Spurs' Stephon Castle: Comes close to double-double
Rotowire
Castle finished with 18 points (6-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds and six assists over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 125-116 win over Boston.
Castle was coming off a 23-point performance against the Rockets, and even though he couldn't reach the 20-point plateau in two straight games (something he hasn't done since December), he still posted an impressive stat line overall while ending just one rebound shy of a double-double. Castle is firmly entrenched as the Spurs' starter at the two alongside De'Aaron Fox. While his numbers in recent weeks have represented a downgrade compared to what he was doing before the break, Castle remains a productive player. The second-year guard is averaging 15.5 points, 4.4 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 1.0 steals per game in 11 appearances since the All-Star break.

Spurs' Stephon Castle: Expects to play Thursday
Rotowire
Castle (hip) is expected to play in Thursday's game against the Nets, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.
Castle remains listed as questionable on the injury report due to left hip soreness, but he's evidently trending in the right direction. The team should have confirmation on his status after watching him go through pre-game warmups.
Castle is questionable for Thursday's game against the Nets due to left hip flexor tightness.
Thursday is the second part of San Antonio's back-to-back, which could influence the team's decision on Castle's availability. If the second-year guard is ultimately downgraded to out, Dylan Harper and Devin Vassell would likely be tasked with extra playmaking responsibilities.

Spurs' Stephon Castle: Logs 24 points during win
Rotowire
Castle finished with 18 points (6-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-8 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one block across 24 minutes during Saturday's 139-122 victory over the Kings.
Castle's above-average rebound result offset a low shot volume to give the standout guard a respectable fantasy total in the decisive win. Castle and De'Aaron Fox both finished with less than 30 minutes of playing time and were pulled late with the victory well in hand. Monday's game against the Pistons should pose a stiffer challenge for the red-hot Spurs, and it's reasonable to expect more participation from the team's backcourt in the matchup.
