Plays 23 minutes off bench Eubanks had eight points (2-4 FG, 4-5 FT) and five rebounds in Sunday's win over Memphis.
Impact Eubanks isn't much of a fantasy consideration, but he took on a significantly larger workload Monday than he did in Friday's seeding-game opener, when he played just two minutes off the bench. With both LaMarcus Aldridge (shoulder) and Trey Lyles (appendicitis) sitting out, Eubanks could continue to play an elevated role behind Jakob Poeltl.

Scores 23 points in 21 minutes Gay registered 23 points (7-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five assists, four rebounds and one steal in 21 minutes during Tuesday's 118-111 scrimmage win over the Pacers.
Impact Gay was sensational, pacing the team in points despite coming off the bench. With LaMarcus Aldridge (shoulder) out for the rest of the season, Gay may be relied upon to help fill the void from a scoring perspective. However, it remains to be seen how coach Gregg Popovich will balance fighting for a playoff spot and developing the team's younger players.

Scores 17 in final scrimmage DeRozan turned in 17 points (8-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one block in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 118-111 scrimmage win over the Pacers.
Impact DeRozan can likely be expected to carry a sizable load offensively once the official games begin, as LaMarcus Aldridge (shoulder) has been ruled out for the rest of the season. With that being said, coach Gregg Popovich has stated that the team will primarily focus on development. As such, DeRozan may be most reliable for the first few games given that his minutes could eventually be reduced considerably if the team falls too far out of the playoff race.

Posts double-double in loss Poeltl posted 12 points (6-7 FG, 0-1 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist, and one block in 23 minutes during Saturday's 124-119 scrimmage loss against the Nets.
Impact Poeltl logged the second-fewest minutes among the starters in this one, but he delivered a strong performance on both ends of the court. The absence of both LaMarcus Aldridge (shoulder) and Trey Lyles (side) should allow Poeltl to see meaningful minutes at center once play resumes next week. He should make quite an impact if he can repeat this kind of output in the final games of the regular season.

Missing restart with appendicitis Coach Greg Popovich announced Wednesday that Lyles won't be available for the restart of the NBA season due to appendicitis, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
Impact The 24-year-old was expected to see an expanded role in the absence of LaMarcus Aldridge (shoulder), but the appendicitis appears to have cost him that opportunity. According to Garcia, Lyles recently underwent an appendectomy in Orlando and has been officially ruled out for the remainder of the season.
