San Antonio Spurs

Charles Bassey scored 8 points (4-4 FG, 0-0 3PT, 0-0 FT) and snagged eleven rebounds through 19 minutes in Friday's 121-106 loss against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Fantasy Impact: Charles looked solid in this one as he made every shot he took and well as led the Spurs in rebounding while filling in at center for Victor Wembanyama. If Wembanyama were to miss any more games, Bassey could be a reliable streaming option in deeper leagues.

Zach Collins scored 12 points (3-11 FG, 1-5 3PT, 5-6 FT), to go along with five rebounds, and two steals through 24 minutes in Friday's 121-106 loss against the New Orleans.

Fantasy Impact: Collins struggled in this one as he only shot 27% from the field and 20% from three. Zach was able to add a few rebounds and steals to salvage his day, but overall this is a performance to forget. Collins will look to recover offensively against the Timberwolves on Wednesday.

Keldon Johnson scored 11 points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3PT, 2-2 FT) and secured seven rebounds through 33 minutes in Friday's 121-106 loss against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Fantasy Impact: Keldon didn't have the most offensive involvement in this game despite Wembanyama's absence. This shouldn't be a concern given Johnson's recent success on offense. Keldon will look to be more aggressive against the Timberwolves on Wednesday.

Devin Vassell scored 14 points (5-12 FG, 2-7 3PT, 2-2 FT) and added two steals through 27 minutes in Friday's 121-106 loss against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Fantasy Impact: Vassell saw a decreased role in this one, compared to his last game off the bench where he managed twenty five points. Devin came off the bench and played 27 minutes once again which could limit his long term upside if he continues seeing less than 30 minutes a night.

Jeremy Sochan scored 13 points (4-13 FG, 2-4 3PT, 3-4 FT) and had four assists through 31 minutes in Friday's 121-106 loss against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Fantasy Impact: After an offensive explosion against Atlanta on Thursday, Sochan came back to earth as he struggled from the field. Jeremy continues to start at PG, which will allow him to have additional upside due to higher volume. Sochan will look to bounce back on Wednesday against the Timberwolves.

Fantasy Impact: It will be the first game Wembanyama has missed as the Spurs' try to avoid losing a 14th straight game. Zach Collins could see some more minutes in his absence, while players like Devin Vassell and Keldon Johnson should also see the ball more in their hands.

Cedi Osman scored 17 points (7-10 FG, 2-4 3PT, 1-1 FT) to go along with five rebounds and one assist in the Spurs 124-99 loss against the Clippers.

Fantasy Impact: The 17 points were a season-high for Osman with him being one of three double-digit scorers off the bench for the Spurs on the night. He continues to hold minimal fantasy value overall outside of his ability to hit shots from deep.

Tre Jones (hamstring) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Jones was sidelined for San Antonio's last game thanks to hamstring tightness, and it looks like he will have to miss another game on Friday. It's unclear when he will be back in the lineup, but until then, Malaki Branham will continue to benefit from a fantasy perspective.

Devonte' Graham scored four points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3P, 2-3 FT), a rebound, and seven assists in the Spurs' blowout loss to the Thunder on Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact: Graham has only played in two games this season, so it's taking time to get his feet back under him. His assist numbers are encouraging, and his scoring should increase as the season goes on. He's still a fringe rostered player at best, however,

Julian Champagnie scored 13 points (4-14 FG, 3-7 3P, 2-2 FT), with three rebounds, two assists, three steals, and four blocks in the Spurs' 123-87 loss to the Thunder on Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact: Champagnie was productive in his start in place of Keldon Johnson for the Spurs tonight, especially on the defensive side with a combined seven blocks and steals. It's not something that's likely to repeat itself, but he could have earned himself more playing time regardless.

Reggie Bullock is expected to sign with the Houston Rockets when he clears waivers. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Bullock and the Spurs recently agreed to a contract buyout, and he's expected to sign a new deal with the Rockets when he clears waivers. He drew interest from several teams but will ultimately end up in Houston on a contract that is unknown as of now. Adding him to the team will help the Rockets account for the loss of Kevin Porter Jr., who won't be returning to the team this year.

Lamar Stevens has agreed to sign a deal with the Boston Celtics. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Stevens spent last season on the Cavaliers and played well as a defensive specialist. The Celtics are now bringing him in likely to play that same role, and he should be fairly involved in this rotation. That makes him a solid potential streaming option, but probably not somebody you should be looking to target in your drafts.

Keita Bates-Diop has signed a two-year, $5 million deal with the Phoenix Suns. The free agent forward has found a home. (Source: Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter )

Fantasy Impact: Bates-Diop saw career highs in minutes, points, and assists per game last season as a member of the San Antonio Spurs. On a Suns team full of star power but lacking in depth, Bates-Diop has a chance to carve out a meaningful role in the 2023-24 season.

Doug McDermott (ankle) is unavailable to play in Thursday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: McDermott is managing an ankle injury that will leave him sidelined on Thursday. It's unclear when the team expects him to be back, and his next chance to play will be on Saturday against Minnesota. Keita Bates-Diop will be in line for more work while the veteran is out against Portland.

Romeo Langford (adductor) is considered doubtful to play against the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact: Langford played through the injury on Sunday after being considered questionable. However, this time around it looks like the Spurs will hold him out against the Suns for injury management.

Spurs center Sandro Mamukelashvili finished Sunday's blowout loss to the Celtics with 13 points, five rebounds, three assists and one triple.

Fantasy Impact: Mamukelashvili has quietly posted double-digit scoring in four consecutive games for the Spurs, with at least five rebounds in each of those games as well. He is averaging 26 minutes per game during that stretch, which if that continues to hold, would put him on the deep league radar for fantasy managers in need of rebounding and efficiency scoring.

Malaki Branham has been battling back issues recently, but he continues to get some run for a tanking Spurs team. He finished with 15 points on 7-for-13 shooting in a 137-93 loss to the Celtics Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: Branham simply doesn't provide enough production in other categories to make him a strong hold during the final couple weeks of the season. On days where a combination of Tre Jones and Devin Vassell are out, he likely has a higher ceiling. But there is no telling exactly when that will be.
