Wembanyama ended with a game-high 42 points (13-24 FG, 7-15 3Pt, 9-12 FT), six rebounds, five assists, four blocks and two steals in 37 minutes during Thursday's 133-126 overtime win over Atlanta.
Victor Wembanyama's alley-oop off the backboard highlighted a monster 42-point night that carried the Spurs to a 133-126 overtime win over the Hawks.
Johnson and Collins are available after missing San Antonio's last two games, strengthening the Spurs' bench. While the former can provide deep-league value in his role, the latter should not be rostered as long as Victor Wembanyama is healthy. Collins' return also means fewer minutes for fellow reserve Charles Bassey.
Vassell will be part of the starting lineup for the first time this season. The lineup change boosts his fantasy value, much to the delight of those who have him rostered. Vassell's promotion means Julian Champagnie, who has been a fixture in the starting five, heads to the bench. Those who have Champagnie should hold onto him for the time being because he can still have value playing 22-26 minutes off the bench.
Just how rare is San Antonio Spurs budding star Victor Wembanyama? Tom Haberstroh and Dan Devine dive deep into the numbers to illustrate how much of a unicorn the French big man is becoming in the NBA.
