With Stephon Castle sidelined for this game, Fox stepped up as a playmaker and recorded his first double-double in over a month. Fox is still capable of producing at a high level, but he hasn’t been as aggressive as a scorer this season. The younger guards have stepped up, but Fox reminded us in this game that he can still facilitate at a high level. This type of performance was great to see with the playoffs a little over a week away.

No Victor Wembanyama or Stephon Castle for Wednesday’s game meant more scoring opportunities for Fox, whose 20 shot attempts were the most in a game for him since a March 5 win over the Pistons. And the Spurs’ guard was efficient, shooting 50 percent from the field. Fox’s turnover count was a tad high, as he was responsible for four, but he finished with an assist-to-turnover ratio of nearly 2-to-1. The Spurs are locked into the second seed in the West, so they may use Fox a little less than usual in the final two regular-season games.

With no Victor Wembanyama, as he sat to rest his ankle, Fox was able to do a bit more scoring-wise than he did in Wednesday’s win over the Warriors. The Spurs’ guard doubled his point total from the night prior, and he did so on good percentages from the field and the foul line. Add in the rebounds, assists, and steals, and this was the kind of performance many Fox managers had hoped for once it was known that Wembanyama would not play.

Fox’s counting stats aren’t ones to brag about — he narrowly made it into double figures as a scorer and finished with fewer than five rebounds and assists. Yet he was a team-best plus-30 in his 25 minutes, reflecting the positive impact he had on Wednesday’s game. From a fantasy standpoint, however, the veteran guard’s production has slowed during Championship Week. Perhaps a more competitive game could lead to an increase in production.

Fox missed Wednesday’s game against Memphis, which allowed Dylan Harper to get the starting nod in his place. Fox will be back after missing just his second game of the season, which means Harper will return to playing a role off the bench.

Fox will be sidelined for just the second time this season. Dylan Harper, who made his first career start on Saturday, should return to the starting unit for this game. He has been on fire over San Antonio’s last two games and should continue to shine in a larger role.

Fox has scored at least 20 points in four of his last seven games, and he also provided solid value in the rebound category on Thursday. Since the All-Star break, the Spurs guard has provided eighth-round value in eight-cat formats. That isn’t on par with Fox’s ADP (39), but it isn’t the end of the world for him or those who have him rostered.

Fox didn’t put up a great field goal percentage on Saturday, but he did provide fantasy managers with a complete stat line. However, he has shot 51.1 percent from the field since the All-Star break, so Saturday’s effort was very much a one-off for the Spurs’ guard. Fox will look to get Week 21 off to a good start when the Spurs visit the Clippers on Monday.

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.

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.

It has been a rough stretch for Fox since the All-Star break, but he was able to get on track in this one. This was his highest-scoring performance since Jan. 22, and it came after he scored a total of 32 points across their previous three games. There weren’t any issues when the Spurs were winning, but his seven-point outing in the loss to the Knicks stuck out. It was good to see him have a night like this, and it will hopefully carry over into their matchup with the Clippers on Friday.

San Antonio’s starting guards struggled on Sunday, with Fox and Stephon Castle (13/4/4/1 with one three-pointer) shooting a combined 8-of-23 from the field. The former was responsible for six assists, so all wasn’t lost for Fox managers, but they were certainly hoping to get more out of him offensively. The seven points were the fewest in a game for him since December 23, when Fox matched his season-low with six points in a win over the Thunder. Fox and Castle will look to bounce back on Tuesday in Philadelphia.

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.

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. While the Spurs were able to get away with that against the Kings, who have lost 16 straight, that may not be the case on Monday against the Pistons. San Antonio plays four games in Week 18.

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. But his playmaking was also on full display, as he fell just a couple assists short of securing a double-double. The production wasn’t outstanding, but fantasy managers will take it. He’ll have a chance to log a bigger performance on Saturday against the Kings.

Fox only played 17 minutes in Tuesday’s win over the Lakers, as the Spurs were never challenged. That wasn’t the case on Wednesday, and the speedy guard stepped up with one of his best performances of the season. In scoring 27 points, Fox shot 11-of-16 from the field and provided excellent value in the assist and steal categories. The Spurs will complete their Week 17 schedule with two games after the All-Star break, starting with the Suns on February 19.

Fox is available after being listed as questionable with back soreness. The 28-year-old point guard has had a double-double in his last two games including Thursday, which was also against the Mavericks. He’ll look to extend his streak to three on Saturday as the Spurs close out Week 16.

Fox is uncertain to play on Saturday due to back soreness. He most recently served the Mavericks with a double-double in the Spurs’ win on Thursday, which was his second consecutive. Fox will have a chance to extend his streak to three straight double-doubles on Saturday if he’s able to play. If unavailable, Dylan Harper or Jordan McLaughlin could realistically slot into the starting unit.

While Stephon Castle (14/3/4/3/2 in 26 minutes) was available after missing Sunday’s win over the Magic, his return did not prevent Fox from hitting double figures in assists for a second consecutive game. This is the second time the Spurs guard has accomplished this feat this season, with the first occurring in mid-November. Fox will look to make it three straight when the Spurs visit Dallas on Thursday.

This is the second time the game has been moved back due to the Spurs’ issues getting out of Charlotte following Saturday’s loss to the Hornets. Initially scheduled to begin at 3 PM Eastern, the start time was pushed back to 7 PM, and now to 9 PM.

Fox’s production was relatively mild on Wednesday, but was still good enough to come within arm’s reach of a 20-point double-double. He shot efficiently and made the most of his shot attempts, leading him to finish as the second-leading scorer on the team. Ball security was an issue for Fox in this game, but otherwise, he had a fine performance against the Rockets.

San Antonio’s starting backcourt of Fox and Stephon Castle (five points, four rebounds, five assists and one steal) combined to shoot 5-of-14 from the field on Sunday. While that wasn’t the only reason for the loss, it certainly didn’t help the Spurs’ cause. Over the past two weeks, Fox has been close to a top-50 player in eight-cat formats, with the foul line (63.3 percent) being his issue. Given the season-long value, Fox should be fine moving forward.

Fox scored 12 of his 31 points during the fourth quarter, a fitting cap to one of his best games of the season. This was his third 30-point game of the season and first since December 3, with the Spurs guard shooting the ball exceptionally well from the field. Over the past two weeks, Fox has offered fourth-round per-game value in eight-cat formats.

With backcourt partner Stephon Castle (8/6/9/3 with two three-pointers) playing through an illness, Fox took his game up a notch on Saturday. In recording his fourth double-double of the season, the Spurs’ guard matched his season-high with 12 assists. Shooting 43.7 percent from the field, Fox has been an 11th-round player over the past two weeks in eight-cat formats.

Fox was one of several Spurs players who found production in limited minutes on Thursday. The veteran guard logged just 23 minutes of action, thanks to a comfortable Spurs lead, but still nearly finished with 20 points. Fox’s trio of three-pointers was important as far as fantasy basketball is concerned, though he didn’t have much of an impact elsewhere. Regardless, he performed well in his minutes and should be a bit more rested for Saturday’s game against the Timberwolves.

Fox eclipsed the 20-point plateau for the first time in three games, falling one rebound shy of his fourth double-double performance of the year. The 28-year-old facilitator hasn’t lived up to expectations from a scoring standpoint in his first full season with San Antonio, but he’s still provided fifth-round fantasy value, averaging 21.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.3 blocks through 29 games.

Fox hit two corner threes during the fourth quarter, which boosted the final points tally for the night. Over the past two weeks, the Spurs guard has offered eighth-round per-game value in eight-cat formats. Fox’s problem recently has been the foul line, as he’s making just 65.4 percent of his attempts. While he’s never been an elite foul shooter, that’s poor for a guard of his caliber. The Spurs begin a four-game Week 12 in Memphis on Tuesday, and they’ll have two back-to-backs.

San Antonio had little trouble taking care of business against the floundering Pacers with Fox reaching the 20-point plateau for the fourth time in his last six contests since December 21. It would’ve been an even bigger night from a scoring standpoint had he not been ice-cold from three-point range where he went just 2-of-9 in an uncharacteristically poor effort. The 28-year-old guard will be asked to shoulder more of the scoring workload with Victor Wembanyama (knee) likely to miss a couple additional games. The Spurs are back in action on Saturday night when they face the Trail Blazers to close out a back-to-back.

Fox bounced back after scoring only 14 points in the loss to the Cavaliers Monday to drop 25 points in the win over the Knicks Wednesday. The 28-year-old point guard once again struggled from behind the three-point line. Over the last two games combined, Fox is 2-of-14 from behind the three-point line. A 38 percent three-point shooter this year, he’ll look to add some threes to his otherwise excellent stat line against the Pacers Friday.

Fox is back after missing Saturday’s loss to the Jazz. His return means that Julian Champagnie will head to the bench, lowering his fantasy ceiling. San Antonio’s other four starters are unchanged.
