Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Nabs second straight double-double
Rotowire
Wembanyama had 29 points (9-14 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists, three blocks and two steals across 34 minutes during Thursday's 135-123 win over Dallas.
Wembanyama posted a strong shooting line, highlighted by five made triples. Thursday marked his best showing from deep since Jan. 19, when he went 7-for-12 from downtown. Wembanyama continues to feast on the opposite end of the court and has racked up 10 total swats over his last three games.
Joining Barnes in the first unit for Thursday's game will be De'Aaron Fox, Devin Vassell, Julian Champagnie and Victor Wembanyama. As a starter this season, Barnes is averaging 10.5 points, 2.1 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 1.8 triples per contest.

Spurs' Stephon Castle: Coming off bench Thursday
Rotowire
Castle is not in the Spurs' starting lineup against the Mavericks on Thursday.
Castle has started in each of his 40 games prior to Thursday's contest, but he has seen his production dip as of late. The Spurs will change things up by shifting Castle to a bench role while moving veteran Harrison Barnes back into the starting lineup.

Spurs' Kelly Olynyk: Cleared to play
Rotowire
Olynyk (foot) is available for Thursday's game against the Mavericks, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
Olynyk was ruled out for Wednesday's clash due to a foot injury, but he'll be available if needed against Dallas. He could see some minutes behind Victor Wembanyama as the backup center with Luke Kornet (ankle) ruled out.

Spurs' Dylan Harper: Will play Thursday
Rotowire
Harper (ankle) is good to go for Thursday's game in Dallas, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.
Harper skipped Wednesday's win over the Thunder, but he'll return for Thursday's game without restrictions. With Harper back in the mix, Jordan McLaughlin could drop from the rotation entirely.

Spurs' Jeremy Sochan: Won't play Thursday
Rotowire
Sochan won't play in Thursday's game against the Mavericks due to a left quadriceps strain, NBA reporter Matthew Tynan reports.
Sochan is out for a fifth straight contest with the injury. The 22-year-old forward's absence doesn't appear to alter the Spurs' frontcourt rotation. His next chance to play comes during Saturday's meeting with Dallas.

Spurs' Lindy Waters: Out again Thursday
Rotowire
Waters (knee) is out for Thursday's game against the Mavericks.
Waters is typically an emergency depth option for San Antonio, so his absence is unlikely to make any waves in fantasy hoops.

Spurs' Kelly Olynyk: Questionable Thursday
Rotowire
Olynyk (foot) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Mavericks, NBA reporter Matthew Tynan reports.
Olynyk hasn't been in San Antonio's rotation recently, but he'll be a candidate to soak up some minutes if he's cleared to play Thursday with the team very shorthanded at the moment. The veteran big man has averaged 9.5 minutes across 28 regular-season appearances.

Spurs' Luke Kornet: Ruled out Thursday
Rotowire
Kornet has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Mavericks due to left ankle soreness and left adductor tightness, NBA reporter Matthew Tynan reports.
After grabbing 15 boards in 15 minutes during Wednesday's win over the Thunder, Kornet will take a seat for the second half of San Antonio's back-to-back set. Carter Bryant should stick in the rotation Thursday, while Kornet is expected to be back in action Saturday during a rematch against Dallas.

Spurs' Dylan Harper: Iffy for Thursday
Rotowire
Harper (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Mavericks, NBA reporter Matthew Tynan reports.
Harper remains day-to-day after missing the front end of this back-to-back set Wednesday against the Thunder. If Harper remains on the shelf, guys like Julian Champagnie, Keldon Johnson and Jordan McLaughlin could be more involved.
McLaughlin amassed three points (1-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal across 13 minutes during Wednesday's 116-106 win over Oklahoma City.
McLaughlin continues to play a minor role for the Spurs, barely noticeable on most nights. In fact, this was just the fifth time all season that he played double-digit minutes. In 22 appearances, he has averaged just 2.0 points in 6.0 minutes per game, barely making him a top 400 player for the season.

Spurs' Julian Champagnie: Modest effort Wednesday
Rotowire
Champagnie finished with eight points (3-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt), five rebounds and three assists across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 116-106 win over the Thunder.
Champagnie produced another passive performance, scoring fewer than 15 points for the fifth straight game. Since the return of Devin Vassell from injury, Champagnie has seen his overall value take a hit, averaging 10.7 points and 2.3 three-pointers in six appearances over the past two weeks. Moving forward, managers should consider him a stream-level player for anyone seeking a boost in perimeter production.

Spurs' Luke Kornet: Grabs 15 boards in loss
Rotowire
Kornet chipped in four points (2-7 FG), 15 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 15 minutes during Wednesday's 116-106 victory over the Thunder.
Kornet recorded a team-high 15 rebounds, the most he has pulled down in any game this season. While the boards were a real positive, he was limited to just 15 minutes, the fewest he has played in his past five games. As long as Victor Wembanyama is healthy, Kornet should be viewed as nothing more than a potential streaming consideration for anyone needing blocks and rebounds.
Barnes will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against OKC.
Barnes, after starting in each of his first 47 appearances, will come off the bench for the second time in three games. The Spurs will opt for a first unit of De'Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle, Devin Vassell, Julian Champagnie and Victor Wembanyama.

Spurs' Kelly Olynyk: Not playing Wednesday
Rotowire
Olynyk (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder, Don Harris of News 4 San Antonio reports.
Olynyk has been a healthy DNP in each of the Spurs' last four games but will be held out of Wednesday's contest due to left foot soreness. His next chance to play is Thursday against the Mavericks, though Olynyk's return wouldn't impact the Spurs' rotation all that much.

Spurs' Stephon Castle: Available to play
Rotowire
Castle (thigh) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Thunder, Don Harris of News 4 San Antonio reports.
Castle is back after a one-game absence, which could result in Julian Champagnie or Devin Vassell heading back to the second unit. Castle is averaging 16.6 points, 7.0 assists, 5.0 rebounds, 1.1 triples and 1.3 steals per game this season.
