Impresses in starting role Friday Vassell supplied 20 points (9-13 FG, 2-2 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Friday's 136-121 win over the Hawks.

Impact Vassell moved into the starting lineup Friday, replacing Derrick White, who was traded to Boston just 24 hours earlier. Fantasy managers have been waiting patiently for Vassell to be given a consistent role, and it appears their waiting may have finally paid off. With so much hype, chances are Vassell has been scooped up in the majority of competitive leagues. In leagues where he remains available, now is the time to make the move.

Takes on starting role Vassell is starting Friday's game against Atlanta, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Impact Vassell saw sporadic time in the starting lineup to begin the season, but he'll serve as a starter after Derrick White was traded to the Celtics on Thursday. Assuming the 21-year-old performs well as a member of the starting five, it wouldn't be surprising to see him maintain the role.

Hoists 16 shots Vassell contributed 18 points (8-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and two steals in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 105-92 loss to Cleveland.

Impact Vassell matched his season-high in field-goals attempted (16), but did so efficiently and co-led San Antonio in points on the night. He entered Wednesday in a 3-for-13 slump across 50 minutes over two games prior. Vassell has shown major growth in year two, and it will be interesting to see if his role changes should the Spurs make any moves at the deadline.

Back in starting lineup Vassell will start Thursday's game against the Heat.

Impact Vassell had 14 points (4-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and two steals in 30 minutes off the bench Tuesday against Golden State, and he'll return to the starting five Thursday with Doug McDermott (ankle) unavailable. Vassell has averaged 12.7 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists as starter this year.

Bounces back in return to bench Vassell put up 14 points (4-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and two steals across 30 minutes Tuesday in the Spurs' 124-120 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Vassell flopped in a starting role in Sunday's loss to the Suns while both Dejounte Murray (knee) and Derrick White (rest) sat out, but the second-year wing fared much better Tuesday in his return to the second unit. The 21-year-old has now cleared double figures in the scoring column in all but two of his last 15 appearances while averaging 5.3 rebounds, 2.3 three-pointers, 1.7 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.5 blocks during that stretch. Unless he sees an uptick in playing time, Vassell is best viewed as a streaming option in 12-team leagues for three-pointers, though he's probably worthy of a permanent roster spot in deeper formats.

Back to bench Tuesday Vassell will come off the bench Tuesday against the Warriors.

Impact Vassell will return to a reserve role with the Spurs' usual starters available. In his past seven games off the bench, he's averaged 13.7 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 25.0 minutes.

Will start Sunday Vassell will start Sunday's game against Phoenix, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Impact The Spurs are using Sunday to rest a few banged-up veterans, including Derrick White (rest), Dejounte Murray (ankle) and Jakob Poeltl (back), so Vassell and Tre Jones will hold down the backcourt spots. Vassell has been on a nice run of late as a scorer, averaging 13.8 points and 2.3 threes in 27.5 minutes per game over his last 13 appearances.

Team-high 20 points from bench Vassell recorded 20 points (8-16 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and four rebounds over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 118-110 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact The Spurs are electing to continue with Doug McDermott in the starting lineup, but Devin Vassell is making a case to take over at small forward. His scoring totals in a reserve tole are blowing out McDermott's numbers nightly, but this is one of Gregg Popovich's many frustrations. The coach is notorious for making arbitrary rotational decisions that give fantasy managers fits.

Another productive night Vassell had 15 points (6-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist over 20 minutes during Sunday's 115-109 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Vassell continues to prove he can be an effective scoring threat off the bench, as he has scored double-digit points in four of his last five appearances in which he hasn't been part of the starting lineup. Vassell is averaging 13.6 points and 5.2 rebounds per game in January.

Leads bench with 19 points Vassell amassed 19 points (7-10 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 118-96 victory over the Thunder.

Impact Vassell reached the 19-point mark for a sixth time this season, as the forward led all bench players offensively by a wide margin during the Spurs' victory. The former Florida State standout also contributed off the glass and recorded at least eight rebounds for a second time across the last three games. Vassell has registered double figures offensively in each of his past eight outings.

Back to bench role Vassell isn't starting Monday's game against Phoenix.

Impact Vassell drew two straight starts and fared well, recording a double-double Saturday against the Clippers, but he'll return to his typical bench role with Derrick White cleared to return. He put up 12 points and snagged five boards in his last contest off the bench Jan. 12 against Houston.

Double-double in win over Clips Vassell logged 10 points (3-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 31 minutes during Saturday's 101-94 win over the Clippers.

Impact Back in the starting five for the second straight game, Vassell notched his first double-double of his career and chipped in some defensive numbers to help fantasy managers. The second-year wing is averaging 13.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.5 threes over the last six games, but he's shooting only 40.0 percent from the field in that stretch.

Starting Friday Vassell is starting Friday's game against the Cavaliers, Tim Bielik of Cleveland.com reports.

Impact Vassell played 22 minutes off the bench in his return to the court Wednesday. However, he'll now rejoin the starting lineup, while Lonnie Walker will come off the bench.

Returns with little fanfare in loss Vassell posted 12 points (3-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds and one block across 22 minutes during Wednesday's 128-124 loss to Houston.

Impact Vassell came off the bench in his return Wednesday and failed to deliver anything of note. He continues to be one of the more polarizing names in fantasy, with many people split on his potential value. Thus far he has not been a player worth holding in standard formats. However, we have seen flashes, and there is a decent chance the Spurs increase his playing time down the stretch. For now, he should be considered more of a stash than a player who must be rostered.
