Bassey will remain out with a bone bruise in his left knee. Bismack Biyombo will remain the starting center, with Jeremy Sochan picking up additional minutes off the bench. Sandro Mamukelashvili has also played additional minutes, but he does not have the streaming appeal that Biyombo or Sochan possesses;

Sochan exited Wednesday’s loss to the Rockets during the second quarter after taking a shot to the Head and did not return. However, there was no need to enter the league’s concussion protocol, and he’s available for Saturday’s game. Sandro Mamukelashvili will likely play fewer minutes off the bench, removing any streaming value he may have had.

Friday’s game will be the fourth straight Morris has missed with lower back spasms. With Bradley Beal also out, Tyus Jones has returned to the starting lineup and played 39 minutes in Thursday’s loss to the Pelicans. Look for him to take on a similar workload in Friday’s rematch.

Allen suffered a foot injury in his last outing and is unlikely to play in the second leg of a back-to-back. Royce O’Neale or Ryan Dunn could absorb some of Allen’s wing minutes.

The Spurs signed Biyombo after Victor Wembanyama was ruled out for the season and now he’ll get to finish out the year with them. It appears like he’ll get a chance to continue starting at center.

Jones reclaimed his starting gig with Bradley Beal on the sidelines, and he certainly made the most of his opportunity. The assists were a game high, and the three-pointers were his most since he knocked down five against the Clippers on January 27. The Suns have a quick turnaround with a rematch set for Friday night against New Orleans. If he’s back with the first unit, Jones will look to build on Thursday’s big performance.

Naughty Nicky pulled down a game-high rebound total and finished with his sixth double-double in 19 appearances with Phoenix. Fortunately for fantasy managers, Richards’ final stat line in the box score is all that counts. His on-court play was a bit less encouraging, as the Pels grabbed 50 boards and scored 58 points in the paint. Richards and the Suns are five games below .500, and they’ll need to find an answer for Zion Williamson in Friday’s rematch if they want to get back in the win column.

Jones has come off the bench in each of the Suns’ last three games, but he’ll replace the injured Bradley Beal in the starting five. Jones has averaged 10.9 points and 5.9 dimes across 54 starts this season.

Beal will sit out this game, which is the first of back-to-back set against New Orleans. Tyus Jones or Grayson Allen will likely replace him in the starting unit, though Allen will be better option in fantasy basketball.

Beal has averaged 24.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 5.5 assists per game since returning from the All-Star break, but the Suns aren’t winning. Grayson Allen could get a bump in exposure if Beal sits on Thursday.

Sochan’s Wednesday night in Houston ended prematurely, as he was hit in the head during the second quarter and did not return. His exit resulted in more rotation minutes for Sandro Mamukelashvili, who finished with 12 points, four rebounds, three steals and two three-pointers in 20 minutes. Even if Sochan has to miss time, there isn’t much to gain from adding Mamukelashvili, whose production has been inconsistent since the Spurs lost Victor Wembanyama for the rest of the season.

Castle finished Wednesday’s defeat tied for the team-high in points with Keldon Johnson, but the rookie struggled from deep. He shot 1-of-7 from three and is 2-of-16 since the All-Star break. It’s fair to wonder if the busy weekend in San Francisco has been a factor, as Castle was active on all three days (Rising Stars Challenge, Dunk Contest and Sunday’s All-Star tournament). The good news for fantasy managers is that the points, rebounds, assists and steals were solid on Wednesday; only the field-goal percentage was problematic. While the Spurs don’t want to change their approach as the season winds down, Castle will have ample opportunities to “spread his wings” within the system.

After scoring nine points on 4-of-13 shooting in the Spurs’ final two games before the All-Star break, Johnson has reached double figures in five straight. Surpassing the 20-point mark in two outings, including Wednesday’s defeat, he has been a top 100 player in eight-cat formats. With Devin Vassell (nine points, five rebounds, three assists and one three-pointer in 24 minutes) continuing to struggle, it wouldn’t be a terrible idea to consider rostering Johnson in the short term. He’s available in 69 percent of Yahoo! leagues, so he won’t be too difficult to find on the waiver wire.

Morris will miss a third straight game with lower back spasms. With the recent change to the Suns’ starting lineup, as Tyus Jones has moved to the bench in favor of Bradley Beal, Morris will be a spot lower in the pecking order when healthy. He’s unlikely to impact fantasy basketball.

Bassey will miss another game with a bone bruise in his left knee, leaving the Spurs light on options at the center position with Victor Wembanyama done for the season. Bismack Biyombo will remain in the starting lineup and is worth streaming for managers needing rebounds. Sandro Mamukelashvili will play rotation minutes off the bench, but there’s no need to consider adding him.

Booker has now scored at least 28 points in three straight games. The 28-year-old point guard also dished out 10 assists on his way to a double-double. It’s just his second game with at least 10 assists in February and the other was also an overtime game. He’s had at least eight assists in five straight games and six of his last seven games as he’s taken on a bigger playmaking role with Bradley Beal replacing Tyus Jones in the starting lineup.

Durant was excellent in a game the Suns probably should’ve won if not for a Ja Morant bucket at the end of regulation that sent the game into overtime. The 36-year-old small forward was just two rebounds and three assists shy of a triple-double. Durant has provided top-10 fantasy value over the past month.

Biyombo recorded his second double-double in as many games on Tuesday, with the 12 rebounds being a season-high for the veteran center. While he’s been more productive than any of the Spurs’ other available options with Victor Wembanyama done for the season, Biyombo is on his second 10-day contract. Rostered in 15 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he offers superior streaming value to Sandro Mamukelashvili (two points, one rebound, one assist, one steal and one block in 12 minutes) or Charles Bassey, who did not play due to a knee injury. However, fantasy managers would be better served to look for Jeremy Sochan (12 points, nine rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 19 minutes; 42 percent rostered) on their waiver wire before adding Biyombo.

Fantasy managers who have Fox rostered will be pleased with the assists and steals, with the six pilfers matching his career-high (living up to the “Swipa” nickname). Unfortunately, efficiency was a problem, as Fox shot 6-of-21 from the field and committed six turnovers. He has averaged 2.8 turnovers per game since making his Spurs debut, so this category has not been a significant issue for Fox. He has provided top-30 value in eight-cat formats as a Spur, not too far removed from his season-long production (top-25).

Vassell’s struggles have been well-documented, with the Spurs guard ranked just inside the top 200 in eight-cat formats over the past month. Not only has the scoring been down (13.8 ppg), but he’s only shot 39.1 percent from the field. Vassell didn’t have a great night shooting the ball, but he finished with 20 points after going five straight with 13 or less. With Victor Wembanyama done for the season, many fantasy managers hoped the injury would catalyze Vassell. Unfortunately, that has not been the case, but Tuesday’s stat line helps.
