Devin Vassell

Johnson is expected to be back after missing Wednesday's game against Denver. Julian Champagnie took on extra minutes with both Johnson and Devin Vassell sidelined, but his role will decrease with both wings back.

Vassell missed Wednesday's game against Denver, which allowed Julian Champagnie to slide into the starting lineup. With Vassell back and Keldon Johnson probable, Champagnie will return to playing a reserve role, which will eliminate the streaming value that he held.

Champagnie moved into the starting lineup Wednesday with Devin Vassell out. Despite playing 32 minutes for the second night in a row, his production fell off a bit as he only had 14 points. Champagnie struggled from three-point land as he went 2-of-9 on three-point attempts compared to 5-of-9 against Orlando on Tuesday. Champagnie is merely a streaming option when the Spurs are missing a starter.

The Spurs will not have Devin Vassell for Wednesday's game, opening up a spot within the starting lineup. Champagnie will fill the resulting void, and his fantasy ceiling is raised even higher with Keldon Johnson also out.

Johnson was initially listed as questionable, but has since been ruled out with a back injury. With Devin Vassell and Jeremy Sochan also out, Julian Champagnie figures to play a significant role against the Nuggets Wednesday.
