Barnes produced two points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and three rebounds over 22 minutes during Saturday's 115-102 win over the Hornets.
Fresh off a 20-point performance, Barnes regressed heavily, scoring fewer than five points for the fifth time in his past seven appearances. Following a serviceable start to the season, Barnes has offered very little over the past two months. In 22 games during that time, he has been outside the top 270 in standard leagues, averaging just 8.3 points and 1.7 three-pointers in 22.9 minutes per game.

Spurs' Julian Champagnie: Muted production continues
Rotowire
Champagnie posted nine points (4-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 33 minutes during Saturday's 115-102 win over the Hornets.
Champagnie scored single digits for the third straight game, having seen his offensive game trend in the wrong direction. Although his role has remained relatively consistent, the fact is that when his three-point shot is not falling, he struggles to put up viable fantasy value. For those needing immediate production, it might be time to move on.

Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Dominates again in win
Rotowire
Wembanyama chipped in 32 points (13-24 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, eight assists, four blocks and two steals over 31 minutes during Saturday's 115-102 win over Charlotte.
Wembanyama returned after a one-game absence as a result of a minor ankle concern, dominating on both ends of the floor yet again. The third-year phenom continues to string together an array of personal highlights and has been the best player in fantasy over the past month. In 12 games during that span, he has averaged 24.2 points, 11.4 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.3 steals, 4.2 blocks and 2.5 three-pointers, all while shooting 49.5 percent from the field and 82.5 percent from the line.

Spurs' Luke Kornet: Back to bench Saturday
Rotowire
Kornet is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game versus the Hornets.
Victor Wembanyama is back in the first unit after missing Thursday's loss to Denver with right ankle soreness. Kornet has averaged 4.3 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 15.1 minutes per tilt across his last eight games off the bench, and he'll be battling for the backup center minutes with Mason Plumlee on Saturday.

Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Available Saturday
Rotowire
Wembanyama (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Hornets, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
Wembanyama has officially been cleared to play this afternoon after missing Thursday's loss to Denver with right ankle soreness. While Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson remained optimistic Wembanyama would be cleared to play, the star center's status was technically a game-time decision until he completed his pregame routine. Before the one-game absence, Wembanyama had been on an absolute tear, averaging 33.3 points per game over his last four outings, which is well above his season average of 24.2 points.

Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Optimism to play Saturday
Rotowire
Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson said that he's optimistic that Wembanyama (ankle) will play against the Hornets on Saturday, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.
Wembanyama was unable to play against the Nuggets on Thursday due to a right ankle injury. The third-year phenom can be considered a game-time decision for Saturday's contest, and if he can't play, he'll likely be available for Monday's game against the Clippers. If Wembanyama is ruled out, then Luke Kornet would likely remain in the Spurs' starting lineup.

Spurs' Dylan Harper: Not playing Saturday
Rotowire
Harper (calf) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Hornets, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.
The rookie first-rounder will miss his first game since Feb. 4 while recovering from a right calf contusion, and his next chance to play is Monday against the Clippers. In Harper's absence, Jordan McLaughlin and Keldon Johnson are both candidates to see more minutes off the bench in Saturday's home tilt.

Spurs' Dylan Harper: Iffy to face Charlotte
Rotowire
Harper is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Hornets due to a right calf contusion.
The calf issue is a new concern for Harper, who hasn't missed a game since Feb. 4. If the rookie first-rounder is unable to suit up, Jordan McLaughlin and Keldon Johnson would be candidates to see increased playing time off the bench.

Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Questionable for Saturday
Rotowire
Wembanyama (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Hornets.
Wembanyama missed Thursday's loss to Denver due to right ankle soreness and is in jeopardy of missing Saturday's contest as well. If the star big man is ultimately ruled out, Luke Kornet would likely get the starting nod, while Mason Plumlee could remain in the rotation.
Spurs' Keldon Johnson: Cold shooting night in narrow loss
Rotowire
Johnson closed with five points (2-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists and one block across 22 minutes during Thursday's 136-131 loss to the Nuggets.
While Victor Wembanyama (ankle) was a late scratch for this contest, his expected return for Saturday's game against Charlotte will move the Spurs back to their standard frontcourt rotation. Johnson has been the definition of inconsistent lately. While he exploded for 20 points against Houston on March 8, he has failed to reach double digits in three of his last five outings. During that span, he is averaging 10.2 points and 4.8 rebounds while shooting just 40.4 percent from the floor. As he continues to provide a scoring punch exclusively off the bench, his fantasy floor remains low due to these inconsistencies.

Spurs' Harrison Barnes: Erupts off bench
Rotowire
Barnes finished Thursday's 136-131 loss to the Nuggets with 20 points (6-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal in 27 minutes.
After missing five straight games due to a left ankle impingement, Barnes appeared rejuvenated in his return to the lineup. There is a lot of competition for touches in San Antonio, but Barnes picked up some shots due to Victor Wembanyama (ankle) sitting this one out.

Spurs' De'Aaron Fox: Drops 27 points in loss
Rotowire
Fox chipped in 27 points (10-19 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 3-6 FT), three rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Thursday's 136-131 loss to Denver.
Fox put together a strong shooting performance and helped give his team a chance to win by excelling as a playmaker. However, Victor Wembanyama's (ankle) absence was too much to overcome for the Spurs. Fox has been a steady source of points and assists of late, as he's averaging 24.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 8.0 assists and 1.0 steals over his last five matchups.

Spurs' Carter Bryant: Provides decent boost off bench
Rotowire
Bryant provided 10 points (4-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and one assist across nine minutes during Thursday's 136-131 loss to the Nuggets.
Bryant scored in double figures for the second time this month and needed only nine minutes to do it. He continues to hang on at the back end of the rotation, and while he can occasionally provide a small boost in the scoring or rebounding category, he's not someone you can rely on at this time.
Spurs' Stephon Castle: Tallies third triple-double
Rotowire
Castle accumulated 30 points (7-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 12-13 FT), 11 rebounds and 10 assists in 35 minutes during Thursday's 136-131 loss to Denver.
Castle pieced together a strong showing on the offensive end and put up 30 or more points for just the third time in 56 appearances this season. Thursday also marked his third triple-double of the campaign, as he continues to prove that he can produce across the board on any given night. Castle is averaging 17.6 points, 6.4 rebounds and 8.2 assists over his last five games.

Spurs' Harrison Barnes: Cleared to play
Rotowire
Barnes (ankle) will play Thursday night against the Nuggets, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
