While he was responsible for six turnovers, Castle also finished three rebounds shy of a triple-double. Since the All-Star break, the second-year guard has provided sixth-round value in eight-cat formats. Castle’s fantasy value has increased steadily throughout the season, as he’s bounced back nicely from a slow start. Two of San Antonio’s four Week 21 games, Sacramento and Indiana, are against teams focused on the future, which could make for good nights for Castle.

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.

Wemby and the Spurs seemed intent on avenging their loss to the Hornets earlier this season in Saturday’s rematch. The 7-foot-4 phenom was dominant, finishing two assists shy of a triple-double while also recording five defensive contributions. The Spurs open their four-game Week 21 with a road back-to-back against the Clippers and Kings on Monday and Tuesday.

Wembanyama is back after missing Thursday’s loss to the Nuggets with ankle soreness. The 22-year-old center’s return will push Luke Kornet to the bench. Kornet had no points and three rebounds in 25 minutes against the Nuggets.

Wembanyama is back after a one-game absence due to right ankle soreness. The 22-year-old center’s return to the lineup will push Luke Kornet back to his role as the backup center. Wembanyama had 39 points and 11 rebounds in Tuesday’s win over the Celtics.

Harper was initially listed as questionable with a calf contusion, but has since been ruled out for Saturday’s game against the Hornets. The 20-year-old point guard suffered the injury during Thursday’s loss to the Nuggets, though he returned to finish the game with 13 points, five rebounds and five assists in 24 minutes. Carter Bryant should see more minutes with Harper sidelined, but isn’t worth the risk in most fantasy leagues.

Harper suffered a right calf contusion during Thursday’s loss to the Nuggets, but he was able to return after a brief period on the bench. If he’s unable to play against the Hornets, that may free up a few minutes for Carter Bryant, whose playing time decreased on Thursday due to Harrison Barnes’ return from an ankle injury.

Wembanyama did not play in Thursday’s loss to the Nuggets, prompting Luke Kornet to move into the starting lineup. Kornet did not offer much production in that role, leading the Spurs to go without a true center for extended periods.

After a five-game absence, Barnes did not miss a beat on Thursday. With a stat line that only lacked a blocked shot, the 20 points were the most in a game for the veteran forward since December 23, when he hit that number in a win over the Thunder. Barnes’ return meant less playing time for Carter Bryant, who finished with 10 points, three rebounds, one assist and one three-pointer in nine minutes.

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.

After shooting 6-of-8 from three in a March 3 blowout of the 76ers, Vassell would shoot 5-of-21 from beyond the arc in the following four games. He snapped out of that slump on Thursday, knocking down four of his ten attempts. The overall stat line was solid, and Vassell has been a top-100 player since the All-Star break. He’ll look to finish Week 20 in a high note when the Spurs host the Hornets on Saturday.

Castle had an excellent night, albeit in a losing effort. The second-year guard picked up the slack on a night when the Spurs didn’t have Victor Wembanyama (ankle), recording his third career triple-double. Just as positive for fantasy managers is that Castle continues to take better care of the basketball. Counting Thursday, he’s recorded two assists or fewer in seven of his last eight appearances. The Spurs host the Hornets on Saturday in what could be another high-scoring affair.

The Spurs won’t have Victor Wembanyama, who’s missing a game for the first time since early January with a sore right ankle. Kornet moves into the starting lineup, which makes him a worthwhile streamer. Mason Plumlee may also see some action off the bench in what would be his Spurs debut.

Barnes will return after missing San Antonio’s last five games. Carter Bryant has taken on extra minutes off the bench with Barnes sidelined, though that hasn’t led to much fantasy production. However, he’ll likely lose minutes with Barnes back.

Waters is good to go for Thursday’s game, but so is Harrison Barnes (ankle). As a result, fantasy managers can leave Waters on the waiver wire.

Wemby will miss a game for the first time since early January. He could return to take on the Hornets on Saturday, but Luke Kornet should enter the starting unit for this game and try to slow down Nikola Jokic.

Waters’ availability does not affect fantasy basketball, as he is not guaranteed to play rotation minutes when available. And with Harrison Barnes potentially returning from an ankle injury, there will be even fewer opportunities available to Waters.

Wembanyama is dealing with right ankle soreness after playing 37 minutes in Tuesday’s win over the Celtics. If he were to sit out Thursday’s game, the Spurs would turn to Luke Kornet to fill the resulting void in the starting lineup.

Barnes has missed the Spurs’ last five games with a left ankle impingement. His absence has resulted in more playing time for rookie Carter Bryant. While his production has not made him a consistent factor in fantasy basketball, Bryant has had some positive moments since his playing time increased.

The turnovers were rough, but this was a dominant outing from Wemby. He matched his career high for three-pointers in a game while also having his highest-scoring performance since before the All-Star break. Wemby has been on a tear recently and has been the best player in nine-category leagues over the past two months. They only play two more games this week, with the next one coming against the Nuggets on Thursday in what should be an exciting matchup between two of the league’s best centers.

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.

Barnes remains out, with Tuesday’s game marking the fifth he’s missed due to a left ankle impingement. His absence has freed up rotation minutes for rookie Carter Bryant. While he hasn’t been productive enough to affect fantasy basketball, Bryant has provided solid contributions on both ends of the floor.

Rostered in 19 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Harper’s place within the Spurs’ rotation makes him a challenging player to trust in 12-team leagues. However, the rookie has been productive enough to merit rostering in deeper redraft leagues, and his dynasty league value remains high. Harper and the Spurs begin a three-game Week 20 on Tuesday against the Celtics.

After totaling 18 points on 6-of-15 shooting from the field in his prior two games, Johnson recorded his first 20-point game since February 11 on Sunday. And given the limited value he provides outside of points and rebounds, Johnson’s category league value takes a significant hit when the scoring decreases. Since the All-Star break, his value has not cracked the top-250 in eight- or nine-cat formats. For that reason, it was good to see Johnson get untracked against the Rockets.

Castle was one of three Spurs to score at least 20 points on Sunday, with Victor Wembanyama and Keldon Johnson being the others. The second-year guard may not have recorded any defensive stats, but he was efficient on the other end of the floor. Since the All-Star break, Castle has recorded two turnovers or fewer in seven of San Antonio’s ten games. Wemby may be the headliner, and with good reason, but Castle’s improved efficiency as a playmaker has also given the Spurs, 9-1 since the break, a boost.

Wemby put on a show on Sunday, recording a robust stat line in the Spurs’ 145-120 victory to end Week 19 on a high note. He’s now rejected at least four shots in five straight and seven of his last eight games, his most productive stretch of the season in that category. Add in the points and rebounds, and it’s easy to see why Wembanyama is one of the best players in fantasy basketball, regardless of position. The Spurs play three games in Week 20, starting with the Celtics on Tuesday.
