Spurs' Chris Paul: Reaches No. 2 in all-time assists
Paul notched six points (2-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, 10 assists and two steals across 31 minutes during Sunday's 121-116 victory over the Pelicans.
Paul's 10 assists moved him to No. 2 in all-time assists (12,099), placing him above Jason Kidd (12,091) and only behind John Stockton (15,806). Paul is on a particularly good stretch of passing lately, dropping at least eight dimes in five straight games and averaging 10.0 assists during this run. The future Hall-of-Famer is having a bounceback season with the Spurs following his one-year stint with the Warriors.

Spurs' Devin Vassell: Struggles with shot
Vassell totaled seven points (3-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one block across 28 minutes during Sunday's 121-116 win over the Pelicans.
For the first time this campaign, Vassell was held to single-digit points. Although his workloads have been low with the franchise being super cautious with the guard, he's still been productive for the most part. Through nine appearances, he's averaging 16.6 points, 1.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.4 three-pointers.

Spurs' Harrison Barnes: Hits three triples
Barnes accumulated 16 points (4-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Sunday's 121-116 victory over the Pelicans.
Barnes snapped out of a brutal slump with this performance. In his previous four games, Barnes was held to eight points or less, hitting a combined 9-for-30 from the field in that span. Fantasy managers will be looking to see if the veteran can find the consistency he showed for most of November.

Spurs' Charles Bassey: Surprises with double-double
Bassey finished Sunday's 121-116 victory over the Pelicans with 16 points (6-12 FG, 4-7 FT), 12 rebounds and four blocks over 18 minutes.
Bassey did most of his damage during Victor Wembanyama's brief absence, logging seven points, a rebound and a blocked shot in the first quarter. Sunday was easily his best game of the season, but it would take an extended absence from Wembanyama for the shot-block specialist to have significant fantasy value.

Spurs' Stephon Castle: Explodes after trip to locker room
Castle amassed 22 points (8-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Sunday's 121-116 victory over the Pelicans.
Castle banged his shoulder in the second quarter, forcing a brief trip to the locker room. He was back on the bench before halftime and inflicted significant damage for the remainder of the game. Castle scored 12 points in the fourth quarter when he converted two three-point attempts, adding a rebound and a steal. The Spurs are headed into a four-day break before their next game, so Castle's injury is unlikely to be a burden after the rest period.

Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Double-doubles after injury scare
Wembanyama notched 25 points (9-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and three blocks in 26 minutes during Sunday's 121-116 win over the Pelicans.
Wembanyama entered the game with an injury tag, and the back ailment flared back up in his return, forcing him to leave the game early in the first quarter. He returned to the floor in the second quarter and turned San Antonio's slight deficit into a massive lead by halftime. The Spurs will enjoy a significant break this week, which will give Wembanyama plenty of time to rest his back.

Spurs' Keldon Johnson: Leaves early with calf injury
Johnson will not return to Sunday's game against the Pelicans due to a left calf injury, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports. He'll finish the game with eight points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four assists, two rebounds and one steal across 11 minutes.
Johnson sustained the calf injury during the second quarter of Sunday's contest, and he'll have to wait until at least Friday's game against Portland to make his potential return. With the forward sidelined for the rest of Sunday's contest, the Spurs could lean more heavily on Stephon Castle and Julian Champagnie on the wing.

Spurs' Zach Collins: Won't return Sunday
Collins has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Pelicans with a back injury, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports. He'll finish the game with two points (1-2 FG) and three rebounds across three minutes.
The big man replaced Victor Wembanyama (back) after the latter left for the locker room early in the first quarter, though Collins contested a shot and fell hard on his back just three minutes into his appearance. With Wembanyama questionable to return and Collins already ruled out, Charles Bassey is the next man up at center for San Antonio.

Wembanyama went back to the locker room with an apparent back injury in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Pelicans, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
Wembanyama was originally listed as questionable for Sunday's game due to bilateral lower-back soreness that kept him out of the club's last two outings. The big man was eventually upgraded to available, though he checked out of the game early and pointed at his back while walking to the locker room. He can be considered questionable to return until the team says otherwise.
