Devin Vassell

SAS Guard-Forward #24

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Devin Vassell accounted for 23 points (6-of-13 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), five rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block and four three-pointers in Saturday’s win over the Thunder.

Vassell led the way for the Spurs in what was a balanced scoring effort, with four players scoring at least 22 points in Saturday’s victory. 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).
Stephon Castle

SAS Guard #5

Stephon Castle amassed 22 points (9-of-16 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), six rebounds, two assists and two three-pointers in Saturday’s win over the Thunder.

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.
De'Aaron Fox

SAS Guard #4

De’Aaron Fox accounted for 22 points (8-of-15 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), two rebounds, four assists, two steals, one block and three three-pointers in Saturday’s win over the Thunder.

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.
Victor Wembanyama

SAS Forward-Center #1

Victor Wembanyama finished Saturday’s win over the Thunder with 22 points (6-of-11 FGs, 9-of-12 FTs), nine rebounds, two assists, one steal, two blocks and one three-pointer.

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.
Victor Wembanyama

SAS Forward-Center #1

Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson said on Friday that Victor Wembanyama (calf) will be subbed earlier than usual and play fewer minutes in Saturday’s game against the Thunder.

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. Luke Kornet will shift back into his usual backup center role, but his ceiling may be slightly higher than usual due to the restrictions the team is imposing on Wembanyama.
Victor Wembanyama

SAS Forward-Center #1

Victor Wembanyama (calf) is listed as probable for Saturday’s NBA Cup matchup with the Thunder.

Wembanyama will be a welcomed site on the court, as the Spurs will try to take down the red-hot Thunder, winners of 16 straight games. Wemby may face restrictions in his first game back as he works his way back into game shape. His return should mean fewer minutes for Luke Kornet and Julian Champagnie. Bismack Biyombo may fall completely out of the rotation.
Victor Wembanyama

SAS Forward-Center #1

Spurs coach Mitch Johnson told reporters Victor Wembanyama (calf) could return for Saturday’s game against the Thunder.

When asked if Wembanyama could return against the Thunder Saturday, Johnson said, “Very much so.” He added that Wembanyama had a very intense workout Wednesday and his availability will depend on how he responds. Even if the 21-year-old center isn’t able to make it back on the floor this weekend, his return doesn’t seem far off, which is great news for fantasy managers.
Julian Champagnie

SAS Forward #30

Julian Champagnie had 16 points (6-of-8 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds, two assists, one block, one steal and two three-pointers against the Lakers on Wednesday.

Champagnie has played 29 minutes in each of the last two games since Stephon Castle returned from a hip injury. The 24-year-old small forward had played at least 35 minutes in three of the last five games before Castle returned. Castle played 27 minutes Wednesday, which will only increase with time and potentially cut into Champagnie’s minutes even more. He’s still worth holding in deeper formats for now, though.
De'Aaron Fox

SAS Guard #4

De’Aaron Fox had 20 points (8-of-17 FGs), four rebounds, three assists, two steals, four three-pointers against the Lakers on Wednesday.

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.
Stephon Castle

SAS Guard #5

Stephon Castle had 30 points (10-of-14 FGs, 7-of-9 FTs), 10 rebounds, six assists and three three-pointers in the Spurs’ 132-119 victory over the Lakers on Wednesday.

After playing on a minutes limit in his return from a hip injury Monday, Castle erupted with a massive game in the win over the Lakers on Wednesday. The 21-year-old shooting guard was just four assists shy of a triple-double, posting a 30/10/6 line. Castle, last year’s Rookie of the Year, still only played 27 minutes Wednesday. His minutes and fantasy value should only increase going forward.
