At this stage in his career, fantasy managers know what they’re going to get from Barnes. While his fantasy ceiling is limited, the floor is stable, and availability won’t be an issue. He finished Thursday’s victory a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line, but over the last two weeks, Barnes is ranked outside the top-200 in eight- and nine-cat formats. Even with his performance against the Thunder, fantasy managers can afford to leave Barnes on the waiver wire.

Wembanyama and Oklahoma City’s Chet Holmgren may not say much about a “rivalry” between them, but the matchups bring added juice whenever their teams meet. Wemby, who is still on a minutes restriction, recorded a double-double in just 25 minutes off the bench. The Spurs aren’t going to rush anything with their phenom, so Luke Kornet (six points, four rebounds, one assist and one block in 22 minutes) remains in the starting lineup. The Spurs host the Jazz on Saturday in their final game of Week 10.

The lone negative for Castle on Christmas Day was the turnover count, as he was responsible for four. However, he shot the ball efficiently and led the Spurs in assists. The improved shooting has pushed the reigning Rookie of the Year into the top-75 in eight-cat formats. Rostered in 69 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Castle is still lurking on a few 12-team league waiver wires. Now is a good time to change that.

Limited to six points in Tuesday’s win over the Thunder, Fox was outstanding in Thursday’s rematch. Finishing with a game-high 29 points, he shot 9-of-11 from the field in the first half. Some of Fox’s teammates took over in the second half to help San Antonio move to 3-0 against the Thunder this season. Fox is providing fourth-round value in eight-cat formats, and the partnership between him and Stephon Castle continues to strengthen.

Kispert exited Tuesday’s loss to the Hornets with tightness in his left hamstring and will not play on Friday. With Cam Whitmore (shoulder) out indefinitely with a deep-vein thrombosis, there will be more minutes available to Tre Johnson off the bench. While he isn’t at a point where he should be rostered in redraft leagues, Johnson has “silly season hero” potential.

Castle hit the metaphorical turbo button in the second half, knocking down 5-of-6 shots from the floor during that span, helping topple the injury-riddled Thunder with an impressive scoring display. The 21-year-old second-year guard has recorded at least 17 points in seven consecutive contests since December 8. He’s made a noticeable leap this season, averaging 18.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 7.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.4 blocks through 20 games. He’ll attempt to keep the momentum going when the two teams face off again on Christmas Day in Oklahoma City.

Wembanyama, who came off the bench for the sixth straight game as he continues working his way back to full strength from a calf injury, failed to record a block for the first time in 101 games. The positive news here is that the Spurs have won 14 of their last 17 games, including seven straight. The 21-year-old generational talent will likely be on a minutes restriction once again when San Antonio faces off against the Thunder on Christmas Day in Oklahoma City.

Johnson was the unexpected X-factor in a highly-anticipated showdown between a pair of Western Conference heavyweights, draining a season-high five three-pointers to surpass the 20-point mark for the first time since November 30. The 26-year-old is a bit of an afterthought for San Antonio on most nights but he’s played over 20 minutes in seven of 10 games since the start of December.

There weren’t a ton of bright spots for the Wizards as they faded badly in the second half of this one, but Coulibaly drained 3-of-9 from three-point range and managed to drop 14 points in just 23 minutes of action as he continues to work his way back from an ankle injury. The 21-year-old remains the textbook definition of a long-term developmental project but he continues to show flashes of potential as a shooter with the athleticism to impact the game on both ends of the floor.

Sarr matched a season high with four blocks in just his third appearance over the last 10 games since December 1, as a lingering adductor issue has continued to limit his availability. When healthy, the 20-year-old former lottery pick has delivered a strong all-around impact, averaging 18.2 points, 8.6 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 0.7 steals and 2.0 blocks across 29 games.

Whitmore has not played consistent rotation minutes for the Wizards this season, but he’s been active for the last few games with a shoulder injury. Unfortunately, he has been diagnosed with a deep vein thrombosis in his shoulder and is out indefinitely. Victor Wembanyama dealt with a similar injury last season, and the Spurs declared him out for the rest of the year after the All-Star break.

Wembanyama has been available for all four official games the Spurs have played since returning from a strained calf. However, he has not played more than 21 minutes in any of those outings, and there’s a chance that Wemby won’t play on Tuesday. Luke Kornet has remained in the starting lineup, and that may not change even if Wembanyama plays. What would change if Wemby sits is that Kelly Olynyk would pick up rotation minutes off the bench.

Coulibaly returned from a four-game absence due to an oblique injury last Thursday, but missed Saturday’s game with ankle sprain. The 21-year-old shooting guard is questionable for Tuesday’s game against the Hornets, which could leave the Wizards shorthanded on the win.

Fox served as San Antonio’s primary offensive catalyst, delivering a robust all-around effort in a stat sheet-stuffing performance. He knocked down 5-of-7 from three-point range and shot 52.6 percent from the floor on a team-leading 19 attempts. The 28-year-old guard has been in a little bit of a rut from a scoring standpoint over the past week so it was a positive sign to see him get back on track in this one. The Spurs are back in action with a three-game week that includes a pair of matchups against the Thunder before closing the week against the Jazz.

Carrington continues his emergence as one of Washington’s main scoring threats as he’s topped 14 points in five of his last six games since December 6. The 20-year-old youngster drained 4-of-6 from three-point range and shot 63.6 percent from the floor overall in this one. He’s at least worthy of a speculative roster spot in all fantasy formats until further notice. The Wizards kick off a three-game week against the Hornets on Tuesday before facing the Raptors and Grizzlies.

Wemby recorded his second straight double-double, accomplishing the feat in just over 21 minutes off the bench. The 22-year-old franchise cornerstone has had a governor on his workload since returning last weekend from an extended absence due to a calf injury. However, he’s remained productive from a fantasy standpoint, averaging 19.3 points, 10.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 0.5 steals and 2.5 blocks during that four-game span.

Vukcevic matched a season-high in the points department, reaching double figures for the sixth time in his last nine games, falling one rebound shy of his first double-double of the year. The 22-year-old big man is a fringe fantasy option in deeper leagues with Marvin Bagley III and Alex Sarr seeing most of the frontcourt minutes.

The Wizards are without their top two centers, as Alex Sarr and Marvin Bagley III are unavailable due to injury. As a result, Vukčević moves into the starting lineup, and he’ll have deep-league fantasy value out of necessity. The other change to the lineup is Champagnie, who replaces Khris Middleton due to Sunday’s game being Washington’s second in as many nights.

George was extremely efficient, shooting 62.5 percent from the floor, draining 3-of-7 from beyond the arc to finish just shy of his second 30-point performance of the season. It was his first time reaching the 20-point threshold since November 19. The 22-year-old is averaging an encouraging 15.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks across four games over the past two weeks. The Wizards are back in action on Sunday with a home tilt against the Spurs before kicking off a three-game week on Tuesday with a road matchup against the Hornets.

There isn’t much mystery to McCollum’s game at this advanced stage of his career. He’ll pour in somewhere close to 20 points while chipping in a modest handful of rebounds and assists per-game, but that’s mostly it. The 34-year-old veteran guard offers some value as a low-ceiling, high-floor scoring option but that’s pretty much it these days. He’s been a bit streakier than usual since the start of December but he’s scored at least 22 points in five of eight contests during that span.

Wemby led San Antonio in scoring and recorded a double-double for the first time in over a month while only playing 22 minutes. He came off the bench again, but he once again dominated during his minutes on the floor.

He could’ve played longer if the game was closer, which is a good sign for his continued progression.

This was the second straight game that Castle put up this exact stat line. Seriously. The only difference was one fewer field goal attempt and one fewer free throw attempt in this one. Castle could’ve been more productive in both if the scores were closer, and Sunday’s game in Washington doesn’t provide much optimism for a closer outing. Castle has been effective, but he only played 24 minutes after playing 25 minutes on Thursday. They play the Thunder twice next week, so Castle’s minutes should go up for those games at least.

And he needed the slump-buster, having totaled 13 points on 3-of-15 shooting in the Spurs’ prior two games. Vassell’s performance on Saturday was especially encouraging because it came with Victor Wembanyama available, even if the big man’s minutes were limited. For the season, Vassell is closing in on top-75 value in nine-cat formats, exceeding his Yahoo! ADP (97).

The reigning Rookie of the Year took a beating on Saturday, finishing with both a bloody lip and a bloody nose, and he was also responsible for six turnovers. However, Castle’s turnover issues were limited mainly to the first quarter, as he and the other Spurs appeared to be pressing. Victor Wembanyama subbing in to begin the second quarter certainly helped calm some nerves. Castle has scored at least 20 points in seven games this season, and his scoring average is nearly four points higher than his rookie year number (14.7). Next up for Castle and the Spurs are the Knicks in Tuesday’s NBA Cup final, which will not count toward team records or statistics.

Wembanyama made his long-awaited return to the court on Saturday, but fans and fantasy managers had to wait a little longer than they expected. The Spurs did not play him at all in the first quarter, and Wemby logged just seven minutes in the second quarter. The goal was to ensure that Wembanyama’s minutes restriction would not be an issue in the fourth quarter, and the approach worked. He only needed 21 minutes to record an excellent stat line, showing why he’s considered one of the NBA’s premier talents. Tuesday’s NBA Cup final against the Knicks won’t count towards stats or fantasy basketball, but the Spurs will have three other games in Week 9.

Saturday’s NBA Cup semifinal will be Wembanyama’s first game since November 14, and the Spurs will not take any chances with his health. He’ll be restricted in two ways: the Spurs will sub him out earlier than usual, resulting in shorter stints on the court, and his overall playing time will decrease.
