Keldon Johnson Won't Be Ready To Begin Camp

San Antonio Spurs guard Keldon Johnson (foot) is not going to be ready to open up training camp. He is dealing with a minor foot issue, so the team has decided to keep him off the floor right away. Johnson is expected to be ready by the start of the regular season. However, he won't […]

Derrick White Expected To Miss Training Camp

San Antonio Spurs guard Derrick White (toe) is not going to be available for the start of training camp. He underwent a minor toe procedure back in August. However, the organization is not concerned about White being unavailable for the start of the 2020-2021 season. He should be ready to go soon and is primed […]

Jakob Poeltl Re-Signs With Spurs

San Antonio Spurs center Jakob Poeltl has re-signed with the team on a three-year, $27 million contract. Poeltl played in 66 games for the Spurs last year, starting 18 of them and averaging 5.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks per game. He shot 62.4 percent. There are still a few questions to answer about […]

Drew Eubanks Agrees To Three-Year Deal With Spurs

San Antonio Spurs power forward Drew Eubanks is signing a three-year deal to return to the team. While his 2019-20 numbers weren't great, he played well in the bubble, averaging 7.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks in the eight games the Spurs played. He's unlikely to repeat that performance over a full season, but […]

2020 NBA Draft Winners and Losers - Instant Analysis

Last night's NBA Draft is the mid-point in a wild week of offseason action for the NBA. In a draft without a clear first pick, the Minnesota Timberwolves chose to go with Georgia's Anthony Edwards. Golden State -- who may have lost Klay Thompson for the year with an Achilles injury on Wednesday -- took […]

Spurs Nab Devin Vassell With No. 11 Overall Pick

The San Antonio Spurs have added shooting guard Devin Vassell to the fray with the 11th overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft. Known as a two-way wing, Vassell should immediately fit in as a three-and-D guy at the game's highest level, having shot 41.7 percent from long range during his two collegiate seasons at […]

DeMar DeRozan Staying With Spurs

San Antonio Spurs forward DeMar DeRozan has unsurprisingly accepted his $27.7 million player option for next season. This was a no-brainer for him since it's unlikely he'd get anything close to that in free agency. There has been speculation that the Spurs want to trade DeRozan, but it'll be difficult finding a suitor that wants […]

2020 NBA Mock Draft - RotoSurgeon's Fantasy Spin

The 2020 NBA Draft is drawing near and one of my favorite yearly rituals is reading about young players I typically forgot watching in NCAA games in mock drafts. Mock drafts are fun because they allow for a world of possibilities with players and teams alike where we each have our own individual vision on […]

Spurs Attempting To Trade Patty Mills

San Antonio Spurs guard Patty Mills could be on the move this offseason, according to Kevin O'Connor. The organization is reportedly shopping the veteran guard with both Milwaukee and Philadelphia showing interest. Mills fantasy value took a hit last season, but that was likely because the team wanted to give their younger talent a better […]

Spurs Attempted To Trade LaMarcus Aldridge

San Antonio Spurs center LaMarcus Aldridge was reportedly being shopped around during the February deadline. The 35-year-old center has one year left on his deal worth $24 million for next season. It sounds like the Spurs overvalued Aldridge at the deadline and couldn't find a suitor. It'll be interesting to see if they revisit the […]

DeMar DeRozan Expected To Pick Up Player Option

San Antonio Spurs forward DeMar DeRozan is expected to pick up his player option for the 2020-2021 season. DeRozan is slated to make $27.7 million next season, so it's not surprising to see him picking up the option. However, it seems like the team is leaning towards a rebuild, so maybe the Spurs might consider […]

Derrick White Undergoes Surgery

San Antonio Spurs guard Derrick White (toe) is without a timetable to return after undergoing surgery on Friday. He dislocated his toe on his left foot and had a minor procedure in order to fix the issue. Obviously, the Spurs are already eliminated from the playoffs, so this won't have any impact on DFS contests […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (8/14/20): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a four-game slate for Friday's NBA schedule and it is quite underwhelming given the circumstances. With playoffs looming and teams uninterested in "home"-court advantage, it is not going to be teams' bright and best out there for most of the games, if at all. The only playoff scenario possibly affected comes via games […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (8/13/20): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

With a seven-game slate Thursday, the playoff race has become more intense than ever. With the prospect of a play-in game, teams like the Trail Blazers and Suns have more to fight for than just seeding. Both teams need to keep winning games and if the cards fall in the right spot, the Suns could […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (8/13/20): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a five-game slate on Thursday and we're a few games into garbage season for NBA DFS. Teams are resting starters willy nilly, capping minutes seemingly at random, and just trying to coast by in general - either to the playoffs or to their offseason. However, there are four teams that are still vying […]

Bryn Forbes Won't Play Versus Jazz

San Antonio Spurs guard Bryn Forbes (quad) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Utah Jazz. The team is going to be cautious here, especially with Forbes battling left quad soreness. Keldon Johnson will be asked to play significant minutes off the bench in Thursday's game. He'll be an interesting low-cost DFS option […]

Jakob Poeltl Records Second Double-Double In Three Games

San Antonio Spurs center Jakob Poeltl posted his second double-double in three games in Monday's victory over the Houston Rockets. Poeltl scored 14 points and pulled down 12 rebounds along with one assist, one steal and one block in 28 minutes. The 24-year-old took advantage of Houston's small-ball lineup down low in the post and […]

DeMar DeRozan Scores Efficient 23 Points

San Antonio Spurs guard DeMar DeRozan scored 23 points on 69.2 percent shooting from the field, adding six rebounds, four assists, two steals and a block in 28 minutes. The 31-year-old is doing his best to keep San Antonio's playoff hopes alive, as they've now won three in a row and are just 1.5 games […]

Keldon Johnson Has Best Game Of Career

San Antonio Spurs forward Keldon Johnson posted career-highs in points, 24, and rebounds, 11, along with three triples en route to his first career double-double. Johnson broke out earlier in August for 35 points in two games and is getting much more playing time in the bubble. The 20-year-old offers good three-point shooting, rebounding and […]

Derrick White Questionable Versus Rockets

San Antonio Spurs guard Derrick White (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Houston Rockets. He is dealing with a bruised left knee, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the Spurs take the cautious approach here. DeMar DeRozan and Dejounte Murray will see their usage increase without White on the court. […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (8/11/20): NBA DFS Lineups

The final week of regular season in the bubble is underway and we have already seen a few teams mathematically eliminated from playoffs. We still have a few days before the eliminated teams will be leaving the bubble for good and this could be a good opportunity to find some hidden gems.  Even the bubble […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (8/9/20): NBA DFS Lineups

Just when the NBA makes you think the season is just about done from a competitive standpoint, one of the smallest slates since the restart turns out to be the best night of basketball in recent memory. Both the Clippers and Trail Blazers play the second-half-of-back-to-back games Sunday after playing each other Saturday afternoon, so […]

DeMar DeRozan Remains Quiet On Friday

San Antonio Spurs shooting guard DeMar DeRozan recorded only 13 points on 4-for-10 shooting in Friday's win over the Jazz, adding five assists, two steals, and two rebounds. DeRozan had a superb 30-point performance against Philly at the start of the week, but he's now managed only 31 total points across two games. Luckily for […]

Jakob Poeltl Ends Double-Double Drought

San Antonio Spurs center Jakob Poeltl collected a nice 19-point, 10-rebound double-double in Friday's win over Utah, adding three blocks and a pair of assists. It's his first double-double since a 16-point, 13-rebound effort on Jan. 27 against Chicago. Poeltl has seen his minutes go up with LaMarcus Aldridge (shoulder) missing, but he's been fairly […]

Derrick White Scores Team-High 24 Points

San Antonio Spurs point guard Derrick White produced his third consecutive 20-point game on Friday, finishing a 119-111 win over Utah with a team-high 24 points on 8-for-15 shooting. He made four triples with nine attempts, adding six rebounds, four assists, one steal, and one block in 33 minutes. White has really blossomed since the […]

Keldon Johnson Racks Up 20 Bench Points

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Keldon Johnson had a career night on Wednesday against Denver with 20 points off the bench. He shot 7-for-10 in 26 minutes of action, sinking both of his attempts from deep. The 20-year-old rookie also picked up six rebounds, two assists, and one steal. Johnson was used very little during the […]

San Antonio Spurs forward Rudy Gay was the team's top scorer with 24 points in Wednesday's loss to Denver, shooting 9-for-18 from the field and 2-for-6 from downtown. He logged 26 minutes off the bench and contributed nicely across the board, adding four assists, four rebounds, two blocks, and one steal. Gay isn't the player […]

Derrick White Notches 23 Points Wednesday Night

San Antonio Spurs point guard Derrick White continued his good run of form with 23 points in Wednesday's loss to Denver. He shot 6-for-15 from the field and 4-for-10 from downtown with a 7-for-8 record at the line. White added seven assists, three rebounds, two steals, and one block to his line. The 26-year-old guard […]
