Johnson was a late addition to the injury report in the second game of a back-to-back. He played just 14 minutes in Wednesday’s win over the Raptors, so the Spurs won’t have to cover many minutes if he’s out.

Castle played 28 minutes last night in a win over the Raptors and must have come up a little sore the next day. With the Spurs coming in as heavy favorites over the Nets, it would make sense for them to give Castle some rest. That would likely mean more minutes and usage for both Devin Vassell and Dylan Harper.

While the Raptors were able to neutralize Wembanyama on the offensive end of the floor, the Spurs phenom still blocked five shots on the night. Wemby and the Spurs have won ten straight games, their longest streak since January 2016. With the Spurs visiting the Nets on Thursday, it would be unsurprising if Wembanyama got the offensive numbers that he missed out on in Toronto.

While Fox had a good night shooting the basketball, the overall stat line was a bit lean. The assist tally was a season-low, a surprising development for a player who racked up seven helpers in Monday’s win over the Pistons. However, more concerning for category league managers has been Fox’s poor foul shooting. He made two of his eight attempts against the Raptors, dropping his percentage over the past two weeks to 54.5. While Fox has never been an elite foul shooter, his recent struggles have been a serious departure from the norm.

Vassell has been on a roll from beyond the arc recently, making at least five three-pointers in each of his last three appearances. The Spurs wing has connected on 14 of 23 attempts during this run, and his overall fantasy value has been excellent. Over the past week, Vassell has provided fifth-round per-game value in eight- and nine-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster. The Spurs visit the Nets on Thursday, and that has the potential to be another good night for Vassell.

In what was an ugly game offensively for both teams, Phoenix ended up on the wrong end of the scoreboard. This would’ve been their lowest-scoring outing of the season had they not just been held to 77 points in Sunday’s loss. They held the opposition to less than 100 points in both games, but they haven’t had much offensive juice. However, Gillespie was solid in both games. With Devin Booker (hip) and Dillon Brooks (hand) sidelined, Gillespie will continue to be one of the focal points offensively.

Allen is back after missing Sunday’s loss to the Trail Blazers. His return will give the Suns much-needed scoring, whether he comes off the bench or starts. If Allen were to start, Ryan Dunn is the player most likely headed to the bench.

Plumlee signed a 10-day deal with the Spurs last week, but he has been sidelined due to “return to competition reconditioning” for the four games since then. If he isn’t back to take on the Nets on Thursday, he’ll spend the entirety of this 10-day too out of shape to suit up.

All five Spurs starters, including Castle, were in double figures in scoring in this one. The 21-year-old point guard wasn’t particularly efficient with 16 points on 16 field goal attempts. Castle also had 11 assists, earning the double-double. The Spurs road trip continues Wednesday against the Raptors.

Vassell made as many three-pointers (seven) on 11 attempts as the entire Pistons did on 36 attempts. Vassell and Julian Champagnie’s shooting was instrumental in the Spurs victory as the pair combined for 12 three-pointers. Vassell has provided 11th-round per game value on the season, according to Basketball Monster.

Wembanyama started off Week 18 of the fantasy season with a bang. The 22-year-old center had 21 points including two three-pointers, but really controlled this game by doing the dirty work with 17 rebounds, one steal and six blocks. Wembanyama and the Spurs pulled away in the third quarter and didn’t look back, which isn’t easy to do against one of the best teams in the league this year in Detroit. The Spurs have three more games this week with a matchup against the Raptors coming up on Wednesday.

Gillespie was a must-roster player even with 11 games on Sunday because the Suns were missing Devin Booker, Dillon Brooks, Jordan Goodwin and Grayson Allen. Jalen Green only played 22 minutes. Gillespie predictably led the team in minutes with 33 and points with 18. His six turnovers gave back some of his value, but Gillespie will continue to see increased opportunities until the Suns are back at full strength. Phoenix has only two games upcoming in Week 18, starting with a matchup against the Celtics on Tuesday.

The Suns lost Dillon Brooks to a fractured left hand during Saturday’s win over the Magic, opening up a spot in the lineup. Dunn, who started the third quarter against Orlando, will take on that responsibility.

Green capped Saturday’s double-overtime win over the Magic with a game-winning three as time expired. Of greater interest to fantasy managers was that he logged 37 minutes, which casts some doubt on his availability for Sunday’s game.

Fox’s night was a mixed bag. While he shot the ball well and finished a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line, the point guard was also responsible for five turnovers.

Castle has been a top-50 fantasy player over the past week, and his improved efficiency as a scorer is why. The reigning Rookie of the Year is shooting 70 percent from the field and 80 percent from the foul line over the past week. Add in what Castle continues to bring to the table as a rebounder and defender, and fantasy managers received a welcome boost to end Week 17. The Spurs hit the road for all four of their games in Week 18, starting with the Pistons on Monday.

Wembanyama set the tone for Saturday’s game when he blocked three shots within the first 90 seconds.

The 7-foot-4 phenom recorded a complete stat line in 30 minutes of action, a nice finish to his Week 17. The Spurs play four games in Week 18, starting with the Pistons on Monday.

Williams shot poorly on Thursday but had enough volume to reach double figures in scoring for the fifth time in the last six games. He added double-digit rebounds, as well, to generate his fourth double-double of February.

Fox did about as much as he could in the blowout win, which limited him to 22 total minutes. In his time on the floor, he used a couple of three-pointers to help finish as one of six Spurs players to reach double figures in scoring.

He’ll have a chance to log a bigger performance on Saturday against the Kings.

In limited minutes, Wemby did a little bit of everything in the rout of the Suns. He amassed six stocks, finished tied for second on the Spurs in points and assists, and was the only player on San Antonio to collect double-digit rebounds. The large margin of victory likely factored into Wembanyama’s 25 minutes of game action, so a more competitive regular-season game would likely lead to more minutes and opportunities to produce. Still, he got a lot done in his time on the floor Thursday.

Castle led all Spurs players in scoring on Thursday and only needed 21 minutes of game action to do so. The second-year guard shot efficiently and made good on most of his scoring opportunities while also contributing as a facilitator and disruptive defender. His minutes were low, potentially due to the large second-half lead the Spurs held or to the fact that he finished the game with five fouls. Either way, fantasy managers should expect that Castle will see more minutes and have more opportunities to put up a big line on Saturday against the Kings.

He scored 33 of the team’s combined 80 points and was efficient while doing it.

After scoring 25 points in a February 4 win over the Thunder, Johnson totaled 26 points in the three games that followed. He was far more impactful against the Warriors, providing excellent value in his 29 minutes. Over the past two weeks, Johnson has been ranked outside the top-200, mainly due to a lack of production outside of points and rebounds. That’s been the case for most of this season, limiting him to a deep-league option in category leagues.
