Jones’ streak of missed games will extend to eight, which means Saddiq Bey should stick with the first unit for at least one more contest.

Zion is a late addition to the injury report, which doesn’t bode well for his chances at taking the court on Wednesday. If Williamson is ultimately sidelined, more minutes could be available for Karlo Matković and Micah Peavy, while Saddiq Bey would likely shoulder a heavier offensive responsibility.

Like Victor Wembanyama, Castle had a rough night shooting the basketball. The good news for fantasy managers was that the rebounds and assists were solid, and Castle kept the turnovers (three) in check. While his place in the Spurs’ starting lineup makes Castle a player to roster in 12-team formats, fantasy managers have taken a hit due to his efficiency issues.

Tuesday’s game ranks among the worst in Wembanyama’s two-plus NBA season. In addition to missing all seven of his three-point attempts, the Spurs center was 5-of-14 from inside the arc. Add in the lack of defensive stats, and there wasn’t much to like about Wembanyama’s final line beyond the ten rebounds. He’ll look to bounce back on Thursday against the Jazz.

As a team, the Spurs shot 14-of-50 from beyond the arc. Just imagine what the percentage would have been if Champagnie weren’t 8-of-16 by himself. Once again filling in for the injured Devin Vassell, Champagnie has been a 12th-round player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. While the overall fantasy value isn’t great, Julian should be rostered by managers seeking three-point production while Vassell remains out.

Counting Tuesday’s game against the Rockets, Vassell has missed San Antonio’s last 12 games with a strained left adductor. While Johnson’s update was positive, the Spurs’ wing does not have a return timeline. Julian Champagnie has been a solid streaming option as Vassell’s replacement in the starting lineup.

Jones has missed the Pelicans’ last seven games with a sprained left ankle. He’s appeared in one game since initially spraining his ankle during a December 22 game against the Mavericks. Saddiq Bey will be the starter as long as Jones is sidelined.

Bryant has only played a small role for San Antonio this season, but he was able to see a bump in minutes in this game, which allowed him to set a new career high for points. Bryant hasn’t made much of a fantasy impact as a rookie, but he holds plenty of upside for dynasty managers. He has elite upside as a defender, so seeing him have a decent scoring night is encouraging. However, this doesn’t make him worth rostering in redraft leagues.

Harper has shown plenty of flashes throughout his rookie season, but he hasn’t had many games where he’s been impactful for fantasy managers, especially as of late. However, the combination of shooting efficiency and counting stats changed that for at least this game. He hasn’t been a reliable option in standard leagues, and the Spurs are too good for him to see a late-season bump, but this game is a good reminder that he is an elite asset in dynasty leagues.

Wemby was once again able to have a monster performance. He has taken fewer three-pointers this season, which has helped his field goal percentage. However, over his last three games, he is averaging 5.3 triples per game, and he set a new season high against Utah. During that stretch, he’s averaging 31.3 points, 9.7 rebounds and 2.0 blocks to go with the triples while also shooting better than 50 percent from the floor in each game. He’ll look to stay hot in Houston on Tuesday.

While fellow rookie Jeremiah Fears (two points, three rebounds, two assists and one block) has hit a rough patch recently, shooting 40.2 percent from the field over the past two weeks, Queen’s production has been consistent. During these two weeks, the rookie center has been close to a top-50 player in eight-cat formats. Fears was limited to ten minutes, with Queen sharing the frontcourt with Yves Missi (10/7/4/1/2) to begin the second half. That’s something fantasy managers should watch during the Pelicans’ three-game Week 14.

Williamson’s game does have some flaws: he isn’t a great foul shooter, and turnovers can be an issue. However, when he’s healthy, the Pelicans’ forward can offer solid fantasy value. Having scored at least 20 points in six of his last seven appearances, Williamson has been close to a top-75 player over the past two weeks. The Pelicans play three games in Week 14 without a back-to-back, so availability shouldn’t be an issue for Zion.

Murphy led six Pelicans in double figures with his 21 points, extending his streak of games with at least 21 to eight. Over the past two weeks, he has been a top-10 player in eight-cat formats. With the Pelicans not having control of their first-round pick, tanking should not be in the equation. That’s good news for fantasy managers who are hoping Murphy can help carry them to a league title. The Pelicans open a three-game Week 14 on Wednesday against the Pistons.
