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.

Fox did not play in Saturday’s loss to the Jazz, opening up a spot in the starting lineup for Julian Champagnie. While Champagnie’s impact was muted due to a 0-of-6 night from beyond the arc, he’s capable of offering solid deep-league streaming value when allowed to start.

Fox has been ruled out after he was initially listed as questionable with left adductor tightness. Without the 28-year-old point guard, Dyan Harper or Julian Champagnie will move into the starting lineup. Both are in play as streaming options.

Fox is dealing with tightness in his left adductor. If he’s unable to play, Dylan Harper and Julian Champagnie are potential replacements in the starting lineup. While Harper boasts a higher long-term ceiling, fantasy managers needing three-pointers should not sleep on Champagnie if he starts.

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.

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.

Fox was one of four Spurs to score either 22 or 23 points on Saturday, with the team rebounding from a brutal 0-of-11 start from three to hand Oklahoma City its second loss of the season. Fox has scored at least 20 points in 14 of the 17 games he’s appeared in this season, and he’s providing top-25 value in eight-cat formats. After Tuesday’s NBA Cup final against the Knicks, Fox and the Spurs will play three games over the final four days of Week 9. That’s good news for fantasy managers.

Fox led the Spurs with a +21 in 31 minutes in the 132-119 victory over the Lakers on Wednesday. Stephon Castle, who returned from a hip injury Monday, played 27 minutes while Dylan Harper played 20 minutes off the bench. Castle’s minutes should only increase, meaning less of the offense will ultimately run through Fox, whose scoring is crucial with Victor Wembanyama (calf) still sidelined.

Fox has been able to provide late-game magic in multiple games recently to help lead the Spurs to wins, but he wasn’t able to get it done in this one. Still, he was able to turn in a strong line. Fox has now scored at least 25 points in four straight games and in nine of his last 10 appearances. He’ll continue to keep the Spurs afloat until Victor Wembanyama (calf) returns to the lineup.

While Fox did not record any defensive stats and was responsible for seven turnovers, eight-cat managers will undoubtedly accept his stat line. The Spurs guard, whose two free throws with 1.4 seconds remaining gave his team the lead for good, recorded his second 20-point game of the season. With Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle sidelined, more of the offense runs through Fox, which raises his ceiling despite the turnover concerns.

Fox checked back into the game with 4:07 left in the fourth, with the Spurs down 113-110. From that point on, he had 11 points and an assist to deliver a win for San Antonio. Fox has been able to help the Spurs stay afloat with Victor Wembanyama (calf) sidelined, and he has been able to provide third-round value to this point. He is having his best season from the free throw line and the second-best field goal percentage of his career. Fox will continue to shine as the focal point of this team until Wemby returns, and he’ll have no issues still being a star after that.

The Spurs have won five of their last seven games, but they were unable to outscore a red-hot Timberwolves squad without both Victor Wembanyama (calf) and Stephon Castle (hip) in this one. The 27-year-old point guard topped 25 points for the sixth time in his last seven contests. He’s delivered third-round value for fantasy purposes this season, averaging 24.1 points, 3.5 rebounds, 6.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.4 blocks through 11 games. The Spurs will kick off a four-game week on Teusday against the Grizzlies before road matchups against the Magic, Cavaliers and Pelicans.

While Devin Vassell and Julian Champagnie handled most of the scoring, Fox led the way with 12 assists on Friday. And he’s been highly valuable to fantasy managers recently, providing top-20 value in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. While some may be tempted to sell high, that may not be the best course of action. With Stephon Castle and Victor Wembanyama out, Fox has a higher ceiling, and taking advantage of this would be a good idea.

Fox erupted for his highest scoring performance of the season on Wednesday. The three-point shot worked in his favor, as free-throw production was also a key in his scoring total. The near-40-point outing also marked the sixth game in a row that the lefty guard has scored at least 24 points. Additionally, he finished as the Spurs’ leader in assists and came up two dimes short of the double-double. He’s integrated himself into the rotation nicely after missing the start of the season due to injury.

Since the Spurs lost Victor Wembanyama to a calf injury, Fox has scored at least 26 points in four straight games. He’s been a third-round player in nine-cat formats during this stretch, providing value that exceeds his Yahoo! ADP (42). Of course, Fox’s ADP was impacted by the hamstring injury that kept him out to begin the season. But he’s well-positioned to provide excellent value moving forward, even after Wembanyama and Stephon Castle return to the lineup. The Spurs play three games in Week 6, starting with the Trail Blazers on Wednesday.

Fox has scored at least 24 points in four straight games, the last three being played without Victor Wembanyama. The absences of Wemby and Stephon Castle put Fox in a position to provide added fantasy value, and he’s been up to the task. During this four-game stretch, he has been a top-25 player in eight- and nine-cat formats. The Spurs end Week 5 with a game in Phoenix on Sunday.

After a subpar first half in which he scored four points, Fox flipped the switch after halftime. He scored 22 in the second half, the final two coming on a windmill dunk that capped a game-ending 11-0 run. With Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle out due to injury, Fox will be even more important to the Spurs offensively. If he can build on Tuesday’s second-half performance, those who have Fox rostered will be in a great spot.

Fox orchestrated a balanced offensive attack for San Antonio, handing out a season-high 11 assists against his former team to help seven different Spurs reach double figures while Victor Wembanyama (calf) was sidelined. The 27-year-old upper-echelon facilitator has averaged 22 points, 3.6 rebounds, 6.8 assists, and one steal over five games since making his season debut on November 8. The Spurs have a three-game week coming up with matchups against the Grizzlies, Hawks and Suns.

This was only Fox’s fourth game of the year, while the first two were solid, he struggled in Wednesday’s loss to Golden State. He was better in the rematch, matching his season-high for points and setting a new season-high for assists. It wasn’t enough to get a win, but it was encouraging to see Fox be used more as a playmaker. This was his best performance so far, and he’ll look to carry that into Sunday’s matchup with the Kings to close out the week.

Fox totaled his lowest scoring total of the season on Wednesday while committing six turnovers for the second straight contest. He struggled with his shooting both inside and outside the arc along the way, but ended up tying a season-high in assists. Fox has seen his scoring production dip in each game since his return from injury. He’ll likely need to shake off some early-season rust before he rounds into form.

While Fox had a good night shooting the basketball, the efficiency took a hit due to his committing six turnovers. However, a little rust is unsurprising, given the amount of time he missed due to injury. Fox has totaled 45 points in his two appearances, shooting 17-of-28 from the field, and he only had two turnovers in his debut on Saturday. Thus far, the positives have outweighed the negatives for Fox, who’s establishing better on-court chemistry with Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle.

Suiting up for the first time this season, Fox had no issues getting his shot to fall. He scored 15 points in the second quarter alone and led the Spurs in scoring to help them move to 7-2. Head coach Mitch Johnson said Fox wouldn’t have a minutes restriction, and he ended up logging 30 minutes. That should increase as he logs more games, and they don’t have a back-to-back until December, which should help Fox be available for the rest of the month.

Fox will be available for the first time this season and will push Julian Champagnie to the bench in his first game back. Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said Fox won’t have a minutes restriction, which is great news for managers that have been awaiting his return to the lineup.

Fox’s season debut will be delayed by one more game. That means another start for Julian Champagnie, though he hasn’t been much of a fantasy producer in that role. Stephon Castle will also continue to be the primary point guard option.

Fox has not reached the point where he’s healthy enough to play in games, so he’ll remain on the sideline. Since opening night, Julian Champagnie has been a starter and will retain that role. Ranked outside the top-150 in nine-cat formats, he is not a player who has to be rostered in most fantasy leagues.
