20 points were the most in a game for the veteran forward since December 23, when he hit that number in a win over the Thunder. Barnes’ return meant less playing time for Carter Bryant, who finished with 10 points, three rebounds, one assist and one three-pointer in nine minutes.

While the foul shooting remains problematic, Fox’s overall stat line in Thursday’s defeat was one that most fantasy managers will take. He’s now recorded nine assists or more in four straight appearances, the Spurs’ guard’s most productive run in that category this season. Also, he’s scored at least 20 points in three straight and four of his last five.

After shooting 6-of-8 from three in a March 3 blowout of the 76ers, Vassell would shoot 5-of-21 from beyond the arc in the following four games. He snapped out of that slump on Thursday, knocking down four of his ten attempts. The overall stat line was solid, and Vassell has been a top-100 player since the All-Star break. He’ll look to finish Week 20 in a high note when the Spurs host the Hornets on Saturday.

Castle had an excellent night, albeit in a losing effort. The second-year guard picked up the slack on a night when the Spurs didn’t have Victor Wembanyama (ankle), recording his third career triple-double. Just as positive for fantasy managers is that Castle continues to take better care of the basketball. Counting Thursday, he’s recorded two assists or fewer in seven of his last eight appearances. The Spurs host the Hornets on Saturday in what could be another high-scoring affair.

Garland and his new teammates are strengthening their chemistry by the game. He’s scored 21 points or more in three straight games, and the Clippers point guard did his damage on Wednesday in just 23 minutes. The Clippers end Week 20 with games on Friday and Saturday, and Garland did not play both legs of the team’s last one. So, fantasy managers may get to use the point guard for one game only.

Mathurin continued his recent 20-point run with another solid showing against the Timberwolves, making it four of the last five games in which he’s exceeded that mark. The Clippers guard scored 10 of his 22 points from the foul line on Wednesday, and all that was missing from the final stat line was a blocked shot. The Clippers still have two more games in Week 20, which is good news for fantasy managers who have Mathurin on their roster.

Wednesday isn’t the first time an opponent looked helpless in its attempts to slow down Leonard, and it won’t be the last, either. Shooting 9-of-11 from two and 6-of-9 from three, The Klaw shot 75 percent from the field, and now has five games this season with at least 40 points. Since the All-Star break, Leonard has been a top-10 player in fantasy basketball, which aligns with his season-long value. The Clippers play two more games in Week 20.

The turnovers were rough, but this was a dominant outing from Wemby. He matched his career high for three-pointers in a game while also having his highest-scoring performance since before the All-Star break. Wemby has been on a tear recently and has been the best player in nine-category leagues over the past two months. They only play two more games this week, with the next one coming against the Nuggets on Thursday in what should be an exciting matchup between two of the league’s best centers.

Fox struggled coming out of the All-Star break, but he has been on fire recently. Over his last four games, he has averaged 23.3 points, 7.8 assists, 2.0 triples and just 1.5 turnovers per game while shooting 59.4 percent from the floor. His impact has been limited by him shooting 42.9 percent from the free throw line during this stretch, though he has only taken a total of seven shots from the charity stripe. His free throw shooting has been rough since the All-Star break, though the volume has been too small for it to drastically limit his fantasy production.

Mathurin has scored at least 21 points in three of his last four games. The 28 points in Monday’s win were the most for him since dropping a season-high 38 on the Nuggets in the Clippers’ first game out of the All-Star break. Mathurin has been close to a top-100 player in eight-cat formats since the break, providing excellent value off the bench on most nights. With the Clippers’ remaining Week 20 schedule including games against the Bulls and Kings, there could be at least one more big night in Mathurin’s immediate future.

Jones left Monday’s game briefly during the third quarter, having taken a shot to the head from Josh Hart while attempting to convert a reverse layup. “Airplane Mode” was able to return, and his three-pointer with 1:41 remaining in the fourth quarter extended the Clippers’ lead to nine, effectively serving as the dagger. While he isn’t a must-roster player in most leagues, Jones has been productive enough to provide consistent late-round value in 12-team leagues.

Garland’s playing time and scoring output have increased in each of his last three games, a positive development for the Clippers and those who have him rostered. The 23 points and 30 minutes were highs for the point guard since his move west, as were the five three-pointers. Garland, who shot 7-of-19 from deep in his first three games as a Clipper, made five of his nine attempts against the Knicks. With the Clippers’ final three games of Week 20 including a back-to-back, Garland may be limited to two appearances.

Counting Monday’s effort, Leonard has scored at least 20 points in 43 consecutive games. The Clippers’ star has remained relatively healthy since November, missing just four games.

The Clippers play three more games in Week 20, all at home, starting with the Timberwolves on Wednesday.

After totaling 18 points on 6-of-15 shooting from the field in his prior two games, Johnson recorded his first 20-point game since February 11 on Sunday. And given the limited value he provides outside of points and rebounds, Johnson’s category league value takes a significant hit when the scoring decreases. Since the All-Star break, his value has not cracked the top-250 in eight- or nine-cat formats. For that reason, it was good to see Johnson get untracked against the Rockets.

Castle was one of three Spurs to score at least 20 points on Sunday, with Victor Wembanyama and Keldon Johnson being the others. The second-year guard may not have recorded any defensive stats, but he was efficient on the other end of the floor. Since the All-Star break, Castle has recorded two turnovers or fewer in seven of San Antonio’s ten games. Wemby may be the headliner, and with good reason, but Castle’s improved efficiency as a playmaker has also given the Spurs, 9-1 since the break, a boost.

Add in the points and rebounds, and it’s easy to see why Wembanyama is one of the best players in fantasy basketball, regardless of position. The Spurs play three games in Week 20, starting with the Celtics on Tuesday.

With Yanic Konan-Niederhäuser (foot) done for the season, Jackson has moved into the backup center role. The former first-round pick had his best game as a Clipper on Saturday, recording a double-double along with three steals. Jackson played 24 minutes and even started the second half in place of starter Brook Lopez (four points, one rebound). The veteran center only played 12 minutes, and Saturday’s game, being the Clippers’ second in as many nights, may have been a factor. Consistency has been an issue for Jackson throughout his career, but he doesn’t need to play starters’ minutes to provide value. Keep an eye on him during the first two games of the Clippers’ four-game Week 20.

The rookie big injured his foot on Wednesday and was already expected to miss the Clippers’ next two games. However, he’ll undergo surgery that will end his season early. He started to play more minutes after Ivica Zubac was traded to the Pacers, and there is still plenty of upside for the future. Over his final three games, he averaged 8.0 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.3 blocks in just 16.5 minutes per game.
