Spurs' Joffrey Lauvergne: Posts 14 points, seven boards in Wednesday's loss
Joffrey Lauvergne collected 14 points (6-9 FG, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, and one block in 19 minutes during Wednesday's 121-116 loss to the Pelicans.Lauvergne stepped up when LaMarcus Aldridge (ankle) was forced to exit the contest, providing excellent per-minute production.

Spurs' Joffrey Lauvergne: Career-high scoring total against former squad
Joffrey Lauvergne generated 26 points (12-15 FG, 2-4 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one block across 24 minutes in Tuesday's 117-109 loss to the Nuggets.The big man and former Nugget went for a career-high point tally against his old squad, and he was able to generate the top score on the San Antonio Spurs for the night as well. Lauvergne more than doubled up starter Davis Bertans' haul for the night, despite the fact he played three fewer minutes. The 26-year-old's surge represented only his fifth double-digit scoring effort of the campaign, as well as only his second time logging more than 20 minutes. Encouraging as Lauvergne's performance was, it largely came about as a result of LaMarcus Aldridge's second consecutive absence due to knee soreness. If past usage is to be trusted, Lauvergne's minutes are likely to return to the mid-teens while playing behind both Aldridge and Bertans.

Spurs' Joffrey Lauvergne: Hands out season-high three dimes in Monday's loss
Joffrey Lauvergne collected three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 FT), three assists, and one rebound in six minutes during Monday's 102-99 loss to the Hawks.Lauvergne has been quiet lately, appearing in just seven of 12 games since he tallied 11 points and six boards in 26 minutes as a starter during a 100-89 loss versus the Jazz back on Dec. 21. Pau Gasol is dealing with an injury to his shooting hand, and it was Gasol's absence that allowed Lauvergne his last opportunity to start and exceed 15 minutes. If Gasol were to miss Wednesday's matchup against the Nets, Lauvergne could be among those to benefit from a fantasy perspective. Nevertheless, having cleared 20 minutes just twice this season while reaching double figures in scoring only three times through 26 appearances, Lauvergne remains a risky option at best.
